kerri I cant see your legging selection from here But if yours are anything like mine you most likely need them as much as a hole in the head :rotfl:Just sayin'
A couple of days left of the month god how good is that I will be so happy once Feb arrives

Stay strong everyone keep those items in your basket and leave them there :rotfl:

Hello

Thank you for all the hugs! Certainly needing them at the moment..

Ransacked M&S sale rail yesterday when I only popped in for grapes and crumpets - afraid to say I spent £15.99 on a dress (reduced from £59) and £13.99 on some shoes (also reduced from £59).

Going to return the first shoe order tomorrow and the other one hasnt come yet.

It was interesting to think about the £30 I spent yesterday, previously I would have thought nothing of it at all, but yesterday I had to think THIS IS 60% OF YOUR ENTIRE MONTHLY BUDGET!! I think I got good value for money though? Although maybe I am missing the point because the truth is that I didnt NEED either item..

Comfort buying is not the answer is it!!

Have a good day!

Vintagegal - sorry to hear about your break up, I hope you settle into a new routine soon.

I still haven't succumbed to the lure of the doc's but it is killing me I will admit.

Vintagegirl Hugs from me too (been there & vividly remember how awful it felt - it does get better. ) Take Care

32b3 I love what you are doing re: your too big jeans sending out positive ripples into the world.

I've not spent on clothes since my last post. I have however bought a stunning Jaeger bib necklace in the sale (£30 reduced from £99) using birthday money - it completely transforms loads of my dresses & tops so I am super-pleased with the purchase. I'm not counting it towards my target as its not clothing ( jewellery buying is not really an issue for me ) - if it starts to be I may need to think again

Put on a top today that I had bought in the summer and haven't worn yet. Don't know why I hadn't?? But felt good to wear something new and No Spend month is still intact. (I only have a couple of items in my wardrobe that I haven't worn before. I will slim down to them so they fit better).

Creeping to the end of the Month Just the weekend to get though and then we are there

Still no clothes purchased But to be fair have avoided any kind of shop :rotfl:That for me is the way forward I think.

Have remembered DH got a £100 JL voucher for Christmas (which is in my purse ) Think he has forgotten about it

So keep thinking what can I buy with it ? But I do want things but dont need them so will see if I can leave it alone for a while :rotfl:

Keep your eyes and purses shut this weekend and we have done our first month

Hello all. I went shopping with DH earlier in the week and bought underwear which satisfied my need to have something new but doesn't get included in this challenge as I don't include underwear.

So I think its safe to say January will be no spend on other clothes for me.

No spend here, still mulling over the leggings from Sammy I like but will hold off now until Feb at any rate. Don't really need them and we're supposed to be saving but OH is going out to watch the football tomorrow and will spend more than that so why should I miss out?

Not for me so not counting it but had to share my bargain I got today. 2 pairs of shoes from a well known shoe shop for my 15 month old son, one a half size bigger than the other. £18 for both instead of £56! Delighted especially since he's grown a full size in a month.

Hello
Took two bags to the charity shop today. Thought I'd have a look round but the only thing I liked was the pair of Reiss shoes that I donated last time!
I didn't buy them ��
I suspect this charity shopping malarkey takes some persistence
