Great bargain GemGem
I went into TK Maxx yesterday & only came out with the Sunglasses I'd planned to buy. I carried a beautiful pair of sandals around with me while I was in there but ended up putting them back as I have a lot of sandals. Great restraint on my part I thought (I do keep thinking of them....)
Not counting the sunglasses towards total as I don't count accessories plus they were a replacement - previous pair broke last week.Shifting my energy for 20200 -
Just bought a super-cute White Stuff dress in the CS - £3.50 - one of those lovely easy wear day dresses that I know I'll wear to death....Shifting my energy for 20200

Somerandom - are the charity shops open on a SUNDAY where you live?? And mavvymoo the sandals sound awesome, well done!
I looked in two charity shops myself on Saturday, feeling determined. But there was literally NOTHING worth buying. And they didn't smell good either. Maybe I am expecting too much. But I looked through all the dresses, not a natural fibre in sight, and everything was very tired. Maybe I need to FaceTime mavvymoo and somerandom next time I go in one!Fashion on the Ration 2020 - 5/66 spent0 -
Vintagegal - Yes there's a few that open on Sundays locally - it's a fairly recent thing - they didn't used to be. Well Done for giving the (sometimes) wonderful world of Charity Shops a try.... (Imagining talking you through the experience on Face Time) :rotfl:
I ordered a poncho from Mint Velvet - NEW :eek: (it was in the sale of course) - it's nice but I'm not 100% sure about it - It may go back so I won't add it until I decide. Big decision - we're talking £35 here :rotfl:Shifting my energy for 20200 -
Morning all Vintagegal Where abouts in the Country are you ? As I doubt I will be coming your way as the Chazzers sound awful
Ours here are so bright and never smell musty or nasty at all.If you come on holiday my way I will take you round some of my favs and you will get a lot of nice things for about £20 :rotfl:
Our very posh Charity shop was opened by Kate Middleton its not cheap but they have some amazing things in there.So good I could see her shopping in there.:rotfl:
I have now sold £135 make that £160 worth of stuff on Ebayand still have 4 items on so need to add some more really its just getting the time to list it blah blah blah.
I will carry on as I would like to sell more than I have spentIf I can.
Forgot to say a lot of our Chazzers are open on Sunday (Lady told me they get loads of donations with people dropping off what they havent sold at a bootsale)
