    Or down to having got rid of all your clothes and having to go out in just undies :rotfl:

    I've put a few mire things on Ebay and also bought a dusky pink mac off Ebay that will go in my capsule wardrobe. I really can't wear those beige 'Mac coloured' macs that look sophisticated on some folk as the colour makes me look like I haven't slept for a week. :eek:

    Finally spent £16 on a new top for work but I think the fact that I have gone almost 3 months without any spend at all is a major achievement for me. I have to be honest though...I am still thinking about shoes alot:o
  • ok I'm going to count and update asap...I swear the clothes have been mating in the wardrobe ...:)

    Dont worry I am here :D Did go in a few Charity shops yesterday and found a brand new tagged pair of Adidas tracky bottoms marked at £55 :eek: for £3 was so excited my size woo hoo tried them on (thats my new policy ) Due to not buying anything I wont wear thank you this challenge :) And they were so short on me looked like right ankle swingers if you know what I mean :D Gutted was not the word !!! So back on the rail they went for a lady with short legs :D

    Glad you mentioned the bag I have stuffed it in a cupboard and forgot I had it :o So will give it a clean today and move my junk in to it and use it from today .I had forgotten how nice it is :)

    I did buy a garmin watch for my running which I love and have used it loads but haven't added it here as I felt it didn't fall into this category (or am I kidding myself now I think about it ? )

    Good luck to all and considered buying please :rotfl:

    3 days to go... Will I manage another month???? Hubby is off to Crawley tomorrow- he has asked if I want to come- ummm 2 hours let loose on the shops... If I stay at home I would definitely notch up another No spend clothes month.
