Well in further weather news it has started raining and is very gloomy. I have bought myself a new coat in the charity shop and I gave it a good test walking the dog. It was not too bad so that is good although I hope to buy a smaller size in future!

Good for you grabbing a bargain Lilac! I was once adviced to buy coats etc from charity shops while doing the D word haha...so good for you!
We love a good old search in charity shops when we are on the mainland, hubby is more successful than me in spotting bargains, he even got a brand new jumper and a pair of unworn shoes once! I am never that lucky, though I bought a lovely scarf months ago, it still had price tags attached to it, was originally Β£12 and I bought it for Β£3! π

There are lots of charity shops in all my local towns so I can have a good trawl round them but my family are not too keen on charity shops so I have to wait till I go shopping on my own.

Lol they are missing out, a lot of charity shops have new and nearly new items nowadays. I think the stigma of second hand clothes being dirty has long gone π
I have bought a lot of 2nd hand DVDs in charity shops, watched them and handed them back to charity shops to sell again.
Happy hunting!

Happy hunting! I agree with that Rosie .. the things that they sell have to be of a good standard otherwise people will not be interested or buy them. I have bought quite a few things from charity shops and never had any problems at all.
