Argh! Another victim to The Scarf Bug? Ye gods, it’s more hazardous than this years ‘flu (which is a real swine BTW), and noone’s working on a vaccine.

I must have natural immunity to the  scarf bug as I rejected a huuuuge 'Gucci' lookee likee scarf yesterday, (£2.99 in Sue Ryder) and a purple.'pashmina' (99p today in St Gemma's).  Also had a squiz in the big new Barnardo's in Otley.  Not impressed, prices were reasonable but the quality of the donated goods was very poor, (bobbles, moth holes, deodorant stains and.....gulp...one woman found a snotty tissue in a coat pocket...ick!!

I didn't buy a scarf today, not sure if that's any consolation to you?

What I did get were a couple of books, a chenille winter hat / scarf / glove kit, light necklace, a brooch and an Oliver Bonas mug:


Also some charity lapel pins, BHF's this year is particularly nice:


Eta: I realise now I did buy a scarf after all! But this is functional rather than dressy.

Husband starting new job very soon so I was chuffed to get him a new Land's End laptop bag 20% off for 19.99

Re: scarf bug, for a time, while suffering from stress, I started developing aloepecia areata ie random bald spots. I went mad for scarves, beanies and more. My hair did start regrowing so I gave most of them to a charity shop.  Kept my Easily Distracted By Cows beanie and a couple of shemaghs.

@Coxy11 - they are great finds! 

Some pics of my latest jewellery and winter accessory set from yesterday:

And my Clemente Ribeiro anorak (the "go faster" stripe is a seam and does not appear on the outside, and it a a very flattering fit on) and Roman cardi from last week, £5 for the pair:

Ooh very nice haul @Rosa_Damascena, I particularly love the sparkly bow brooch - I do so love a brooch.

Well I faced my CS trouser buying ick today. The black M&S trousers were still in the hospice shop but now reduced from £5.99 to £3.75 so I thought I'd give them a go. Having just tried them on (perfect fit) I can honestly say they are the nicest trousers I now own. Pulled off the paper tag and popped into the wash bin, but thought I'd better check the zipped up pockets first. Yup - a (used once) tissue - the horror!!!! Glad I checked!

@Coxy11
I forgive you.  Now do you want me to PM you my address so you can pop the tulip one in the post to me?????

There is nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly-laundered chazzer bargain, ready for its first outing! Although I am a little neglectful when it comes to ironing 

I am after another microwaveable saucepan, am bound to find one in a chazzer soon enough. I had a wander round Poundstretcher earlier, they are £3.50 each! I'm sure I bought my 2-pack in the 99p store back in the day. Everything has become so expensive, it is ridiculous.
