Haven't bought a pair of shoes for over 10 years, and as for haircuts thanks for pointing out to me the advantage of being bald:o :rotfl:

Hee hee . Are you my boss?? :rotfl:

Shoes, I think one pair £45 they are still in the box but they are nice and I will wear them so not Ebaying them, not worth it.

Boots however .....

I've probably spent about £20 on my hair this year.
Cut it myself.. and self dye... god I'm cheap.. :rotfl:

Would love a decent haircut/colour job though...

oh and I've bought 2 pairs of shoes... one because they were £5 and what I'd been after all summer...(found them in september.. typical) and a pair of trainers for £15 because my old ones were literally wearing away and giving my blisters as all the padding on the heel had gone!

shoes/boots.... :eek:

Ummmmm about £152 I think

2 pairs boots, 1 pair summery flat shoes, 2 pairs of my beloved comfy hush puppies (which I wear to death :rotfl: but are not cheap ~£42 a pop but I live in them at work) and a pair of shiny dressy shoes I bought as I loved them but haven't had an excuse to wear yet

5 out of 6 pairs still wearable, 1 pair absolutely trashed from wearing so much!!

really don't want to add up my hairdressers costs... :eek: :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mind you I now have shoes, clothes and hairdressing as outgoings in part of my budget (albeit very much reduced!!)

Here goes....

hair cuts = £160 (just cuts, no colour). eek.

Oh my. All the times I tell myself I'm being a good moneysaver by not buying snacks, magazines, coffees........

I knew the haircuts where quite a bit but to quote OliveOyl, "I do look gorgeous" . It's the shoes that has really shocked me. I had absolutely no idea I had bought that many and spent that much. £8 here, £10 there isn't much at the time but when you look back over the whole year, yikes.

Anymore for anymore? What's your vice? Or maybe it's something you don't even realise was costing you so much?

looking at wardrobe and I reckon i have bought 3 pairs of shoes this year totalling £28! which i dont think is too bad.

However, my vice is food - what a waste. Throw so much out all the time. I darent think how much wasted but must be in the hundreds anyway.

Only 10 pairs of shoes in a year twi1ight! My OH would love it if i only bought 10 pairs in 1 year!!i have been known to buy 3 pairs in one day!! Although i haven't bought any for bout 8 weeks (record for me) but my last pair were £120 ( I justified this as they were a good pair of winter boots!!) on the up side none of them have been paid for on credit:A
