Hi Everyone
I have been clearing out all the clothes I no longer want and now have 4 bin bags full of my and DHs unwanted stuff :eek:Going to sort the bags out and try and sell some of it as a lot new so will do some bundles and stick on FB as collections onlyThen I will take it off my spends which will please me greatly:)
Rowan Moon I had Pauls Think yourself thin and didn't get on with it at all. But if anyone wants to try it I always see loads in Charity shops for a few £s so dont spend loads on it as thats where mine went
I can now see whats in the wardrobe just about and will get rid of anything now I put on and then think 'I am not wearing
I seem to wear gym/running stuff and scruffy around the house stuff more than anything else. So I dont need loads of smart /going out clothes as hardly ever go out anywhere exciting
So a few key pieces on that front I think.
Good luck and keep those eyes shut

Paul McKenna is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I got mine from the library and just copied the CD.
Well done with all the clearing! I also got rid of another couple of bags today and took some things to see if my daughter wanted them. She was really chuffed with the purple coat I'd had for a few years but didn't wear all last or this winter so decided to release it into the wildI've also just sold £80 worth of stuff on Ebay so could either add that to my clothes budget but I'll think about that one.

Ellieseleven and serendipitous well done to you two for not touching your clothes budget :j
Pixtotts No one can begrudge you some emergency knickers :rotfl:Crazy clothes challenge 2017 - 30/3000 -
I'm going to need some emergency knickers too. Rare day in the office today and they kept falling down. And when I asked DD to buy me some recently on a shopping trip she got humungous ones, obviously what she thinks I should wear.
I was tempted to go clothes shopping today, still haven't started on my new look, but decided to get the early train home instead.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
I know that we still have three days left of the month but I know that I will not be going near any clothes shops so I am going to declare my second No spend month - plus no spends for this year yet.2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

Rowan Moon - emotional spending your thinking of me ..lol
Capsule wardrobe for me is still on! I am down to 40 items but 33 is do-able I hope. I do wonder though whether TO have two ??? a Spring /Summer and Autum /Winter but that will be 66 items!! so not sure if that will defeat the point ..I will have to mull that over ..
Scotmumof3 - enjoy your bag !!;)
Well done to all of the non - spenders..:T:T:T:T
Am thinking about getting my favourite jeans zip repaired and then dyeing some clothes but not too sure about the dye bit if I'm honest.. bet I will end up in a right bloody mess..lol :rotfl::rotfl:
