Visiting family in Bourne which has a few chaz shops and picked up a new pair of work trousers for £1 off the sale rail. Autonomy they are, not sure if that is a good brand or not but they fit great. My little girl got some books. :TI have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases I feel the possessions possess them, rather than the other way round0
