    I deff need some new running trainers, have had mine nearly two years and trained / ran three half marathons in them, tonight found that the sole of one is starting to come away from the fabric part which isn't a good sign. Prob done 400 - 450 miles in them now so I guess it's time.

    Hello all, I haven't posted for ages, sorry. Unlike some others my lack of activity isn't an indication of avoiding the shops as I've spent quite a chunk of my budget and its only May...oops!
    Since my last post I've splurged on a work dress and two pairs of trousers. As they've all already been worn quite a few times, I can justify their purchase, plus they were all discounted.
    One thing I am happy about is that the work dress is machine washable, as I often buy dry clean only incurring extra cost. I remembered to check the label before buying this time - a small win me thinks...

    Picked up a lovely green cardi from CS - John Lewis brand new. £3.50. I'm still very short on cardis due to the great moth feast earlier this year.

    Help! After spending an evening wriggling uncomfortably in my strapless bra, I need to find one that is vaguely comfortable to wear. Any recommendations from you lovely lot?

    My total spends this year still stand at 38p. Tomorrow I am going to a swishing party and hoping for some good finds. I may be optimistic and choose clothes that I hope I lose the weight to fit into so that If I do lose weight I don't have to buy a brand new wardrobe and ruin my no spend year.

    I can dream.

    Thanks somerandom I did look at that one, my main issue is the bones digging in under my boobs and that looked more like it wouldn't. I don't have significant 'assets' to keep in place (trust me, I did contemplate removing my bra entirely on the night out) but don't feel entirely comfortable wearing nothing.
