Swishing is new on me! I think it could become more addictive than the chazzer!

It's been around years, but mostly in cities.
I figure that even if it happened where I live .... nobody's my size/shape/height; I'm not "normal sized/shaped" so that other peoples' cast-offs in limited supply would ever fit anyway .... I'd never get to the point of choosing styles/fashion/colours of items.... nothing'd fit.
If 50 women walked into a room with a bag full of their unwanteds .... how many of those women would be your height/size/shape/age and then ... fashion.
It mostly happens for people aged, say, 30-45, 5'6" to 5'9" ... with quite a few hefty moos in there (er, I mean "strong boned").0 -
Well it's ideal for me then. I have a large frame (wide shoulders and hips) but at BMI 22 cannot be described as fat.PasturesNew wrote: »It mostly happens for people aged, say, 30-45, 5'6" to 5'9" ... with quite a few hefty moos in there (er, I mean "strong boned").
PN your negative mindset is robbing you of many good things in life. Half the pleasure of a treasure hunt is unearthing something you love!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Speaking personally, I can't see it being preferable to browsing through a charity shop.
I don't particularly like 'party-style' events.0 -
The advantage as I see it is no outlay. The collateral damage is the charity shops being denied my donationsSpeaking personally, I can't see it being preferable to browsing through a charity shop.

I can see that advantage but I don't really have any issue with the amount I spend in charity shops.VfM4meplse wrote: »The advantage as I see it is no outlay. The collateral damage is the charity shops being denied my donations0 -
Yes. Some friends and I had a black bin bag party a few weeks back. I got a brand new pair of jeans with the tags still on amongst other things. Anything left over after went to the charity shop.0
