Pinkpetal has your shop worked? Feel excited for you if that makes sense.
Just popped a load of stuff in a bag for the British heart foundation. I used to spend a fair amount of money on clothes but it is sad to see some stuff go. Especially my navy blue wool pea coat. A thing of beauty that. Then again, I think how chuffed I'd be to find something like that in a charity shop. You have to be ruthless in a clear out!Debt free 6th December 2014

Dont know if I'll be able to partake, because of time, but I bet I've missed a few good ones!
Have just agreed with my boss a 3 month sabbatical from work, as my son is about to start radiotherapy for a cancerous brain tumour, and there is no way I can work and get him to all his appointments. Plus I'm exhausted and stressed from the last 3 months of surgery, appointments, scans, physio, adjusting to having a son with a limp to a son who struggles to walk and has epilepsy.
Well done Logie on the money raising, sounds like you are doing well healthwise (I've only read a page or two)?
Best wishes all xx

That is what I would say too, each store has it's own way even down to different staff on different nights. Some stores/staff take it out the back to be reduced further. Other stores/staff will do it at the section.
Both my local Ts seem to half price around 5 ish with one reducing further 75% to 80% approx 7pm the other bit later. But have been caught out at times with final reductions not until 8.30pm! But then they are usually better at 90% off.
You need to have time on your hands and keep looking back at the reduction cabinets. I often go fairly early to see if anything worth having and see it taken away but sometimes has been an hour before it has been returned. Anyone else looking would have thought all over and done with.

Good Afternoon

Rudeboy that is awful I would be :mad:
Still not forgiven Hospital from 1st Jan 2012 leaving my mum sat in A&E for five and half hours after emergency ambulance took her there. Mum was 79 and had had a stroke
When we finally got to see the doc I asked why they had not seen mum sooner. I got a :mad: answer seeing to New Year drunks first :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: . I ended up having to go outside and felt so alone and cried my eyes out I couldn't believe what we had got told. Mum was in hospital for a couple weeks before they allowed her home.
I hadn't long joined the Elite so had no one proper to talk to.
Sorry for such a depressing post
