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.

PS - there's a new thread for 2023:
Shop Charity in '23! - Page 3 — MoneySavingExpert Forum

Jump aboard.

Who knows what people will have found before midnight tomorrow!

Sorry.
Didn't know the new thread didn't start until 00:01 on 01/01/2023.
Just trying to help someone.
My bad.

Perhaps some forms of autism lead to a literalist view of  purchases being in 2022 or 2023.
Others presumably ignore the year and just post in whatever thread they find first.

Perhaps that's a bit deep for a lighthearted thread. The majority have found the new thread & are posting in it.

Perhaps it's also somewhat rude when I was just trying to make sure people didn't get lost on the old thread.

We all have good intentions, I'm sure.
All sorts can be friends.

Not many good intentions when you refer to autism.
Shame on you.

Well all of the shops are shut now - except for those online - so let's just shuffle into the new year.

Have a lovely evening everyone and let's all get together for a catchup in 2023.

My challenge for this year is to have a net loss of clothing over the year.

...
...

Sorry to bump the old thread but I thought I'd pop up with an update on my net loss of clothing challenge. 
I must say it's enlightening to write everything down, and I have excluded sportswear as I discovered running in the Spring and needed to get kitted out (all from the CSs and jumble sales though).

Final scores: 83 items in (  keep that to yourselves please; I've not admitted it to anyone else) but 96 out so challenge completed! I did also keep track of how much I'd spent on all my new goodies but neglected to note what I'd made selling the old stuff on- that's an enormous eye-opener let me tell you. 

Happy hunting for 2023- see you on the other thread
