No time for clothes shopping ATM so no spends for me this weekend (on clothes at any rate, DIY stuff is a different matter)

Now up to £400 sales on The Bay :eek: So have spent £4 on a new Nike hoody from a chazzer and a pair of leggings from E*ay for £9.99 (will see what they are like I am hoping they are not the carpy see though ones if they are I will return them

So wont add them as I am now on a minus figure for my spends which is unheard of :rotfl:
Will leave my total as it is and keep on selling as I still have more which can go

Everyone is still doing well.Vintagegal a good purchase with the raincoat as think we will need one rather than the summer dresses at this rate !

Picking up around 150 items of clothing today :eek: So reckon that will keep me busy so doubt if I will be spending

Went clothes shopping on Sunday, you can look at it as being either a good day or a bad day.

I bought two green tops in Tenovus charity shop-one a sheer moss green dotty blouse (3 quid) and the other a nice dark green top from M&S (3 Quid again).

Then I went to Peacocks and bought 4 bras for 4 quid each, and two sets of 4 pants (5 quid each), total 26 quid.

The truth is although i desperately needed new under garments and the tops are a nice addition to a wardrobe, i shouldn't have bought any of them as i am using money i should be careful with whilst i am between contracts.

32 pounds for 4 bras, 2 tops and 8 pairs of pants is a good spend in theory, but it's 32 quid i should have been a bit more careful with.

That will be it for the spending this month.

Hi All, back from holiday - had a wonderful week of sun & lazing around. I really enjoyed the de-cluttering book I read & in spite of the fact that I have been sleep deprived today due to unholy flight time I have gone into a little de-cluttering whirlwind (mostly "stuff" rather than clothes).

Ermmmmmm & I ordered some Fly sandals off Ebay - They were exactly what I was looking for and a third of the RRP - I can't honestly say I needed them - just wanted them really - they will be my only pair of sandals that are not flat & they will make a number of outfits look a lot more "dressy" (& me look 3" taller ) - enough of the justifications - £35 to add to total.

I had to nip to the postoffice this morning.And popped in to the bootsale as I was passing.
first stall I got to a pair of Dublin leather riding boots in my size Retail at £150 :eek: asked how much and the man said £4 or make me an offer ? So I chucked my £4 at him and came home very happy with my new winter boots

Another fab buy for me.Also picked up a Phase eight maxi dress really nice for £2.50 will stick that on Eb*y later on It should pay for my boots and a bit more :rotfl:

Mavvymoo you continue to amaze me! How do you find these things so easily? Can you also post here if you go to a charity shop and DON'T find something ??!!

Much rain forecast over the next week so hoping to wear my new raincoat. I carried it round London on Saturday! So typical.

Going to try not to buy anything for the next four weeks. Its my birthday in July so if I get anything to wear for that I don't need to count it do I? I know I am dangerously close to my annual budget after only 5 months but it is still focussing me to be part of this group and at least I will know what I actually spent at the end, whereas I would have had no clue before.

I wish I could find some good charity bargains, because on what I spend per item, my budget doesnt go very far!

After reading Florence Js post about the underwear, I was hanging the washing on the line, and I did wonder if it was the state of my pants that made my ex leave! Anyway noone is seeing them at the moment so I shall not bother to replace them! :rotfl:

:rotfl: Just to make it clear, my underwear wasn't awful, just could have done with replacing :rotfl:

Vintagegal Yes I do go in to Charity shops and dont buy. I am now very very picky and will only buy either things I love and will wear. Or for selling but I reasearch my market and will never buy anything that wont sell quickly and for less than about £15/20 profit

I hate to say this but I did pick up a really stunning 2 piece jacket and top that goes under the jacket in a charity shop it truly is lovely and made by none other than Pret a Porter for a very good price of £4 ;)Which fits me really well and I will keep for a wedding in a few months time

Also in the bags I picked up on Monday for the sale was 4 dresses by Masai when I saw the name I remembered Rowanmoon had posted the name before on one of her E*ay buys (I think) So checked them out and yes these dresses are all about £80 ish new :rotfl:So will have to decide what to do with them.

At the bootsale I also got an LK Bennett sheer blouse,Phase eight top, Whistles top and a Hobbs top all for 25p each :rotfl:Will add these to the charity sale so I can photograph them for the ad along with other items so someone will be getting some fab bargains but not quite as good as me


So all get your Holiday booked for North Norfolk and I will take you around my best haunts on our roadtrip :T

Oh no Florence and Vintagegal, you've just made me take a close look at my undies. Some have seen better days

Mavvy, I love Masai clothes. If you show me your finds I might be tempted to buy them :cool:

The only thing I have to report is a lovely pair of Clarks shoes - flat ballet pumps in a deep turquose colour, £16 including postage from Ebay.

I have made a decision to NEVER feel guilty about buying anything. A bit like eating chocolate or cake, I am going to make the decision to have it or not have it. If I decide to have it, then I will enjoy it with gratitude. Have a great weekend all of you :j
