I feel so much better I am not spending on stuff I will never wear and have just managed to put £400 away in a savings account for the weekly saving challenge so am ahead of where I need to be already Down to not spending on carp that I dont need.

I will try and continue saving about £50 week as I am sure I was spending about that on clothes before I joined this challenge.

No need to feel bad, you are within your budget making choices. Your goal isnt to spend nothing at all but to stick within your amount for the year. The questions I am asking myself before buying are 1) do I love it 2) will I use it and 3) will it go with things I already own. Then really Im trying to decide if I really want 'it' or just want the buzz of buying something, getting a bargain etc.

Sound like you are becoming more conscious of your buying choices, so its all good

February was a total spend free month in regards to my clothes budget :T

Hoping for the same in March and the next few months, as I can't see me needing anything until at least August - and if I can shift enough weight before the wedding I shouldn't even need anything then
