I had a spare 5 mins before the dentist today so popped into the shared Shared Space opposite the theatre, and picked up 3 books at 70p each (inflation!!). @Wednesday2000 - the former Havens chazzer in Westcliff (next to the small Tesco) will be a St Vincent's, coming soon. Looks like it's almost ready, I look forward to having a look round.

I just saw the shop when I walked past. I don't know how I hadn't noticed it. It does look almost ready.

I also popped into SS as I wanted to look for autumnal decor and didn't really find anything. Some tea lights in red and white containers but they look more Christmassy and I did get a bowl that I might put artifical pumpkins in to display. I bought my dog a teddy bear to chew and a pen holder for my desk. All came to £6.50.

I am going to York and Brighton next month and I'm looking forward to trying the chazzers in new areas. The woman I'm meeting in Brighton is a big charity shop fan so I'm sure we will be browsing through the shops there.

York also has The Vintage Store on Parliament Street which has some interesting stuff though a bit more expensive than most charity shops. Good to see things finding new homes though.

I will try and look out for it.:)

I've spied a new charity shop opening on our high street soon (Northallerton) so foresee checking them out. Its a childrens charity but I cant remember the name - not one of the biggies though...

I think it's Martin House Hospice. We will probably land on their doorstep at the same time!  

Any idea when it opens?

I've only seen 'opening soon' signage, not set date as appeared. I wonder how they'll do for volunteers...

Cherryfudge the Denby isn't patterned it's the Regency Green shaped like an urn one. I bought all mine from the CS with a matching teapot but there were only 5 mugs. I also got 6 cups and saucers to match and I think 3 different jugs. It was sometime last year and I think I paid around £5 for the box full.

Its much more thrilling than talking Love Island influencer nonsense (to me anyway!)

My 85p jumper I fear was a wasted purchase, It seems very out of shape. The shoulders don't seem to sit right for the body (very wide across the shoulders and a lot of excess under the armpits but very high up but the body part is a lot smaller - 'muffin top' top springs to mind.

 I'm starting to think it may have been tumble dried too high and has misshapen.

Picked up a BNWT pair of  Lands End trousers in a sand shade from the 99p shop in Otley yesterday.  Earlier in the week I  saw a beeooootiful MaxMara black linen jacket in a chazza BNWT and originally priced at £200, chazza price £45.  Didn't have time to try it on there and then but it has been stuck in my head  ever since.  Will be popping back tomorrow for a good squiz if it's still there but not too hopeful.

I went into a shop called The Cornerstone yesterday. I picked up a pair of red and white curtains (as I was looking for a door curtain for winter) and an orange glass dish and a yellow dish for displaying my autumn decorations for my home. I also got a red Next blouse and a framed picture of Hockely wood in winter with snowfall. That all came to £11.

I was looking for autumn decor but I found a fleecy dark green throw and a dark red pillow at a homeless charity shop today and I also saw a nice glass vase by the counter. That was all £7.50.

I had been looking for a coat with a hood for winter, but the assistants said the coats would be out in the stores in a few weeks. I did see a blue padded gillet with a hood but I don't think I need to wear something that makes me look bigger on top! It did look like it would be warm though.
