  • £45.50 on 4 maternity items I actually did need (including a coat as mine won't do up over my bump now!) Going to try to get some things on ebay today to offset this as much as possible.
    PAD: £4843.10 (loan paid, yay!)
    One debt vs 100 days: £288.73 / £750
    £20 a day: March £838.97 / £620 April £224.53 / £600


    Total debt 04/2015: £13,997.51
  • I've been madly clearing stuff out - 2 bags for my friends to have a rummage through yesterday, then another big bag for charity today.

    Although I've been good at not buying from charity shops I did buy a lovely top in the sale from a posh shop. It was reduced from £90 to £25 and will go with loads of things I already have so one step towards capsule wardrobe.

    Budget £150 - £25 spend = £125

    Hi Everyone we are proving to be so disciplined:rotfl:Go Us :D

    I have had another shopping trip and yes you guessed it not one penny spent on clothes. My bank balance is looking so much healthier and it is down to this challenge.So glad I joined and thank you to whoever thought of this one you are a genius.

    Still love the idea of a capsule wardrobe but haven't had the time to check it out but will do.

    Well done to all and love to read about all your successful non buying trips it makes me so more determined not to give in to temptation !!!

  • Good morning all:)


    I have just had a lovely hour catching up on all your inspirational posts - well done everyone.


    Well I have purchased two items since January - one dress reduced to £15 from £35 and a new winter coat reduced to £20 from £64.99.


    The coat was not on my needed list until last week I ripped it at the back - and it was in a place I can't hide a repair - it was a hand me up from DD2 so wasn't brand new and was starting to look scruffy so I suppose a new coat for £20 isn't too bad .


    But I am only going to declare the dress as its my birthday today so any birthday money I get will pay for the coat.


    So that's £15/£100 for me at the moment.

    Haven't bought any clothes since 24th Dec.
    A Next Directory got delivered for the previous owners. Thought I would have a look but have decided to bin it as it makes you desire things that you don't need.
