Have a lovely holiday Miro. My spare bedroom has the bed piled with clothes at the moment. I will sort out and weed out!
Not sure if I posted previously but did find a nice long dress in the local cancer hospice CS. Black with a border print of mainly hot pink and the same print used across the bust £4 and long enough for me!

I took seven big rubble sacks of assorted "stuff" to our local Hospice warehouse/shop a couple of weeks ago, while decluttering because my bedroom was having a major makeover, so I've been steering clear of temptation recently.

However I did pop in there the other day, mainly out of curiosity to see whether any of my old stuff was on sale . While browsing I spotted a wicker waste paper basket priced £2, which I talked myself out of. However I since decided that my refurbed room needs... a wicker waste paper basket!

Went back today, and :T it was still there, and now priced £1 :j . Having looked online anything vaguely similar is around £15 :eek: so I'm well pleased. Must NOT get back into bad habits though!

Have a lovely time in Greece too!

I'm quite proud of myself as I've managed to pack everything I wanted to take in a smaller suitcase than I normally use. :j

I've recently begun helping out in a charity shop and it's dangerous! So many bargains to be had! If you have a few spare hours a week and want to get all the best bargains, volunteering is a win/win situation

Hiya.....not always the case, I'm afraid, about snaffling up the bargains if you work there! My local hospice chazza will not allow any volunteer staff to purchase any items at all. Even things deemed fit only for 'ragging'.....they would rather see things destroyed than let a volunteer purchase it. Ooooh makes me so cross!!!!! :mad:

What a strange rule. I buy a lot on the days I am working but, I never price the things I am interested in, neither do I serve myself. I always ask the manager to come to the till and take my money and I go to the customer side of the counter while the transaction is made.

This week (and not all from where I work) I have bought, a Cannon camera still in box clearly unused £5. Beaded dress, flapper style, probably will never wear it but it's beautiful £2. A Hobbs long sleeve tee £2. And a Large Dune handbag £4.

I keep an eye out for expensive toiletries, though I don't spot them too often.
Recently picked up some bumble and bumble hair serum and a mahoosive tub of Est!e Lauder youth dew perfumed body lotion( rrp £30 ) for £3, and a bottle of l'Occitane body lotion
Best surprise spot-I was telling another chazza obsessed friend I really wanted a Kantha throw, then spotted one The very next day for £3 -amazing coincidence

Thats the beauty of preconditioning. Or as I prefer to call it, chazzer-magic

Hence my faith in the great God, P'Interest :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The trick there is to get a friend to come in and buy it for you!
