:T


Hi All....:)


Sorry to hear Rowan Moon ...:kisses3:

Mavymoo:D your just attracting those bargains as usual

Strange isnt it I know loads of people who hate Next jeans as they never fit them.
But they always fit me better than any others I have tried.
I dont really have any hips so maybe thats why. :rotfl:
Not sure about that statment Kerri I would like to think so but would be kidding myself me thinks

I do seem to attract good bargains but am trying to keep my eyes shut as have just invested in all new wooden coat hangers and I do not have even one spare :rotfl:So if I buy anymore clothes will have to get rid of something off the rail. That will teach me for being so precise to not buy even 1 over :rotfl:Had this challenge in the back of my mind along with Marie Kondo

I love the wooden hanger idea ...to keep on top of the clothes

I would like to join this challenge please No idea how much I normally spend on clothes but haven't bought any yet this month so will estimate £100 )

Also going to declutter my wardrobe and sell what I don't wear. It's something I've thought about but haven't put into action yet.

I do have to visit Primark to exchange some PJs today though -- bought them only to discover I had the same ones at home :eek: In my defence, they were the HP ones which I'm addicted to, and they were the last ones in my size, so better safe than sorry But anyway, my point is that I never come out of Primark without spending a fortune... and today is payday, oh no _pale_

Miami welcome to the thread :j

No spends to report here. Mum's still in hospital and they have now decided after an MRI scan than she's fractured bones in both lower legs so she has casts on both legs. Looks like she will be there a while. Been busy with work and visiting so the upside is that I've had no time for spending.

I did buy a big bag of wooden hangers a couple of weeks ago - they were outside the chazza shop as I hurried past so went back and got them. Bargain at £3 for 20. Did a quick wardrobe sort and got rid of a load of tatty hangers.

I've got 6 things ending on Ebay tomorrow (only 2 with bids so far) so hopefully clear a few more 'not quite right for me' clothes out.

My good news - I had a premium bond win of £25 but resisting buying clothes as I'm putting it towards an electric toothbrush.

Fab buy on the hanger Rowans moon sorry to hear your mum is now plastered on both legs, saying that they could do that to a few of us to keep us out the shops.

Miami welcome from me too :j

No spends either to report here


Rowan Moon my eyes are green with envy at the hanger bargain..

mavvymoo

Rowan Moon at least hopefully your Mum will start to recover.and great buy with the hangers I had to buy a 120 :eek::eek: But that was also for DHs wardrobe as well. So not too bad on my part

Welcome to the newbies and good luck

I got a couple of fab bargains today
A lovely Grey Hobbs short fitted jacket (dread to think how much it was new) It is cut so well and looks really classy on for the bargain price of £3 :eek:

And wait for it Kerri a new Shock absorber sports bra for £1.50 :eek:Had to dig down to the bottom of a box to find it and there it was just waiting for me !

I was so happy as I just had to chuck one out as it really had seen better days and as they are £33 each it was so exciting to find it.


I know I am not supposed to be buying any clothes but how can you let those two go

Thank you for the welcomes

I have far too many hangers, in fact more than I need. Someone on FB was giving them away for free so I kindly relieved her of her clutter They are plastic though, not wooden, but that's easier for me as the plastic ones are thinner so I can squeeze more clothes into the wardrobe :rotfl:

I have a giant box of unused ones so I will try to have all my clothes decluttered by June and then maybe sell the hangers I don't need

From your experiences, would you recommend FB or car boot sales to shift unwanted clothes quickly? I don't have any designer pieces, mostly Primarni and other high street brands, and am not a fan of selling on Fleabay.

Those are great bargains, Mav, well done! And good on you for replacing your old bra with the new one instead of keeping both

No spend so far this month. Going for 4 months out of 6.
