    this is where i tend to cave in after doing so well and just end up saying fook it 20 quids worth of clothes won't hurt.

    have you got time to save £5 or something a week and get a few last minute bits from primark?

    you have my sympathy as i have cabin fever and its only been 2 days:D

    Saved up for my hoilday and everything is pay with plus spending money. :beer: Good for you! This is worth celebrating! you've got a lovely holiday to look forward to
    Was looking at my clothes and i got nothing nice or holiday looking. How about a clothes swapping party with friends?
    could do with going shopping for a few bits. :(

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Stuff em all queen, don't waste YOUR holiday worrying about what people think, how skinny everyone else is, how you look etc.... Keep watching Gok Wan's How to look good naked (He's my god!) for a self esteem boost and have a great time on holiday!
    You've worked hard to pay for it so make the most out of it.
