    So June was a no-spend month for me :)

    How's every one else doing - haven't seen many posts recently - is that because we've all been virtuous? :A:A:A

    Yep I'll second the no spend June - at least from the clothes point of view. I'm even on a mission to make my sandals last another year.

    June was a no spend month for me too! :D Going for a no spend July :p. I've decided I've got plenty of clothes and a good old mix n match and maybe a few swaps is more than enough to see me through :);)

    All the best for July everyone :);)

    I think June as a no spend for me too, bought a top and a playsuit in May ...saw a girl in the same playsuit, evidently it looks better if you have more 'up front' to fill it :rotfl: but will be fine for hot summer nights with a couple of adjustments.

    July will unlikely to be a no spend as I desperately need new running trainers, mine now feel a bit like running in old school black plimsoles and, Touch wood, as my injuries seem to be receding, I need new ones before I pick up something else.

    Well done those of you who spent nothing in June. I spent lots and have exceeded my budget for the year so will be stepping out of the challenge part of this now. I keep telling myself I am worth it and it's been lovely to wear new clothes at the paid stuff this week.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    My clothing spends still stand at 38p for the year, but then I am doing a No Spend Year.

    Sent one of the tops back as it was faulty. Resisting ordering another as it was a bit disappointing for the money.
