    i was in shock today was in the helen and douglas house charity shop in town. Now they do tend to be picey for clothes but even i was horrifed at a next dress for 45 quid! it was not new and probably 2 or 3 years old. Then the next stand had a real leather tan handbag for a fiver and it was new and tagged and bang on trend Clueless or what lol

    not so much 'bargains' i got yesterday but pleased with them
    went to the more expensive shops that have lovely clothes with 2 screaming boys in tow! and got a karen millen cardigan £4.95, boden cardigan £4.95, oasis top £3, Hugo Boss shirt for OH £4.99, Whistles dress £8.95. rather unfriendly assistant in the shop 'you do know that this dress is £8.95? and the total is quite a lot?' well yes!

    Saw a NWT Juicy Couture vest for £6 in a charity shop today. Didn't buy it though as it wasn't my size and I'm paranoid about fakes!

    So asked OH what he wants to do on Sunday, his only day off of the week - he wants to go booting :beer:

    Now hoping the weather is gonna be good, as we might, only might head to denham however if rains forecast Ill give it a miss.

    Any other london suggestions for us??
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Send me some enthusasm to list on ebay i seem to have more clothes not right or to sell than i have to wear at the moment. clothes are bursting from my wardrobe and i even have a pile neatly behind a chair in the living room (no one has noticed and its been there a month).

    The 45 next dress was in witney,oxfordshire. It was an evening style with applique flowers and beads so was probably about 65-80 new i think.
