    kerri I got that email at 5pm yesterday and by 5.05pm I had checked out with 3 pairs :D I was really quick or I knew they would sell out within minutes. £19.99 a pair what a bargain :D

    Haha! I resisted, mostly because we've just moved and I need to adjust to a new budget (read less disposable income) and also as I got these while I was in the US

    My gymwear box is now full ...so either I need to rearrange my clothes or stop buying new stuff....or both :D

    Which ones did you bag to make me envious of?

    Just realised I have missed loads of posts, don't seem to be getting the notification emails any more!

    Some serious bargains being found out there!

    I haven't been great, need to see what I'm keeping before I add anything to my total. There was an amazing sale at Lindy bop... And I've got to go away for work which always makes me feel I need something new, for a confidence boost.

    But they didn't come in time anyway!

    The sales are always a time of extreme weakness for me. And I never seem to think of saving the money, I just buy twice as much. I think I am feeling a bit down at the moment as well. Need to stop the spending now though.

    Also need to start eating properly and looking after myself, then I might look better in my clothes and not feel the shopping urge. And logging onto this site every day might help

    £10 on a pair of trainers from Peacocks. Needed something a bit more waterproof as I had been wearing a lot of ballet/slip on shoes.

    Hi All - not been on for a while.

    I've bought a pair of black skinny jeans. Didn't know whether they would suit me so bought a cheap & cheerful pair from Sports Direct. They are nothing special but look good with the tunic tops and make a lot of my clothes more wearable. £12.99 to add to total. Half way through the year and I've spent over 2/3 of my budget.

    Have de-cluttered a lot of clothes since I've been back from holiday - must be around 50 items :)

    Hi All
    Tikiboo leggings came they are so nice really impressed with these at £19.99 in the sale.
    Havent added them to my total as have sold so much Im still quids in .But will start adding anything purchased from now on.

    I am trying not to buy and being surrounded with clothes for the sales is really helping its like working in a sweet shop and not eating sweets as you are fed up looking at them.:rotfl:I did buy a lovely Tunic top (I think Wallis) for £2.50 at the boot sale and a new merino wool cardi for £1 :D So thats my spends done ;)

    Have just sorted the hall out for Saturday and there is sooooo much stuff about 750 items + so hope to have a good morning with it and sell a bit :D

    Wish I could come mavvymoo but its my sons birthday party tomorrow!

    Maybe the 'sweet shop' thing is the answer - I'll get a weekend job at a store I like and hopefully that will cure me :)

    I doubt it though! But at least I'd get a discount on what I bought.

    Danger zone coming up this week - charity sale at work where everything is cheap... on the plus side, most things are sample size which I am not! Will try to only get things for other people.

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
