Is that walking distance from the centre? Can you give me a rough idea which station it is nearest to out of Moorfields, Central, James Street or Lime Street, to help me get my bearings?

So sorry, but not living there makes it difficult for me to direct you - I'm sure some Liverpudlian will be able to help though.
We're usually in the car, but I wouldn't say it was within walking distance of central Liverpool (unless you're very fit)! Son's near Hawarden Avenue off the Smithdown Road, if that's any help - and the charity shops are near that end.
ETA Just seen Floss2's post and that's about right!

I picked up a lovely Junior J hoody from Scope in Bangor for £1.95 - perfect.

I am in Bangor, N Wales & I often walk from Upper Bangor starting with "Upper Annie's" great for furniture / household bits, "St David's Hospice" nicely laid out & good quality books & bric a brac.

Once in town you have Red Cross, British Heart Foundation & Cancer Research within a few doors of each other. Current fave is BHF for clothes for little one. Scope is in the Deniol Centre has had a sort out & a bit more organised now.

Further down town is Age Concern which often runs £1 or 1/2 price sales - good linen selection, virtually next door is Oxfam - great books and the trail ends in lower Bangor with another Annie's store.

Hope this helps any other local MSE'r x

Dave, you're in Bangor?!?! I didn't realise there was a MSE'r so close! I'm in Llandudno but used to live in Bangor. I love the charity shops there!

I had time to kill before going to lunch yesterday so popped into the Dalston Oxfam - manged to buy only two Cd's 99p and 10p and a cookery book but they were filming in there for a Channel 4 programme on clothing yourself for an interview on less than twenty five quid.

Hi All

I have had an amazing morning in my local CS's.

There's a top I have had my eye on for a few weeks for £3.99 and today I woke up and decided to stop faffing around and just buy it.

When I got to the shop it had gone and I was gutted, but then I found it on the sale rail for 99p. Obviously I bought it immediately : )

In the next shop I got DD a Sonny with a Chance dvd for £1.50, Santa Claus the movie dvd for 50p.

In the next shop I got DS some Umbro shorts for £1 and godson a xmas book for £1.

In the final shop (one I don't tend to go in) I spotted a sign outside that all childrens clothes were reduced and so I got DS an Abercrombie and Fitch polo shirt for 50p!!!!! Bargain.

For those who want to go to Liverpool for charity shops the best areas are not in the city centre. Old Swan has a street full of them from the main chains to the little independent ones. Allerton has a good few as well on the main road through. Crosby also has good charity shops in South Road and St Johns Road.

For those of you in the Greater Manchester area Cheadle has about 6 charity shops and one of them has a great vintage section.
This week got two beautiful dresses size 14. CS's are really helping me as I am on a mission to lose weight and just manage to pick up a couple of items to keep me going until I drop to the next size. Anyway dresses were Monsoon and M&S 2.99 each perfect.
