I think if I found an unused leather Boden bag for £5.95, I wouldn't really care if anyone thought I looked like a berk.

You'd need to get in the queue after me!

Fab bargain. Well done. :T

Agreed! I would happily look like a berk for a bargain like that and would probably have told the whole of Parliament about it, too! :rotfl:

Ahah!
You sound like me.

I happily tell anyone that the item they've just complimented me on came from a charity shop and cost £x.xx.

Unless the poster is actually Teresa May in which case it really might be a little embarrassing.
And if Laredouter really is TM, can I suggest she gets rid of those hideous chunky necklaces...

Nah.
If there was an unused leather Boden bag for £5.95 that had been donated to a charity shop within a 10 mile radius of me, it would never have made it to the window.

Great buy Laredouter.


Yesterday I got a Crane winter cycling jersey, it is a mans small but fits me just fine, orange and black with reflective bits and looks unworn, I paid £2.99. I also got a set of 5 stainless steel bowls with lids (plastic lids unfortunately but they won't be in contact with food) for storage at home and camping.


DD got a lovely pyjama style top in a grey blue with a white stripe, it's only Primark but we both really loved it, £1.49 I think it was.

wow what a bag bargain I wouldn't have been in the queue for it as would have seen ut and probably had a turn

never heared of the makes but I got a bnwt summer dress and jacket yesterday also a box of placemats....the later seem to take such a lot of abuse in our house so have started picking them up when cs shopping and replace when they look dire

happy hunting

Laredouter

Haha thanks guys! I absolutely love it. It goes with 95% of my wardrobe as well so I am going to get a lot of use out of it!

Haha Pollycat, if I was Theresa May, I definitely wouldn't be wearing those hideous necklaces

I had the dubious honour of being seated behind Jacob Rees Mogg in the Barry Room. I wonder whether he would have been impressed by my new bag

Her stylist probably makes her wear them as a 'statement piece' as they attract the attention of the camera.

And as for the bag...if I had an inkling of it, it wouldn't have got that far, either! :rotfl:

To be fair, I wouldn't give a stuff about his opinion as he has some Strange Views About Things. I would have been more tempted to hit him with it, assuming that no damage would come to the bag as a result! :rotfl:

I cannot stand the self-serving twit. You must have shown remarkable restraint!

I called into a local cat rescue shop yesterday and they had a gorgeous Boden raincoat. It was navy blue with a white design at the top, 3/4 of the way down were some red stripes off differing widths going around the coat, then the bottom was navy with a white ditsy print, it was a sort of waxed waterproof finish with a bright red fleece lining. Also had a detachable hoods, full zip and poppers and straps on the wrists. It looked seemingly unworn and was £25. I loved it and can't stop thinking about it now.

This is a sign that you really want it, so go back for it. If it's still there and you buy it, it was meant to be.

*Although that is more than I would pay for a BN coat in a chazzer, you have my blessing :A
