I would like to join in this year, for some reason that I cannot recall I did not last year.

First purchases of the year are 3 little cami tops and 1 mini waist slip for under knee length tunics, can someone guide me on the points used until I get my head around it again.

@PipneyJane sorry to read of your diagnosis, but pleased that you now know what is happening, it's awful feeling poorly and not having the answers, will be rooting for you with everyone else.

@maddiemay a petticoat is 4 coupons, but I think that would be a full length one. 'Other undergarments' are 3 coupons so I think the half slip and the camis would be three each?

Morning All, few spends to declare: 
Myself - leggings - 2 points
OH - 2 bobble hats (coupon free). Jogging bottoms - 8 Hoodie 5 or 8?
DD - shorts - 5, short playsuit - 5 (as similar to a short dress), waterproof trousers - 2

I'm not sure if I have the correct coupon values, I looked online and noted children's were different to adults and had extra due to growing? Would appreciate someone clarifying. 

We all have wardrobes full of clothes and really don't need anything. Maybe need to shop from our wardrobes first and I need to declutter a few pounds so clothes fit better.

@PipneyJane thinking of you and wishing a speedy recovery and that journey is not too bumpy with feeling naff. Look after yourself and take care. Love the practical advise from @thriftwizard.

So, I'm 5 coupons down already - I like my barefoot boots so much, I've invested in a pair of trainers to match! I'm not sure I'll ever wear any other shoes on an everyday basis... so comfortable! I have some slightly startled muscles, but not painful; I go barefoot a lot in summer, & around the house generally, & we always dance barefoot, but after wandering around town & the supermarket, then home carrying lots of fruit & veg, I can feel that my spine is straighter and my feet don't feel tired & slightly cramped like they usually do. I'll try a 3-miler in them once the riverside paths have dried out a bit, but so far, so excellent!

Checking in to report 5 coupons used for a pack of 5 Nordic patterned socks.  So with my 6 carried over, that's me down to 67 from 72.

I'm pleased they finally got to the bottom of your illness, PipneyJayne, but not so happy with the diagnosis.  I hope the treatment starts soon, and all goes well.  Take care.
