    The pashmina looks quite creased and thin....I think I have one in that colour that I don't use...I'll have a look and see if I can find it tomorrow - you're welcome to it if I can find it.
    It was the colour that attracted me so that would be fantastic if you do find it :)

    scaredy, you're like my sister - she's adamant she's not having kids, she hates babies, looks at me like I'm insane when I mention being broody. but put a puppy in her arms and she turns to goo!

    Oooh, I didn't know Oxfam had an online shop! the zip up coin bit could be at the back, but if it is it can't be very big.

    Ames - free postage from Oxfam online (they encourage donations).

    I got my winter coat from there two years ago - I had to pay a dressmaker to take it in but it was still good value for a good condition wool coat.

    I can't work it out and don't want to waste the money - I was just looking there to avoid looking for Radley purses on ebay :D

    Katsu - I'd avoid the pashmina tbh and the coin bit is probably a tight little section on the back that is nigh on impossible to get coins out of without scratching fingers or dropping coins everywhere....

    Hmm, the oxfam site looks as silly priced as their rl shops - £5 for a second hand primark jumper! there's some nice stuff at reasonable prices though.

  • I'm gladit's not just me Ames that finds Oxfam expensive.My mum hates me some Saturdays, as I go in her charity shop and say mum "I can buy that brand new in Primark" or "You're having a laugh".Claire - she's keeping an eye out for wool.
