Wear Everything in my Wardrobe Once or give it away 80/100

Had a good look at my wardrobe and went through it throwing out at least 50 things to a charity shop I mean.
Sadly then decided to arrange it by colour and order skirts trousers tops etc.
Realised I have worn everything apart from some very posh outfits or black clothes bought for a funeral so feel like this has been completed well enough to be counted off.
It does seem better to have less clothes but clothes that I feel good in.
Am a little worried that I won't be able to fully complete my challenge but am soldiering on and having a good look at my targets.  Adding a few more and looking at ones that could be completed fairly easily if I put my mind to it.
Strangely find myself doing some again I guess because I have enjoyed them and some that should be really easy are proving problematic- such as going to the library 5 times- easy you would think but haven't found it so.
Am not losing interest but am not able to do some because of money or time or sickness but I WILL complete it.

Holidaying with Kids and other things

Have just spent a lovely week in Cornwall Geri and Catrina came but the rest of the kids didn't for various reasons. Geri beat David at go-karting which has always been on her wish list a bonus to beat him as well lol. Before I went I had a go at dying my eyelashes myself made a bit of a boob in not putting enough mixture in but it was noticable enough for a friend and Geri to comment so will do this again. Wore makeup when we went out so am putting this in as once for this task.
There was a lovely spa at the hotel so this counts as a spa visit and it was so lovely and warm that I was able to continue my swimming challenge and have now completed 24700 metres which is actually 16.5 miles out of 21 whoopee do.
For August and September I set myself a challenge not to buy any clothes and amazed myself by being able to do it for two months instead of one. I also find myself shopping in a different more thoughtful way not just mindlessly buying yet another top or skirt. May think about having one month of being allowed to buy and then one month not, it was cetainly very interesting to note how I felt differntly about shopping after not doing it for a fairly short space of time. Am also looking at ways of looking at my own wardrobe as a "shop" by putting some away or in a different wardrobe, just out of interest. We all need to be a bit more frugal these days so no harm to buy less, Am looking forward to the belly dancing class tomorrow, shoud be fun.

Not Buying Clothes

I can't believe how hard I am finding this, luckily in some ways have not been well enough to go out to shops like I would usually but am sorely tempted by clothes in magazines and the internet. I am still looking but have not bought anything.

Have asked for clothes for Mothers Day to help me but would really like to go out myself. My wardrobe is actually jam packed with clothes and I am trying to wear items not worn before but it is not giving me as much pleasure as actually going out and buying something new.

I even looked at clothes-pajamas- in Lidl I was getting that deperate but I couldn't bring myself to buy something there. Still am halfway through so will perservere, was hoping to try this for longer but do not have the willpower.
