    My work colleague loves Primarni!

    I had a look there yesterday but couldn't see anything I fancied. They are really good for things like vest tops for £1.50...I usually get one in each colour! Also good for knickers and socks! It is a bit like going to a Jumble Sale though as in our one everything is always all over the place! Defo bargains galore though!

    I love charity shops - if we go anywhere theres a website called up my street - (I think) go on here and you can find all the charity shops in a particular town or area, I often go out shopping for the full day and only do charity shops - its the fact you never know what you will find- how often I walk into the usual high street shops and yes they may have ' new' clothes in for the season but they are just like last seasons or last years??? my besy buy was a pair of River Island denim combat jeans must have only been worn once if that and I paid £2 for them - I have absolutely worn them to death!!! also got DS2 pair of england shorts the other day for 99p / reebok trackies for 75p, the kids love them especially the 4 videos for 99p:D

    That's well handy thanks! :beer:

    I defo agree about the high street shops all being the same. I only need to go in one shop in my town and I know what will be in all of them.

    (with the exception of Jane Norman which I totally love but it's about £25 just for a top - loads on ebay though! And I got one in a charity shop for £1 once - hoorah!)
