    So what kind of coaching are you doing? I have been strong and just come off the White Stuff website, there was a sale on and I was nearly tempted. To satisfy my need to spend, I have just ordered some bright eye pencils using my advantage points from Boots. No money spent so a cheap way of freshening up my look. Will also take up less space than clothes! Got a Monsoon dress on eBay with a bid on it, hardly worn and part of me didn't want to get rid but I haven't worn it in ages and taking up space.

    Some random - congrats on passing.

    Haven't posted for a while as RL real busy at the mo.

    Apart from the few it's s that were bought via a gift card, not touched the budget yet.
    Did a big load of washing today, socks are looking a bit worse for wear. Will see how long they last for before buying new ones.
    Have a good rest of the evening all.

    :j:j SOMERANDOM :j:j :T Well done on passing your coaching exam.

    CLAREY008 Well done you for walking away from the White Stuff sale. I saw a few things I liked but looked in a WS shop yesterday and wasn't that blown away when I saw them in the flesh.

    I did weaken and order off Fleabay a Masai top but I'm not counting it out of my budget as I've just sold some stuff so I'm thinking of it as 4 things out that I don't wear, one (hopefully) lovely thing in that I will wear.

    Have a good spring break everyone. :)

    Thanks Rowan Moon. I had a big tidy up (a lot of things were slung over a chair), now they are back in my wardrobe I have realised it is still full and I have no need of anything else.
    Happy Easter everyone x

    Hello

    I went out yesterday with the intention of buying one dress from Primark which was £10. Things didn't go according to plan. The dress wasn't available in my size but I spent £28 on 3 other dresses and a jumper. Then I went to another shopping centre and spent £104 in Cos and still didn't get the dress. So I spent another £132 out of my budget :eek:

    That only leaves me around £40 for the rest of the year, but I'm still determined to do it:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done to everyone who isn't as weak as me :D

    32b3in2013 - don't beat yourself up about your spends. Are you happy with everything and know that you will wear it? I am sure we have all spent that kind of money in the past without really loving or appreciating the items. Well I know I have and I would like to think that I am not the only one! ;)

    I went shopping yesterday with the children as I had promised them an Easter treat, and we had lunch out. Didn't look in any clothes shops at all, and we had a lovely day.

    In other break-up related news, the 45 year old ex who has a professional job turned up yesterday to collect the children sporting a love bite. Honestly you couldn't make it up. I didn't know whether to laugh or slap him for such immaturity. Just wanted to share it with you as I am still incredulous

    Thanks Vintagegal, I am happy with all the purchases, and I have been bored with my work wardrobe for ages, so everything I bought will make the working day not so boring :D

    Hi Clarey - I do a mixture of Leadership Coaching / Facilitating in Charities, Personal Coaching - confidence, career change, well-being (conscious eating) & anything that comes up really & I Coach Young Women around employability for a Charity. I love it all !!!

    Vintagegal - ewwww @ lovebite. Those things are embarrassing enough when you're a teenager :o:o:o . You have my sympathy & my admiration for your restraint xxxx

    Spent £20.00 on a pair of Fly Shoes - brand new - bought from a friend who bought them & didn't wear them. They cost her £50 originally - I really liked them at the time & considered buying a pair myself - glad I didn't now.
