    Yep, the site is very offputting at the mo :(

    I have all my scarves in an under-the-bed plastic crate - must have at least a dozen. Pretentious, moi? :):):)

    Take it easy today, you *are* under medical care, y'know?

    A dozen? Lightweight :D. 20+ summer ones with around a dozen heavier :o, but yes, they do give me joy :T.

    I can report that natter to Spanish MSE'er accomplished so one less thing on the to do list. Will add to mine to mine so I can cross it off :rotfl:.

    Tilly - I tend to give most of our clothes that are no longer sparking joy to the charity shop. I could probably get a few pounds for them on eBay, but I would much rather someone else benefit from getting a lovely item at a low price, as well as contributing to a local charity (I always donate to the same chazza on our local high street which raises funds for our local palliative care hospice). Well done you on sorting it out, I personally love a good wardrobe flinging session.


    ATB xx PS I have a wicker basket where I store all my scarves, I have some beautiful ones and no matter how basic my outfit, one of my scarves cheers it right up x
