Hello, I'm Mara, I live in Bucks with my husband and mum. We are moving this year to somewhere away from the SE, although no clue where as yet.

Ahoy Mara! :salute:

I will be following your not buying anything blog with interest 'cos I am doing the same thing! There was a wee discussion here about it.

Not bought anything new so far, but have a wee archaeology job coming up later this month and am going to need to buy some PPE for it :oops:

Does that count tho 'cos it's going through my business :wink:

Well, if your employer provides it, you don't have to buy it...

What do you need? Maybe we can find you some secondhand stuff?

Ah - I could possibly get you safety wellies, if they are any good. Yellow vest - I only have my own, and I'd prefer to keep that in the car! :wink:

Thanks Ina but I think I may be sorted now and without having to make a NEW purchase!

Sorry Mara for hijacking your thread :oops:

Thanks for the welcome other peeps. :) There seem to be goals to not buy anything all over this year. :)

I'm feeling a bit of a failure about it already because of the gardener, but I'm just trying to forget that and get on with the rest of the year!

:)
