    New to this thread but not using charity shops. Got a fat face top with tags on for a fiver Saturday. Ideal for meal out.
    I love looking around them. Got quite a few unworn items from them.

    Husband has been buying art folders for youngest on the "you never know" principle. Listening to the language as youngest exhumed assorted folders was uproarious. And a little worrying - but then I didn't actually believe we had actively breeding mammoths under the pool table.

    I believe the raving monster size (I paraphrase vigorously) retail at around £30 new (Himself acquires the good stuff not the overgrown feed sacks) while the altogether more portable A3 youngest wanted (& now has) could have cost him a mere £20 while Himself has a firm line on not paying over a fiver unless the brand name & mark can be texted to me & researched at being 3 digits minimum.

    The peace of having the right stuff at the right time!

    A BNBWTs black envelope evening bag with gold chain by Dune. Just right for cruise evenings. £3.
    All that clutter used to be money

    A good buy, but personally I hate gala nights on cruise ships. Dressing up at 6pm for what purpose, exactly? So I can strut around like a peacock-mutton combo? Dress smartly, by all means - but my days of glitz and glamour for the benefit of others is over.

    A wonderful description that made me think of the bad old days of "Surf'n'turf" menu items :rotfl:

    The glitz and glamour is for me. I was born a peacock.
