    Ermmm, how many coupons for an oodie, please? I've bought one for our younger daughter for Christmas.
    2025 Fashion on the ration
    150g sock yarn = 3 coupons
    Lined trousers = 6 coupons ...total 9/66 used
    2 t-shirts = 8 coupons
    Trousers = 6 coupons ... total 23/66
    2 cardigans = 10 coupons
    Sandals = 5 coupons ... total 38/66
    Nightie = 6 coupons
    Sandals = 5 coupons ... total 49/66
  • @Mrs CD, I guessed at 10 coupons for the oodie I got but I am not sure if that is correct, and mine was for the adult size so I might have to change it
    Take care everyone

    Thanks @Liverpool_Anne I'll count it as 10 for now, unless we hear otherwise!

    Some more coupons to declare - 1 dress, 1 jumper and a pair of stretch leggings (Kate's clothing had 30% off).

    I wasn't sure about the coupons for leggings - I've gone with twice that for stockings so 4 coupons. If that's wrong, I'll be happy to correct
    @Wraithlady, I’ve always treated leggings as foot-less tights and 2 coupons each.

    @MrsCD, isn’t an oodie just an elaborate dressing gown? I took a look at the source photo from page 1 and a Man’s dressing gown is 8 coupons, a boy’s 6 - women’s aren’t listed - so treat your daughter’s as a boy’s dressing gown.

    @Liverpool_Anne, as I said to Mrs CD, treat it as a man-sized or boy-sized dressing gown.

    Apologies for being AWOL.  It’s due to a combination of month end - thank god that’s over - and having my choir’s Carol Concert on Saturday night.   I am so looking forward to the Christmas break.

    ETA, here’s another shot of the original clothing coupon notice:


    "Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap. She's up.'

    It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it - that’s what gets results!

    2025 Fashion on the Ration Challenge 66 coupons - 25.5 spent.

    4 - Thermal Socks from L!dl
    4 - 1 pair "combinations" (Merino wool thermal top & leggings)
    6 - Ukraine Forever Tartan Ruana wrap
    8 - 4 x 100g/450m skeins 3-ply dark green Wool Local yarn
    1.5 - sports bra
    2 - 100g/220m DK Toft yarn

    I’d say it’s a Siren Suit for keeping warm in the air raid shelter.  You see advertisements for them in old magazines, does it say anywhere what the coupons were?
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!
