What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

I'd take the original back for a refund.. just say it was a gift and isn't the right size, you're well within your consumer rights.

Quick note to apologise for this ^^^ too many nights of zero sleep finally took it's toll, I knew what I meant to say, but ended up typing something completely different & as pointed out, wrong.

Sorry all.

Miro, maybe you'd like to look at the Kon Marie thread...?

How fascinating, have had a squiz at a few 'folding' videos just now and will have a good read of the thread. Will certainly look out for the book too. Many thanks for the heads up :T

Have decided to keep both coats as it seems somewhat churlish to return a gift and as has been mentioned I'm sure there will be lots of
opportunities in our climate to wear both

I don't think it's churlish! But personally I wouldn't keep both if they were so similar, I'd return the gift and donate the £159 to charity (plus gift aid).

You are doing well Miro you have added some lovely items to your wardrobe this week, I find it goes in phases you get lots all at once and then nothing for a while. I am always on the lookout for bargains when I get the time to browse.

In our local hospice shop I found a Jacques Vert Occasion/longline jacket in bright pink. Looks brand new, doesn't have tags on but has the spare button attached to the label at the neck. Brand new these are about £160, about £80 in the sale. I got it for £4!

Also got a Racing Green sleeveless khaki coloured blouse for £2.50.

I agree about it being feast or famine...:rotfl:

I'm expecting to find very little now for a while. I'm trying to be more circumspect, (is that the right word?), with my purchases and only go for quality and new, or as new, items but that doesn't always work tho

I really must have a good old clear out this week-end to free up some space. I'm seeing a friend in a couple of days who is happy to drop off my donations at a charity shop about 40 miles away from me. It's funny but I hate to see my old stuff on the rails of my local chazzas. Plus I have been known to re-buy my own stuff again by accident!
