I got a white shirt yesterday that I need to try on as part of a fancy dress costume.
Fingers crossed it fits.
It's Falmer, that takes me back!

Me too, there was a big factory outlet at a Rayleigh industrial estate back in the days when Naomi Campbell was modelling for them.

I had a quick chazzer excursion and came out with a brilliant haul for £10.

Mugs, trinket box, jewellery holder etc as below:


Per Una thick cardigan in prep for winter (although in truth I have far too many) and a pair of black skinny jeans:



The total includes the obligatory 4 books for £1 including a Hans Rosenberg which I was particularly thrilled about!

That is lovely...let me know if you ever wish to find it a new home!

Tootled round all the chazza shops in Otley today but found nothing.  On my way to the bus I called into the last one....'Cats Protection' and bingo...a star find!  A pair of Jigsaw tailored trousers in a toffee shade in a wool mix with stretch and appearing brand new.  Just checked and the RRP is £130 and they are selling preloved on FleaBay for £27.50.  Price to me.....£3.99 and.... they are possible the best fitting pair of trousers I have come across in ages!!  Will be looking out for this brand in future.  So pleased.

I'm planning a very quick trip to St Albans this month so will be pushed for time. I can see there are plenty of chazzers, which should I prioritise

I had to walk up to the chemists to collect a prescription late this afternoon so on the way there I called in at the Oxfam bookshop but didn't see anything I really fancied so came away empty handed.

I'm going to visit a friend in Banbury hospital tomorrow morning so I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for shops I should visit while I'm there. I know it's very short notice so I've done a bit of searching online and there seem to be several quite close to one another in the centre which sounds do-able. I'll report back tomorrow evening.

I had a day out in Suffolk this week - sadly couldn't stop (man in the car ruining my fun) but drove past several chazzers in Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. Note to self: next time will leave it to a girl's trip.

Some bargains from this week:

• a Cotton Trader's thick jersey summer midi-dress, looked unworn, £4 (in the wash atm but can't find a pic online)
• a pair of insulated Thermal Trespass ?ski trousers (also in the wash!), again looked new for £3. Perfect for keeping warm and ironically bought on one of the hottest days of the year! They are a size too large and I look like the Michelin man in them, but for less than the price of a coffee its going to save on my heating bills this winter:

From Bedale car boot this morning, a Barbour Scuttle quilted jacket, seller said was b/n and unworn, mine for £30, RRP £199. Is a size too big so it’s longer and not so fitted on me.  Now wondering if I can cope with the Thirsk booty this afternoon in this heat.
