    Talking of weddings... I have my MIL funeral soon. She was a wonderful MIL, welcomed me into the family with open arms. I am going to have to think about what I am going to wear. Hummm! Do I want to buy something? Or Can I find something in my wardrobe?

    We also have a family wedding in August. I have several outfits I could wear so hopefully that will pass without significant expense.

    GemGem - Sorry for your loss & I hope that you find something in your wardrobe that will work. Is there anything she used to particularly like you in that you could incorporate into your outfit?

    MrsShazbat - Sounds like a successful shopping trip. Dresses are my "kryptonite" too! I love them :)

    Well done to all the non spenders :T & a "good on yer" to the rest of us who are - at the very least, being more conscious about our spending. :T

    Yes she was a lovely lady. She was 94 and reminded me of my own nanny.

    Still no spend for me this year. I am also avoiding all shops and online sites. I have a very big hair dressing bill this month as I buy my straightening product upfront. It saves me a fortune buying it myself but costs me £170 every 18 months. Also my straighteners broke and I had to replace then at a cost of £111 incl p&p.

    Hi all.

    I haven't bought anything since my work clothes splurge. I'm quite happy with everything I have at the moment, hopefully I will feel the same when the weather finally improves.
