Right You lovely lot :rotfl:
A needed spend of £5 for a lovely M&S new dressing gown (cs) So I can bin my awful old one which is pretty disgusting.
And a couldn't pass them by type of spend :rotfl:£4.25 for a new pair of Jones green leather ballet type flat pumps. Which are really lovely and I will wear them a lot with wide leg linen trousers.
So £9.25 to add to my total
Eyes shut everyone

I very nearly buckled whilst out shopping [strike]today[/strike] yesterday

I was on a retail park, when I spotted one of the stores had posters in the window about Red N0se Day T-shirts exclusive to them, and I just had to nip in for a look. There were 3 designs I quite liked, but the pic on one made it look more suitable for a bloke so I quickly lost interest in that one. I hummed and hah'd about the other two for quite a while, but finally my heart agreed with my head that I couldn't justify £9.99 (one I liked best of the remaining two, but glitzy patches that would probably wash off) or £14.99 for a T-shirt - and I left empty handed.

(I've already bought a pin badge, and if I happen to be around somewhere collecting for the event on Friday I'll drop some coins in)

If it makes you feel better I say well done on resisting the t-shirt. I really am not keen on Comic Relief (almost as much as I detest CIN). It's not the charities themselves but its the number of celebs who get involved who just 'happen' to be releasing a new album / book / film etc etc around the same time.

Good morning

After a. Few weeks of wearing my capsule wardrobe I assessed what was missing. I bought 2 tops, 2 pairs of trousers and a jacket on eBay yesterday. However, I didn't pay any money for them. I used nector points to pay the £16 in total that they cost.

Does this still count as money from my budget? If so, I will adjust my budget accordingly.

What do you all think?

Hiya

I linked my nectar card to my ebay account, initially in order to collect points on the few things I buy. I saw yesterday that you can spend the points too. There was a link on the front page of ebay when i logged in and I just followed the instructions. it was really easy.

Wow I am impressed that you managed to buy all that for £16. I would be inclined to say that using Nectar points means it doesn't come out of your budget. I always see points (Nectar, Boots etc) as a way of having a little treat for free. But that's just me

Ok I'm so far off the wagon I can't even see the wagon, just the dust as it rolls off into the distance :rotfl:

I've bought off Ebay (all new)
Fitflop pumps in lovely teal colour £20
Grey linen trousers (French Connection) £19
Silver grey silk top (kew) £15
Black clarks ankle strap shoes £30

I've decided not to count those things in my budget because I've cleared out bags and bags of clothes, and for the first time have sold stuff on Ebay. All of the things I've bought are out of the money I got for the sales and I still have £131 in Paypal for whatever else I need.
So all I have done is swapped things in my wardrobe that I didn't wear for pieces that work well with lots of things and I will get plenty wear out of them.

Capsule wardrobe coming along nicely. :T

Hello all. I finally have a new pair of jeans and the first two items for my new look. In total today I bought the jeans, some leggings, a long top, a coat and black ankle boots. Some items were half price in the sales. (Why are there always sales on these days?) Total £115.50. Well over budget to this point in time but everything was needed.
