Impressed with your £1.80 tops, did you buy anything this weekend?

Better go as got a food shop coming plus the children are due back soon :j but I have to see him :mad:

Open the door and focus on looking at your beautiful kids - think of him as just a vessel to return them to you.

We were suit shopping for OH and didn't actually make it near Primark so no spends for me. :A

Here you all are - I couldn't find our thread on the forum board.

I have to confess a little spend. £5 on a lovely navy Hobbs jacket from the chazza shop. Would have been rude not to. Also just got a couple of Ebay things - long purple skirt by Sandwich and lilac cardi by Mistral. £10 for both including postage but not counting towards my spends because I have sold a few things, so just spending the money I have made.

I've been shopping in the suitcase under the stairs today to get all my summer clothes out. Optimistic, I know, but it is almost May.

I would like to join please, feeling determined to get this clothes mountain under control. Can you put me down for £300 for the rest of the year. I blew the budget last year, but had some revelations on how and why I spend. The £300 has to cover everything including underwear and shoes.

I put all my winter stuff away on Sunday. On Monday we had blooming snow :eek:

Sorting everything out made me realise I have some gaps in my wardrobe - things that don't really have anything to go with. I need to get focused now on how to buy a few things that will make everything wearable (or decide I don't wear them because they aren't 'me' and release them into the wild)
:cool:

Welcome all newcomers!

We had a light smattering of snow yesterday....What is going on with the weather?

Anyhow - nothing spent since the last spend on socks - i do know how to live!

Yesterday, lunchtime on the way to the bank, walking past all those shops - was tempted, but really don't need anything per se, just was in the mood for a big splash out on clothes. I held strong - but how long for - that is the question...

Have a good rest of the day all!

£3.00 on a pair of brand new slippers from CS. I'd prematurely thrown away my old furry slipper boots because I foolishly thought winter was over...

Hi All and welcome to the new Crazy Clothes wannabes

I am on the slippery slope big time
Ordered 5 more T-shirts and they have been delivered so £20 to add and then a few Chazzer buys.
2 x Dresses (linen) and a linen skirt all for £9 so a bargain But did I need them 'NO' is the answer to that. Will I wear them yes when it stops bl**dy snowing and hailing at anytime soon .

I am going to look into this project 33 clothes thingy, as I need help as I think I am an addict of the biggest order


Well done to everyone else

So I have got nearly to the end of April and am astounded that I am really sticking to the challenge. £12.58 spent on thermal socks as old pairs had to be thrown so £19.58 spent this year in total. Last night a friend was raising funds and promoting her business and selling T-Shirts. I looked, they were inexpensive enough but I actually said "no I will opt out". This was huge for me. I actually feel guilty! I am blessing it as an opportunity to look at my people pleasing needs. What swung it for me was that it would actually be around 10% of my budget for the year spent on something I would most likely only wear whilst riding or around house - and - I'm trying to wear out old clothes that don't 'spark joy' doing that for now! And 10% - that just seemed way too much money :rotfl: Never have I thought like this before.
