Mav - how we envy that short legged lady in her lovely new trackies ..lol
Just keeping the thread alive - hope all are well...and still on the wagon....its 20.56 and im still thinking about the shops...lol

Sam I do envy the short legged lady as I really wanted them and would have blown :rotfl:£3 of my budget on them. If I see her wearing them on the treadmill at the gym.I will just grit my teeth and run faster(as I have longer legs remember ) in my carp A*da cheapo trackies :mad:

I also keep thinking what can I jusify buying as I am getting withdrawal too and keep thinking of the shops. But I really do not need anything if I really think about it.

But I am going to go back though the bins bags I have sorted to go just incase there is something in there I want now I know I shouldnt but it will be like shopping in my own spare room :rotfl:
And maybe it will give me the fix I need lol

Having already spent over £100 this month, I think that will do for me. I have the opportunity to use the car tomorrow and be free to shop but I am going to refrain. Go me!!

Just popped by to say still no clothes spends in 2015 and am declaring March a spendfree month a bit early, as I definitely won't be shopping this side of 31st.

So still 0/200.

We will see what April brings...

Well done all with your targets and successes.

I am also going to declare a no spend on clothes for March and for this year. I didn't go to Crawley today instead I have been cleaning the house ( we have builders in and I am trying to keep the dust down). So I haven't been tempted by the shops. Have a wedding next week - hopefully will still fit into my wedding dress ( bought it in Hobbs - it is cream and navy blue).

£0/£600 spent

Haha I have not been in my shop yet Havent had the urge yet Went swimming this morning (pool was freezing) So had to swim fast and still didnt warm up.
Came home had a cup of tea and then went out to start on fencing our paddock ! So have kept myself really busy so maybe that is the answer for me.
Oh hang on I will lose too much weight and then have to buy a new complete wardrobe So better bring on the malteasers bunnies later :rotfl:

Pitty we don't all live near each other, we could go in each other's shops
My news is the pink mac I bought from Ebay was not the right colour pink for me - too beige and made me look half dead :eek: so it's gone back on Ebay along with a few other bits and bobs. I did weaken with a charity shop buy last week but just £4.50 so not too bad.

Well done to those who had a no spend March :j

It is a shame Rowan moon we could shop till we dropped in each others shops Shame about the not so Pink mac but well done for not sticking it back in the wardrobe thinking one day it may be the right Pink for me :rotfl:Good luck with the sales and £4.50 I reckon thats OK

Hello all.
I'd like to join please . I'm fairly sure I started the challenge last year but then fell off the wagon .
Since then I've had a real good clear out in my wardrobe and am determined not to fill it all up again. I have a tendancy to buy cheap clothes (charity shops, sales) but end up not wearing them as don't fit/look right. I also tend to buy lots of similar items (even DS commented that I have plenty of grey tops already last time we were out shopping ).
I'm the same when buying for the kids, DS (11) asked me not to buy him any more clothes as he has enough (what?!)and DD(10) can't shut her cupboard door as has too much stuff!
I have been inspired by your capsule wardrobes and will aim for one of my own (and DC).
I plan to spend £20/month only (I'm not including DC in this). So with 9 months left that's £180.
