It's not often you get exactly what you're looking for - but yesterday I got a pair of navy linen trousers, my size exactly, new and with the original £99 pricetag on - for £2!

It does annoy me though when labels are removed, and the size and washing instructions in the process.

Me too.
I'm not sure why they do it.
I've bought M&S rejects in Oxfam before and the label has been cut through but still there.

Another gripe is when shops put the plastic tags through material instead of labels. It can damage the garment, especailly if it's jersey material.

This thread is making me excited for my charity shopping trip planned for Friday, it's been ages since I've had a good look around the charity shops!

My clothes are in desperate need of a sort out, so I think I'll try and get that done before Friday so that I can take them with me

Great finds everyone!

Long time lurker but thrilled with an as-new Phase Eight long black polo neck top with matching belt for £1 ! And looking at the forecast, I'll be wearing it up here (north of Aberdeen) in the next few days...

They fit her like a dream - she's just found her love of charity shops!
