Only three things left to sell on fleabay

Moneyonmymindsam Nice to see you are doing well.
I for one need to pick your brains on the capsule.How and where do you start ? What items would you pick to work round? I need to know this As I really want to go down this route as I have really decluttered but still have a bit of a mish mash I feel :rotfl:
What I am trying to say is I havent got a clue as where to start
So where did you start ? Or anyone who has gone down this route can you give me some ideas please x Thank you

Oh browsing E*ay last night as you do Got what I think will be a really useful Hobbs Black dress for £8.50 So we will see when it arrives if I still think so !

So will add that to my total.Since this challenge I am thinking much more about what I am buying and where it will work for me.

So thank you Fedup for running this one helped me no end

Hi everyone,
Had been catching up on people's spends and people's sells. I'm always fascinated by what bargains people find.
Still only on £4 spend for the year. My money is going on the house at the moment. Have had decorators, builders, plumbers etc in for the past two months. They will be back on the autumn to finish the downstairs off.
Well done to all the no spenders.

Whoops, so I popped into primarni to take a top back yesterday and came out with three more, one is just a vest top but I really like the colour, and one of the other two will also go back. Hopefully without me coming out with anything else.

My mum is going to try the Hobbs shirt I got so it might even be moving home.

Oh, and returned two sports tops to tkmaxx, one was a bit small and the other fitted, but if the first had been available in my size I'd hsve chosen that out of the two..so they both went back.

Must sort through my clothes and rearrange a bit, my jumper draw seems to be a big overfull whilst my tops draw seems to have quite a bit of space.

Still no spends here, but I think that may change as it's my birthday this week. That £200 for the year largely untouched so far.
I have a disability and someone asked me how I handled clothes shopping trips... My response was "Have you SEEN my wardrobes?" I don't need anything. Want, perhaps, but not need. Most of the clothes acquired 3-4 years ago, when I was more mobile.

I have a purchase to report - lovely jade coloured white stuff dress from cs for £7. Only problem is it is a bit stretchy and shows my Buddha belly I love the dress, so a bit of incentive to trim down a bit.

Mcculloch29 welcome and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK :beer:

Went to Bluewater with a friend and spent my Fat Face voucher that I got at Christmas. Bought a thick wooly jumper in the sale. Had to put £10 towards it. Also went to white Stuff as they have a 20% off two day event. Bought a white blouse. Down to £23.00
Year-to-date:
£33.00 spent + £4.00 previous spend = £37.00 in total

So the Hobbs skirt was a no no for my mum. The Primarni vest got worn on holiday with her, and one of the tops I wasn't sure about, so that's a keeper, meaning the other one will be going back.

Must try and be good now with spends.

I haven't spent anything more but went to a party yesterday. Until I opened my wardrobe after my shower, I had no idea what I was going to wear. I'd toyed with a few ideas during the week but hadn't come to a decision. In the end I wore a floaty maxi-dress that DD had given me and a matching cropped cardi from the CS. I have lots of handbags so found the matching shade, a comfy pair of shoes (hidden by the dress but ok anyway) and away I went. I got complimented on the outfit. I think this could become my dressing up outfit for this summer. So smiley Jazee here.
