    I just bid on a Radley purse on ebay - I only bid £3 so no chance I will win I expect.

    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....
    Thanks Luc, I expect you are right. Why is it so hard to find a nice small leather purse that is not black (I'm an autumn colours obsessive)?

    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.

    I don't even go into Oxfam now on my charity shop trawls (I've even got the route planned out, I do it every few weeks). It's just so expensive for everything. I love RSPCA and PDSA though, their prices are reasonable and the staff are a lot nicer. I go to the local hospice shop though most, apart from anything else it probably gets a lot less funding than the big charities.

    I'm thinking about instead of having a proper purse getting one of the big coin purses, I've already got a card holder because every purse I've ever had ends up with the card slots getting stretched and them all falling out in shops.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
