    :DI'm in Worcester tomorrow Frith ... don't beat me to the shops!
    I still think the "old" smaller Kemp shop in Kidderminster (Oxford Street, still open) is better than the new one. Forest Dog Rescue next door to this is good too.
    Why am I telling you this?!!:D

    Ha ha .. one I haven't found? Don't be daft! :rotfl:
    I walk through there back to the High Street every visit. I find some nice things but never in my size boohoo. Always look though.

  • I've recently moved and we got our 3 piece suite, dining table and much much more home stuff from the various charity shops, saved a fortune! Plus the money went to local charities ♥

    Found a Ralph Lauren 100% cashmere charcoal grey jumper in the 99p box.

    It was perfect apart from two small moth holes which I repaired in 10 minutes back home.

    It's had a wash in Woolite and is now laid flat and drying nicely.

  • Went to Ormskirk today. There are loads of charity shops there. I got a brand new M & Co skirt for £2 and brand new Regatta lightweight mac for my DD for £3.75. My BF got 2 pairs of jeans for £1.50 a pair as there was a half price sale, pair of work trousers for £3, a Tu rugby top for £3 and oven glove. All from various shops.

    Also found a pub that did BOGOF hot drinks so 2 lattes for £2!
    I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases I feel the possessions possess them, rather than the other way round

    Got a Whistles skirt yesterday, salmon colour, really heavy cotton with same colour embroidery, 2 pleats back and front, £4.30. After washing and pressing it I was really impressed at how well made it was, (e.g. pattern matched across where pleats were, bar tacks to hold lining in place at hem), so I had a look on their website..... I was :eek: at their prices! £200 to £300 for a similar skirt!

    I discovered Ormskirk recently, and now go over regularly from Southport. It's my new fave town - a c/shop (or two) on every street, and down the little alleys too :T. It's a lovely place just to stroll around too. Got a good atmosphere, and the people seem very friendly.

    I also like West Kirby, although there's only four or five there. I got a lovely Kindle cover there for £1.49, which turned out to be designer - on their website they only have the matching iPad case now so must have discontinued the smaller Kindle/tablet covers, but that was £59!
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
