Yes, sometimes we just need new things – or our children do and second hand is not always an option. The main thing is to really think about if we really need “new” item(s). January sounds good to me too. Well, nobody said that we have to limit it to October 😉

This month I have already bought loads of new clothes … although I hadn’t bought any for ages so need to sort out my wardrobe. I like it! I think I should give it a go in another month – someone suggested January which is a good idea.

October sounds like a good month to do this. Once I head into November, I always seem to be getting ready for Christmas (and buying things…). Love the concept. It’s so easy to think “I need this”, when I really don’t.
