The 2010 crazy clothes challenge

Lilysue - I completely agree with you!

And where is that charity shop?!!! That's a great price for a Laura Ashley coat. The charity shops near me would easily have that on sale for £20+ (don't tell me - I haven't been in a charity shop since I started as I know it would be fatal!

£9.25 to declare; Speedo swimming suit that fits! (Ebay.) No excuses not to go now though!

I did it spent over an hour in primark and didnt spend a penny. dont know if it was my imagination or what but every time i picked something up there was eyes watching me or it felt like it.

Does anybody else find, since they started this challange especially, that Primark actually seems quite expensive?! Im starting to think theyve put their prices up quite a lot and to be honest the quality doesnt represent the price anymore!

Niccatw, it was the main Oxfam charity shop in Norwich where I live.....I live on the not so good side of town, but the great thing is that my walk in to the city centre takes me past all the charity shops

And normally I find our Oxfam to be quite pricey, I think for once I just got lucky

I did notice while in primark that there prices seem to be going up on some things. i looked at two tops one was £4 the other one was £9 they were nearly the same.

I thought Primark was quite expensive last time I went in there. I find Peacocks to be a little cheaper and better quality now or good old Mr Ts.

May have some more spends to report tomorrow as im going on a charity shop hunt with my Mum.

Supermarket clothes are actually really good now, 10 years ago could you honestly imagin being proud of shopping in mr T's? Nowadays its more of a label

Lovely new moleskin black Laura Ashley coat: £ 6.99 ( yes it's quite a bit of money but I am so pleased with this, it's slimming and classy )
Tweed trousers : £3.99

Great bargains there, LilySue.
