    I have failed somewhat in my subtarget as I spent 9.99 today (£2 making up the bill after using a Sainsbury's Double Up coupon) and £7.99 on a pair of shoes. I don't often see ones I like for less than £10 (max I try to spend on a pair, so I thought why not.)

    Also bought a handbag (first in a year I think, which is a record for me.) Does a handbag count as clothes? Hmmm...

    A quarter of the year now gone and my total spend is £60 so far which I'm quite pleased with.


    I can't think of much that I need really so hoping I can remain within my budget;)

    Oh wow, it is isn't it. Goodness how did that happen, I can't believe we're 25% through the year already. :eek::eek:

    Have been so busy I really haven't spent / been clothes shopping apart from when in the US. I am going with DM next week though (afternoon off) to get some shoes and a hair thing for a wedding I'm going to...where I've been asked to do a reading too :eek: there was me hoping to blend into the background :rotfl:

    Morning all. Have just done the budgets for the month and as I have no spare money can declare now a no spend on clothes for April!
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Just popped on to say I have not spent any money on clothes this month.

    Spending for year is still £0.

    Well done - that's impressive !!

    It feels like I am still on something of a spending spree, considering I didn't spend anything until mid/late February.

    Another of my catalogues arrived today and like the last one, it didn't make the bin as I had to order from it for someone else. Unfortunately it was left on a page with a very nice £4.99 pair of shoes, which I had to have. £6.99 added to my spend (it felt cheeky not to pay a share of the delivery charge since I had decided I wanted something for myself.)

    Hopefully the last spend for a while.

    Hi Guys, i would like to join. I have looked at my spending for the last year and i spent over 1000 pounds on clothes. I have no idea what i can actually show for this.

    I would like to set my 2016 clothing budget at being 310 pounds.

    In January i spent nothing on clothes. In February i spent 29.12 and in March i spent 13 pounds on clothes.

    I would very much like to set myself the budget of 0, but with two weddings and with a hopeful change in body shape as a result of me losing weight, i know this isn't practical.

    I will post weekly.
