Shop Charity in '23!

Grab one and ask her. Then report back

Another set of previous bargains bought at the same time.  The slippers -£4- were barely worn, (A£di I think), and the H0tters -£6- were unworn!  I have a lot of coral and peach in my summer clothing and am looking at including tan in the autumn/spring clothing so they should fit in well 😁

Still no luck on a winter coat - I don't know what I want just that I'll know it when I see it.  🤣🤣

PS. I couldn't get the photo to load on the app, (which I've just downloaded), do I have to enable anything? Had to do it old school and e-mail photo to get it on the laptop and post.

Update on my Winnie the Pooh pictures - they're fake. Not prints though, they are pencil on good thick paper, but they've been done by someone other than the artist. The guy in the art gallery said this is a pair he sees a lot, but mine ones are less common in that they are at least actual drawings. So I've happily hung them in my hall

I'm not a techie sort @dND but this is how I do pics. I take a picture on my phone, then (still on my phone) come on this website. At the top of the box you write in there's a little square icon of a picture. Click that, then click "Choose Files", then "Photo Library". That'll take you into your photos on your phone. Tap the one you want to upload. If you've an iphone it'll say at the bottom "Show Selected". Click that and you can pick which size you want to put it up as. (I normally put medium). Then at the top right click "Done", then top right again click "Add". Does that all make sense? It sounds like a lot but it's quick once you get the swing of it.  

 I don't know what it's like on other phones but someone else might be able to correct me/modify my post if it's different.

So you now have original reproductions 😊

I've found a few things recently, one or two in the refurbished Cancer Research shop (not sure I like it as much as before though!) and some in the local children's hospice shop:  BNWT White Stuff dress, teal M&S merino sweater, emerald green M&S lambswool polo neck, maroon and white M&S skinny jeans (white ones earmarked for travel to Madeira in January),  BNWT Joules scarf (pressie for DDiL), M&S black A-line pleather midi skirt and about 10 fiction books 😊

Charity shops in Shrewsbury anyone?  I'll be there Thursday to Monday although I'm in a conference Friday afternoon and most of Saturday.  OH has gotten as far as finding out there's a "hifi" shop which means this may be an expensive trip.

Loads just off Pride Hill and on High Street and Wyle Cop. IMHO the local charity ones are nicer than the chains. Also a few on the outskirts that I haven’t visited. Lucky you: Shrewsbury is lovely: a recent discovery for us. If you’re eating out i would highly recommend the Golden Cross and Csons which are both great.

@Miró - I'm waving rather enviously across Europe to Sicily, are you visiting any of the Andrea Camilleri Inspector Montalbano series sites? I have no idea how Italians manage to look so beautifully turned out all the time and suspect it's genetic and that Brits simply don't have that gene turned on so I haven't any useful suggestions to make, sorry. If you follow YBE's suggestion do let us in on any secrets, please. 
@dND - brilliant find on the hotters, coincidentally their latest catalogue arrived here this morning so I shall be making notes of styles to look out for in the future.
@YoungBlueEyes - oh how disappointing for you not to have unearthed a gem, still they will look nice in your hall and as @Floss says they are originals plus no faffing around with insurance either.
@Floss - the M&S pleather midi skirt sounds rather like one of the outfits that this YouTube channel that I sporadically follow has picked as an autumn look, the one I mean is at 20:32.
@Brie - that does sound expensive, could you not tell him it's closed for a few days due to staff shortages or something.

That's what I tried but when I select "Choose File" it kicks me out.  I guess I'll have to go and have a look at app permissions.  😁  Thank you for confirming what should be happening.
