I just went to the local St Vincent's shop in Westcliff. I bought an M&S red jumper for my husband, a Zara black jumper for me and an Aldo gold clutch bag to wear out on NYE. Also a teddy for my dog.
I see what Rosa Damascena meant about the joss stick scent in the shop. I didn't notice it the other times I've been in there!7 -
Friday I popped into our local cs just to wish them a Merry Christmas and found a pink fleece gilet as new and a pair of Dash jeans that are in perfect condition £6.50 I think for the two.All that clutter used to be money6

I've watched Rebus on TV - with John Hannah and Ken Stott - but haven't read any books.
I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
