I'll not be buying any clothing!

Last few years I've given myself rules. A couple of years ago I could only buy items off a list (e.g. Two shirts, two Polo's etc) and this year I can only buy when the footie transfer window is open.

This is a big one though and not sure if I can do it but gonna give it a try. Wish me luck!

Edit: if anyone is selling an orange padded winter jacket 23-24 then let me know.

you'll change your mind when youve sobered up!

12 fucking months only way i could do that was if i was locked up

Aye but you'd still find a way





Seriously though hats off if you can, me not a chance, I close to spunking a fair wack this month, just like every other since I remember.

each to their own I suppose ..

I am sober - barely drank last night.

I'm not claiming it will be easy (or fun) but should make a healthy bank account. If I put the cash towards the mortgage it will be paid off years earlier. Makes sense if I can keep focusing on that although haven't told the wife yet just in case change my mind.

If you don't have any orange a/w for sale then any suggestions for what's available.... Not really a colour I've looked at tbh. I'm not really looking to pay over 200 max - thinking of a Paul Smith parka I saw somewhere or a RL I saw in TKs at the mo'.

Ill find you some more bargains Ed...

Mental. Fair play pal and good luck!

Goodluck mate, you'll need it!

i wish i could do this too mate but workin in a shop with my discount its a tad tricky hahah ! I hope u do i tho think of the money ull save!

Thanks for the good luck messages - I'm gonna need them. G - in the nicest possible way just fook off!

Stupidly let the wife record me saying it on her phone yesterday. I did only say clothes though so reckon that doesn't include accessories.

Trying to get authorisation to buy just one item from 12th Man - can't believe I forgot that was coming.

He's Wilting

Yep, I want to cry....


....but at the same time have a feeling that Thurs on will have a zen like calm.

Just paid for my last bit of clothing for 12 months.

Picked up or ordered around a dozen things since deciding on the sabbatical on Sat night.

I'll post up pics when all, or at least the majority of items are with me.

In the meantime wish me luck!

How about swapping items Ed, is that still allowed?

Once again, good luck.

Thanks and yes, swaps are allowed but tbh I really don't like swapping. May have a winter Nordli up for grabs or if the Belstaff doesn't fit that I may swap that as opposed to posting it back to Germany.

Have you written out some rules and regulations so the Mrs doesn't/can't complain...

If not, I would

Tempted as I am to keep going til midnight my shopping is over. A dozen items when I didn't really need anything is enough.

G - nothing written down but I have made it clear I said clothing and not accessories. Plus work clothing doesn't count - not sure whether I can convince her that includes outfits for any works do's

Oh, also allowed replacements if any damages or losses plus one item from 12th Man.

Of course she hasn't a clue what's due to land

Any chance of a little moral support on this?

I've done pretty well over the 4 months but the Jan sales are pretty much stretching my will power to breaking point.

All the good stuff's gone now. Does this help? ; )

Seriously though, there are more important things in life than new clobber. Don't know you personally but if you're like most folk on here you'll have a ton of stuff already. Play around with that. There's probably loads you haven't worn for ages, or haven't worn with other pieces. In fact I should do that more myself instead of just reaching for the credit card!

If you want new clobber and you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, then don't.

Cheers man, the good stuff is never gone, it just may not reach the sales.

Too true about what I have though. Since i've not bought for months their is very little I haven't worn now but accept I've not mixed and matched yet.

Guess it's more a case of lads out having fun whilst I can't and being on here I'm seeing the proof of their good times ;-)

I'm not a rich man but I can afford a few bits every now and then. It's more a principle of sticking to what I said now - probably harder as I can afford stuff.

That sounds very 'secret squirrel'. Where is it then, or would you have to kill me if you told me?
