    Still donating & not buying ;) TBH there isn't anything I particularly need. My only purchases from CS have been Christmas cards as I'd rather they had the money!
    You lot have had some brilliant finds & I certainly agree with not saving things 'for best' cos that's probably why so much ends up in the CS!!

    Well I'm having a bit of a curtain thing at the moment. Today I got an immaculate pair of interlined cream full length curtains for £9 today but my useful bargain was 11 lovely linen napkins for £3.50. They will be used for lunch tomorrow

    I got my Xmas jumper from CS, lovely River Island one with a big robin in sequins on the front, it was £7.99 but it looks unworn (or just the once last year?!) and I'm sure it would have been nearer £30 new - yes, just googled for proof!

    Linen M&S shirt for me in jade green and a Phase Eight brown jersey top for my sister which was £3.50. She's not really a big charity shop girl but she was thrilled with this. I'll convert her yet!!

    Pair of black M&S straight leg trousers in a half price sale for £1.90. Perfect fit, which is a little disconcerting as they are a 14 and I'm normally a 12, and we haven't even had the over-indulgence season yet!

    Sizing has changed over the years. Perhaps they had been put away for some time. Does the label code suggest a year?
