    Loving charity shops! I spent 25 quid on Oxfam online and got 4 tops and a pair of vey nice twousers thank you very much all from m&s :D:D

    Wow... I'm envious... The charity shops in my part of the world seem to charge stupendous prices - last week, Oxfam had a 70s style PVC raincoat in its window for over 40 quid!! and regularly, they sell secondhand shoes for £18... Its not one of the designer outlets, just terribly expensive. I buy all my clothes on ebay these days, as its cheaper,

    QB Crikey!! I have to say when I put my search n for Oxfam online I do limit myself to £5 per item. I know what you mean though have been to a charity shop in the big smoke and the items were uber expensive....

    TPA have you got an umbrella and some kind of juice to colour the drink with - that always makes it look tropical!! I think I have some sparklers somewhere if you get desperate!! x:rotfl:

    Wanted to ask what is this 'Shred' of which you speak??:o

  • :DDay two in the TPA alcohol free house: I am pleased to report I have drunk two cans of diet coke but no ALCOHOL!!

    Dansmum, Shred is a form of torture! Have you ever watched the Biggest Loser? The very scary lady from there has her own 'fitness' DVD, Hypno (commonly found on D.F.Diaries) has got everyone except me and GG to buy it!! We are strong, and strong we will stand!

    On the money front I have negotiated a good rate of pay for two mystery shops for Friday, a bit of travelling but the pay more than reflects this.:j I sold a book on ebay tonight so thats a futher £9 for the pot:D Just need to win the lottery on Wednesday now:p

    On the decluttering front I am amazing myself, I have thrown away, advertised on ebay or put in a bag for charity so many items I have lost count:j

    This is all thanks to Hypno who is a very inspiring lady xxxx

    TPA


    MFW - We've only gone and blooming done it!

    Yes, our laziness will not be defeated :rotfl:. In fairness though TPA you are doing a lot of exercise. And I cannot do squats & lunges because of my knees so no point me buying it.




    Luckily :o
