The Completely Crazy 2015 Clothes Challenge

Welcome Koselur :j

Mavvy we are looking for somewhere to have a few days Holiday, perhaps in a small cottage. Where would you recommend In Norfolk? Thinking I won't mention the charity shop treck to DH until we are there :rotfl:

There are a few nice charity shops near me, particularly in Ashbourne and Bakewell but it's always a bit hit and miss. Like other have said, sometimes there is a George or Tu top for £5 next to a karen Millen top for £6. But I love the thrill of tracking down a real bargain

How strange is that Rowan Moon Bakewell is somewhere we often go away to. I love that part of the world and it was a close call between Derbyshire and North Norfolk when we moved from Hertfordshire.

I would recommend anywhere between Hunstanton right along the coast to Sea Palling it is all lovely. I am in the Cromer Sheringham area which is lovely. If you find somewhere you like at a good price let me know and I will give you my opinion.

Maybe we could dump the DHs off somewhere and have a day Charity shopping which is something I am always up for

The prices do really vary here as well must be who ever prices them I reckon. Think they have a guide to work to.

On the exciting news the discarded clothes from my sort out have gone :eek:
Started to sort them out again to sell etc and lost the will to live so DH took all 4 bin bags to a charity shop.:)
And nothing came out of the bags and back in the wardrobe !!!!!!

Right I am now going to photograph my items for ebay to get them listed and out of my spare room

Two huge bags of clothes (mostley kids clothes) taken to charity shop this morning. Now have space in my wardrobe and kids draws

Koselur h+m my favourite too (in fact we are an h+m family ).

So much for a low spend week, took a car load of kids to water park yesterday (£30 to get us all in), only bought 2 drinks though and kids loved it .

Whoops, coming on to confess I spent £38 in primark today :eek: although (yes, here comes the justificatiln)

£3 on three pairs of tights, on offer, noticed at a funeral on tues mine were in need of replacement.
£2.90 on velvet non-slip hangers, wondering in hindsight if the purple color ones were wise or if my white tops are in danger :eek:
£3 on new pillow protectors
£8 on a top In two sizes as I couldn't decide. The one I took to the changing rooms I couldn't get over me arms, my other usual size in there was still a bit tight , but not sure there's much diff in going up another size.

Also got a top in River Island for going out, saw another girl try it on and it looked fab on her, not sure if it suits me as its very off the shoulder and I have narrow shoulders so it almost hangs s little too much. Funny thing is that it's two sizes down from the potential top in primark....go figure. :doh:

Hi kerri!

I hope you're ok?

You're missing a right feast of fun with the nsd gang.The theme this month is all things Shakespeare.

We're doing a musical medley of Macbeth and Mamma Mia called Mamma Macbeth.I hear that you have some dancing skills that could come in handy, as Igor and Hubert can't dance for toffee.

No pressure,of course.

Have a good weekend.

Me Again to confess my sins
Chazzer shops again on Saturday and a very strange thing happened :eek: The dress I told you I had got in the week for £3 which I have bids on The bay as it was too big for me sadly.Well I loved it my colours style and everything. Walked in to a chazzer shop and guess what I found Yes my dress the same as the other one in 3 sizes down and my size :eek: Fits perfectly and looks Fab on :) How strange is that.I have never seen this dress before and there is no more on The Bay.
This one cost me £5.95 Also got a lovely Blue top (tags cut out)But a nice make and a great colour for £3.
Went to meet a friend for coffee today and nipped in to a chazzer and picked up a fab dress tagged at £55 for £7.95 and a lovely m&s skirt on the sale rail for £1
So will round it up to £18 and STOP spending for a while now !

Mavvy I will have to come to Norfolk and you come to Bakewell and we will do a charity shop crawl Well done on finding the dress in your size, it obviously had your name on it.

Sam you are doing a great job of selling and looks like you bagged some bargains too.

Scattyspice well done for getting your stuff to the charity shop.

I have to say I've also had a little spend - a maxi skirt (Principles) for £4 and a White Stuff top for £4.50 from the cs. Also a top and handbag on the way from Ebay that I'm not counting as part of my budget as it is out of the money made selling the unwanted clothes on Ebay. And (oh yes, when I get going there's no stopping me) some new Fitflops for the summer but they were out of birthday money my Mum gave me. Oh, and ordered some cycling knickers to go with the new bike I got for my birthday. (I'm told I need these knickers and apparently it is like wearing a nappy :eek:).

mavvymoo

Rowan Moon sounds like a plan
Trust me on the padded nappy knickers when I say they are horrible but you will need them

Well I am off to see MIL today and there just happens to be a church sale on a Monday which is like a giant jumble sale but everything is presented nicely all on rails etc. Woo hoo. Better still nearly everything is £1 or less. I have got some fab bargains from there in the past.
But you know how it goes sometimes there is loads of nice stuff and sometimes its rubbish so we will see what type of day it is today

I must tell myself Mavvymoo you dont need anything your wardrobes are stuffed with stuff and you need to get a grip girl:(

Lets see if it works :rotfl:
