Yes that does make me feel a bit better so thanks for that:D
Sarahlovesshoes Yes I think we may have a slight problem :rotfl:But at least we are thinking about it now which has got to be a good thing.
A capsule wardrobe :eek: Wouldn't that be nice but I honestly wouldn't know where to start.
Did make a bit of a start yesterday and cleaned all my kitchen cupboards out :eek::eek: My DH helped and said we haven't had to throw much away have we. When I looked there was 4 bin bags full of junk and stuff we don't need. If only I could be as ruthless with clothes and shoes etc

Anyway enough of my waffle am going to start tackling the clothes cull soon :eek:

Good luck to all and keep those eyes firmly shut

I have no issue clearing my wardrobe out......it is just I then go out and buy more!!! ha ha


I think......oooooo look at all the space I have lets fill it!:rotfl:
I reckon my issue is because I had lots of handy me downs as a child and we couldn't afford much I now make up for it! haha
That is my opinion :-)


If I go out with the girls I buy a whole new outfit including shoes....I don't like wearing the same thing twice even if I look amazing in it!! I am just odd
I buy a whole new wardrobe to go on holidays even if I have plenty I could take.


I would love to post a picture of the one side of my wardrobe that is just made up of brand new clothes but I am ashamed



On a positive note - I was paid Friday and aside from the £39 I am under budget for this month and have so far resist the call of the shops.


Now Im off to bleach my tiles :eek:

Still on track with this challenge and haven't spent anything out of my budget so far...I think it will be more difficult as the nicer weather comes along as I am hibernating at the moment:o

Had a bit of a catch up, well done to everyone for all of your efforts.
The Cashmere skirt that I bought for £1 sold for £15 on eBay, so that will go towards my clothing budget.
The shoes that I bought on impulse are going back. I can't walk in them! I don't want to get into the habit of buying and returning, it is such a waste if effort & energy. I had a couple of charity shop spends at the weekend, will update sig later.
Have a good day y'all

Just ordered some cashmere fabric to make myself a new cashmere and lambswool coat. Ooh err, does it count as a spend if it's a hobby too? It only cost £40 to pretty pleased with that! Once I've bought the silk lining and the other notions the whole coat will cost about £75.

Just sold 2 pairs of boots on FB and made £65 to take off my new Red boots which I wore today I am NOT saving them for best !

Going to have a bit of a wardrobe sort out tomorrow and take stock and try to organise in some way Make space and NOT replace it.

Easier said than done I think.

Throw away any extra hangers. Only leave yourself enough hangers for what you have.

When you buy something, you can't hang it, so you have to chuck something else :P

I have gone £17 over budget......


but on the plus side I have made £75 this month selling bits and pieces so I am £8 up (in my eyes)


I am allowed to spend birthday money that I haven't had yet???


I did get a tropical sun dress, a play suit, a black loose day dress and a skater dress for holiday.


Oh Mavvymoo....so glad you are wearing the red boots :-)

Green salad - I may actually throw out some hangers and see if that helps! great tip! :T


So seeing as I have a new wardrobe ordered for hols I better go and have another clearout to list on facebook.........again!!!!
