You're only saying that to make me feel better.
It's still hung up with the tag on and the receipt in the pocket.
Ho! Hum!

How much would the dry-cleaning be?
I'd go back and see if the coat is still there.
NOW!
I love long wool coats in the winter with flat boots and pashminas and hat and gloves.
But I travel on public transport a lot and like to be warm waiting for buses - and sometimes on them if the heating isn't working that well.

Me too Pollycat on wearing long wool coats also you can wear any old carp under them as long as you dont have to take it off at anytime :rotfl:I think the cleanings about £10/12 so still a right bargain. I will have to sew up the pocket lining but not a hard job even for me


Well pleased with it as it is so lovely and cut really well and can wear warm thick jumpers under it

There you go!
It had your name on it. :T

I'm going to try my Weird Fish jacket on again. At this rate it will be worn out before I decide if I'm keeping it or not.

I know this isn't a charity shop bargain but I wanted to share this with you:

They're Ozwear UGGS, brand new from ebay, label says 'ugg purely merino, quality Australian Sheepskin' and the price label including tax is $251.90 aussie dollars, so around £125. I paid £30 and they're really thick and snuggly sheepskin, even better than a similar style I have in UGGS.

They'll look really great with a fuchsia casual jacket.
Now, where did I see one of those? :rotfl:

Thank-you

You could look at kitchen equipment, I've bought some good saucepans from charity shops.

I'll do that then. I always need an item to search for.

I went wandering in a new direction this afternoon and sourced another couple of books from the chaz @75p each.

My bookshelves overfloweth.....

An M & S necklace which I gave to a cs last year appeared on a stand there on Tuesday. It matches an autumn coloured sweater I bought recently exactly so bought it back for 99p, and was worth every penny, they look super together

Is that what you'd class as re-re-cycling? :T

I bought a Kath Kidston large tote bag with a zip top in fuchsia, jade, pink, lime green & blue flowers. £5.00

And a Escada Sport fold up nylon bag in its own pouch £1.00 - perfect for keeping in my bag to put all my CS bargains in and it folds up so small that I can get another nylon fold up bag into the pouch too.
No idea how much it would be new but Escada looks like an expensive brand (it's stocked in Harrods :eek:)

Both bags from my lovely hospice shop.

Looking great in something is always a fabulous incentive! The weather is just turning, I bet you get loads of use out of it.
