    Looks brand new suede jacket in the Salvation Army shop yesterday. Was priced up at £8 but was charged £1.50 - absolute steal. No marks at all, and a perfect fit but smells of moth balls so is currently having a blow on the line outside.

    From the AgeUK in town, a taupe faux leather jacket, a M&S khaki trench coat and a Principles cropped cap sleeved jacket, all £1 each.

    From the Salvation Army, a Monsoon top, green with a crotchet design round the neck - £1, and a long vintage St Michaels suede coat with fur round the neck and cuffs (not for me) for £3. I heard the manager say that they were having a refit, so they were selling things off for either £1, £2 or £3.

    A pair of M&S 100% linen trousers (Love Linen range) in khaki with a fine beige stripe.

    These are wide legged, are pull-on and have a ribbed elasticated back so are very comfy to wear.
    I have several pairs in different colours..

    Almost had another pair of these in coral (although tag said 'crimson' - no way!) in Sue Ryder shop for £2 but I noticed that they had a faded stripe down the side of one leg. :mad:

    Ankle-length fitted, black, Laura Ashley cashmere coat £10, new Clarks shoes £2.99 (were £70 in Clarks the previous season). Lots of things over the years, some of which I keep. However, I wash and re-donate the washable clothes or, if unsuitable, either cut up for crafts or send for recycling. Nice to see a few things reappear on the hangers, earning more money for the charity.

    Only a gardening book for my friend in Barnardo's - it was about growing veg in small spaces & just right for her.
    I wore my dress and shoes to the wedding on Wednesday & had quite a few compliments! The dress was lovely to wear so has earned a space in my wardrobe and the shoes were comfy and perfect as the wedding was held ona small woodland estate in a marquee - the heels were chunky so I didn't spike the grass!!!
    Still donating more than I'm buying but happy that someone else will get the benefit and contribute to a good cause.
    Happy hunting all x
