For the third year running I'm taking part in A Buyer's Archive inspired by Elise, to keep track of my spending on clothes and accessories. This crept up on me, I can not believe we're about to enter the second month of the year! I purchased a few things this month and - spreadsheet nerds will like this - I added a column...
It was my wish at the beginning of the year to avoid that Sunday night feeling of a weekend wasted. My goal was to have a plan in place for the coming weekend by each Friday evening. This weekend my plan went out the window by 8am on Saturday morning but I still had a great weekend, so mission accomplished. I started Saturday...
It was my wish at the beginning of the year to avoid that Sunday night feeling of a weekend wasted. My goal was to have a plan in place for the coming weekend by each Friday evening. My plans weren't very exciting this weekend, I just wanted to get as much ticked off my to-do list as I could, and spend some time...
OK, so the title of this post might be a little bit of an huge exaggeration. My efforts alone will not save the earth, but I am a great believer in lots of little acts making a difference, so I'm trying to do my bit. I made a few positive changes last year, albeit small ones, that are all very easy to stick...
It was my wish at the beginning of the year to avoid that Sunday night feeling of a weekend wasted. My goal was to have a plan in place for the coming weekend by each Friday evening. Talk about falling at the first second hurdle. I did very little this weekend. I was feeling really unwell and spent most of my time either...
Whilst I am utterly useless at writing book reviews I wanted to share all of the books I read in 2017. The above montage is what I read each month. I read just 17 books the year before and so I made more time to read last year. I racked up 46, and read everything that was on my bookshelves at the beginning...
It's that time of year when I look back and conjure up some percentages relating to this year's clothing purchases. In a previous post I shared every item I purchased in 2017, this is the annual breakdown. Overall I spent £663.03, which is over my £600 budget but it's still eighty quid less than last year, and my lowest spend since I started...
It was my wish at the beginning of the year to avoid that Sunday night feeling of a weekend wasted. My goal was to have a plan in place for the coming weekend by each Friday evening. This weekend the plan was to plant our small Christmas tree in the wood. We chose a nice spot and popped it in the ground. Sadly...
Once again my capsule started out looking very different to how it ended. I swapped a number of maternity items for normal clothes, and swapped a few other items, adding some new colourful purchases made in November and early December. My green skirt got a lot of wear in the autumn. Mild weather in early October allowed me to stick with bare legs...
Here's every item of clothing, and accessories I purchased in 2017. It looks like a lot doesn't it? And I'm surprised to say I bought more this year than last, even though I spent less. I haven't yet stopped buying items in charity shops without trying them on, and I've made a few ebay purchases that didn't fit, and couldn't be returned, so...
Happy New Year! I'm starting 2018 with feelings of hope and positivity. I've decided that this year will be a good one. So many people I care about had a tough time in 2017, so I've decided that this year will be better, for everyone. No arguments. With this in mind I'm setting out some goals for the year. The first, and most...
