    Morning

    I think this shoes are meant to be yours Mav, despite your best efforts to ignore them :D. Is your top Canada goose by any chance? Those, and moncler are really expensive. I have had many conversations with my nephew about the pros and cons of buying a moncler jacket. He eventually ignored me and bought one anyway :eek:

    So today I have decided that I need a new pair of Skechers. I have arranged with my friends to go to an outlet next weekend, so I have a week to change my mind!! I'm not sure if I decided that shoes would be included in this challenge, but I will take the money from my CCC bank account so it looks like shoes will be included. The last time I went to the outlet there was a really nice zip up hoodie in Nike, but it was still £79.:( I better not go in Nike then, I could send my friends in to see if it is reduced any more :D

    Another no spend week for me

    Congratulations on the contract Dolly, it's nice to see people having good news.

    Due to my sw weight loss I went to Debenhams today & had a bra fitting didn't want to pay around £30 per new bra while I'm still losing weight so I was cheeky & bought 4 for £18 from Primark instead. Felt a bit guilty about doing that, but I so needed some advice on sizing and can't afford to splash out when (hopefully) I won't be wearing them for long.

    £21.60 / £300

    Well done on the contract Dolly fab news, and sounds like the spends were definitely essentials.

    I am now thinking of heading into Bravissimo to be measured just to see what I am now - last time I got measured was in Canada (thankfully the sizes are the same there and here) got a lovely non wired bra which I tried in black - bought a nude colour one and the flipping thing curls under on one side making it uber uncomfortable. Actually I must dig it out and see if there's anything I can do with it.

    Well i have a spend to confess, I need some new slippers as I think I might have mentioned but end up nipping out to the bin in them etc etc so decided I'd try out some cheap 'ugg' boot style boots instead. So I ordered a pair of these today to see if they will be suitable

    Hi everyone.Good idea kerri if you nip into Bravissimo make an appointment before hand as its much better than having to wait (which can be ages for a fitting)
    I have those type of boot style for slippers and live in them :D

    32b3in2013 No mine is a Punky Fish one but its a retro style and they only made 50 in 4 colours Black,White,Pink and Blue. How one of the 50 made it from Cananda into my local Chazzer who knows. Which is why they must be so expensive. These ones have a tiny tag on the side which mine has got but I never noticed it before.

    Well done on the weight loss coppers. :T

    I am still trying to avoid the shoes ;) and keeping my eyes shut everytime they appear in one of my 'lists'

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice

    Thanks for the kind words about the job and the clothes spends. All my ebay buys are posted so fingers crossed that they will all be suitable.

    I'm typing on a kindle, and if you don't watch or 're-read, it can write what It likes! Sometime it's quite rude!!:eek:
