Im am glad Kerri that you approve of the feather and down jacket
It is really lovely and I am sure I will be so snug and warm in the winter 
Sam do tell what you are planning to buy sounds like you have really thought about it which is always a plan.
Went out yesterday to a couple of chazzers tried on a lovely Hobbs top but the neck was a bit low so I talked myself out of it and put it back on the rail even if it was only £2.95 I dont really need it
I do not need to buy any clothes and must keep telling myself that

I spent £8 on uniform yesterday. I wasn't Meant to be looking but I got a pair of Topshop jeans for 10.00 instead of 40. I've very pleased (even though I didn't need them). Just one more thing for school uniform to get for now anyway.0

Hi, I've been without Internet access and forgot all about this challenge, and I'm pretty sure I blew the budget ages ago, so is there a very big naughty step I can perch on?
I'm going to try and start again with a little £50 limit on clothes until Christmas challenge, baby steps and all that wish me luck!0 -
I had a lovely cardigan arrive from China, sent free to review, also something that was originally being sold as a mini dress. They changed the description, if you had worn it as a dress you would have been done for indecency, unless you are extremely short. Lovely to have brand new things and an intact balance!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0

Remaining budget £202.510 -
£8.00 spent in the CS on a lovely lined velvet dress for Autumn. It's from Redoute but looks vintage & its the sort of dress you can dress up or down so I should get lots of wear out of it.
Went to visit a friend yesterday - she's got chronic health problem & I help her out with some practical things that she can't manage. As unexpected thank you for the bits and bobs I do for her she gave me some absolutely beautiful dark purple leather (blackberry) knee length boots that she no longer wears. So kind
.
I feel a little bit less discontented with the weather now I've got those to wear :rotfl:Shifting my energy for 2020
