    #6 checking in. Spent £43.80 but it was much needed due to weight loss. All but one of the items I bought were in the sale so not so bad. Lol. :)

    Hello can i join please. I have a disgusting amount of clothes yet still I buy more. I'm aiming for the very ambitious target of essentials only ( in reality I don't think I will need to get anything but I do seem to get through socks like crazy) I realise we are half way through the year but it's a start :)

    Please can I join too. I've gone a bit crazy recently buying clothes for this lovely weather we've been having lately. I think all I need are some black bikini bottoms but setting a budget of £0 seems really strict, so let's go for £25 but I don't have to use it all!

    I do have several pairs of jeans I need to alter and have plenty of fabric to sew my own clothes so I might still be able to expand my wardrobe without spending any money.

    Time to update. On the downside I have made some spends- £40 on vest tops on offer.
    Positives are that everything else has been made. I!!!8217;ve lost count but about 4 tops/ tunics and2 dresses made from scratch. Several tops refashioned from ones I owned already and I!!!8217;m in the process of turning some worn out jeans into skirts.

    Hi all,

    Time to update, i haven't been posting much but i have kept track of clothes spending.

    Total spend to date £284 / £400

    I've spend more than I would have like at this point in the year and I'm going to have to be really determined not to buy going forward and I just love autumn clothes....still I only actually need a pair of winter boots, winter tights (opaque type for work) and maybe a new lightweight cardigan for work.

    Hi, I'm just joining the debt free wannabe club and this is something I would like to get involved in. I'm forever buying clothes on my credit card that I don't actually need so I'm putting a ban on buying any new clothes for the rest of the year and if it's something I desperately need, I need to find it in a charity shop using my bank card (strictly no more credit!) or I need to sell some things to fund it.
