    I cannot believe he is now 4!

    Nickylala hope you have a great birthday. I remember your posts from my lurking days!! x



    Thanks for posting this, I must have really stuffed up my shop yesterday as the Garnier was showing at £1.67 for each shop!

    Could you tell me what the Mr Muscle trigger is please.

    Hi, the Mr muscle is bathroom care trigger spray BC ending 5914.
    Garnier is still priced at £3.87 in my store but others have it at the reduced price.

    I agree Dave but when you can get them in the posh Charity shops and we do have some good ones where I live it really gives me a buzz Nannylala prides herself on being very clued up on the expensive makes and being able to spot them from afar;);)

    Really wish we had some charity shops like that around. Around here we get expensive charity shops, as in pay more for a Primark top than you should in Primark, and wedding dresses for £200. I asked one of the shops why they charge so much where we live, their reply was that people that live in X can afford it. I then put the books I was holding down in the counter and let her start ringing them up. I then told her I live in X and I can't afford it, turned round and walked out.

    I am so tired of everyone assuming that we are rich just because we live in a prosperous area, and people do not seem to realise how expensive it is to live here:mad:

    Oops sorry for the rant:o
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Pink (as in make) shirt for £5 original cost £115
    Pink( as in colour) new 100% silk tie £3-50 original price £49
    Grey M&S suit almost new reduced to £6-25 original cost in excess of £100:T
    DS is very impressed with Nannylala's thrifty Wedding outfit and it fits him perfectly:j:j

    I can totally understand where you are coming from ,the areas I frequent are more pricey than my area and obviously there are some monied people live there as you can tell by the type of clothing they donate.What is nice though is the Charity shops are not greedy and do not overprice and obviously you do pick up some really cheap things that have slipped through the net so to speak and I am clued up as I was in the clothing business and it is an advantage;)
