Goodbye Frugal February - Hello Charitable March!

As you read this, I'm hopefully (I've missed flights before!) in London, meeting up with my blogging friends and buying new scarves for the shop. But I thought it was important prep this post before I left as it's a new month at long last. Time to bid farewell to the misery that was Frugal February and say hello to the next challenge for the month of March!
If you actually did complete the frugal challenge, please comment below to let me know so I can do the draw for the goodies I promised to give away!

Contrary to my original plan, March is not going to be a Clothes Swap month - I've moved that to another month and I'll explain why when we get to that month (cryptic!). Instead, March is going be Charity Shop Challenge month. So it's is all about you sharing your best charity shop finds throughout the month, ideally stuff you find this month but also if you have an amazing item you've found in the past, please tell me all (Sharon and Natalie - you have to share your Chanel finds!)
So get your charity shop posts ready for the linky later in the week. In the meantime, have a super weekend and I'll be back with a full report on London next week...or you can follow my adventures on Twitter & Instagram!

  2. I did complete frugal feb and it's quite odd but I found it fairly easy, which actually is very strange for me given my addiction to online shopping! I'm even considering carrying on a little longer... Though I do have a few virtual shopping baskets waiting to be checked out! Lynne x

  8. Frugal Februay was never going to happen for me - I was in South Africa for the last 2 weels and the exchange rate was so good that I went a bit mad on the shopping front. It was the first time I've ever checked my credit card statement coming home and been pleasantly surprised! I love the idea for this challenge though, I'm definitely going to see if I can find a bargain or two. There are quite a few charity shops near me so looking forward to a rummage!
