    :T What a great price for a coat - do you mind me asking which brand it was?

    .

    It was a Musto Snugs riding coat...so not "normal" fashion!

    It was far too big for me and I have others so seemed stupid to keep it!

    resistance is not futile! well done:j
  • I don't know how I've managed it but still on zero spends! And my next trip to Nottingham is this weekend, so I doubt we'll be going out if you know what I mean!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

  • As my dd would say... OMG! I was in a charity shop and just mentioned to the shop staff that I was looking for something 80s on my way out.. the guy asked if I'd like to go out back and take a look at the rails. This is my idea of heaven!:D:j

    They had lots of fab stuff, but tried things on and managed to keep control of my urge to empty the rails into a binliner ;)

    I have just bought THE most amazing top for the 80s fancy dress. It is Frank Usher, beaded and sequined with shoulder pads. It is just fabulous and unmistakeably 80s vintage! I love love love it!

    I was also going to buy a next long black dress with large jet jewels sewn on, very drapey with pockets... but as went to put in the bag at till lady noticed it had been slightly damaged where the last owner had ironed it... she then said I could have it for nowt! :D:beer: Just tried it on and it is tres glam, can't see damage at all! Plan to wear to theatre trip/night out on Sat.

    I had bought other stuff from there, but not clothes challenge related (phew).

    So £5 to declare off the clothes challenge.
