Bhf is by far the most expensive in our town too jj, they seem to think vintage means anything old, and have "vintage babydoll nightdresses" (think polyester lol) for £40!

You couldn't buy one odd shoe for a £5 in our local oxfams

This one used to be like that, then I think they realised they weren't actually selling anything. I know it's mean but I love it when they price all the Primark stuff up at near normal prices and then mark a Thomas Pink shirt at £3.50. (That was the BHF, made my week!)

PF, £40?!! Even my local overpriced vintage shop isn't that bad!!

Yeah it's mental..
Oh well, it doesn't stop me visiting, I find it just adds to the challenge to find a bargain..
There's nothing on tv now, so I'm going to bed with a trashy chick lit book..nite all

Charity shops here are really overpriced. I used to love the BHF shop when I lived a couple of towns over, they had an amazing book section and not just your regular selection of tatty old Catherine Cooksons.

Now if I can manage it I go to the same town to support Charity Begins At Home, which donates purely to local causes and does not advertise nor pay workers.

Also off to bed, have a good night all you night owls.

Nite PF. I'm off too, going for a quick soak in the bath with Valley of the Dolls to read, then it's off to bed for me.

Sweet dreams all.

Our Oxfam shop must be the cheapest one anywhere - clothing is ridiculously cheap compared to the others, books tend to be a bit more expensive though. BHF shops will always be quite expensive - they have a nationwide pricing policy, we have posters up in the sort room saying exactly what we have to charge for certain items. Bargains are possible though when a sorter misses a good label and puts it in the green bin which is the cheapest price band. A dress on green for example would be £4.99 and on red or blue £6.99 and up. They are very fussy about the condition and age of garments as well. I'm not saying I agree with their policy, just explaining it! Also I get 25% off so it pretty much evens out for me.

BHF is the most expensive here too. Our Oxfam is pretty good, it's huge! Most clothes are £2.99. It's usually the local ones (hospice etc) that have the best prices.

I don't know if any remembers but I mentioned about my top university contacting me for a reference. I've just got an unconditional from them tonight I can't tell you all how happy I am! My life is finally looking up.
Celebrating with a magazine in the bath, how rock and roll!
