Shop Charity in '23!

This lovely Radley bag for a tenner. It’s in good condition and quite big 10 x 11 inches. It would have been rude not to.

Lovely bag @Potternerd. I had a mooch around our local CSs at lunchtime. Even went in the Everything £1 Scope shop which I never go in as it's pretty slim pickings. Didn't get anything but was tempted by a Mia and Tui cerise handbag with removable inner bag for £6.50 in CR. The bag itself looked clean enough inside and out but the corners had gone, so I left it, as wouldn't be able to resell for much more.

Saw a nice navy/white midi dress for me in PDSA. I left it but might get it on Saturday if it's still there. It's only from Tu but was £6.99 - a bit steep - I'm getting really tight in my old age!

I'm on a chazzer famine right now... I had some surgery 2 weeks ago & can't drive until next weekend, so while I'm off work I am consoling myself with car boot envy and plotting the route for the Great Chazzer Charabanc Excursion 😁

At my charity shop tomorrow.
Wonder if there will be anything!

Hope you're not feeling too bad @Floss. Put my name down for a ticket on the excursion, won't you?

Perhaps you could console yourself with a bit of online charity shopping? My favourite is Oxfam, especially for the books but I got a lovely Monsoon top there once.

I don't find the online sites terribly user-friendly, and I quite like the hands-on experience of shopping in person.

I hope you're up and about soon Floss and the surgery was nothing too serious

Chaz famine here too. The prices round me are getting out of hand - I'm seeing them charging above full price for stuff more and more so I'm leaving them to it. Very reluctantly.

I just read that there was a fire above the Hamlet Court Road HARP (homeless charity) store last weekend in Westcliff-on-Sea. They urgently need donations as a lot of things were damaged. Hmm, I am not sure what I have as I just dropped off a couple of donation bags over the past few weeks. I might look around my house again as there probably are things I could donate to them. I might go and drop it off at one of their other shops tomorrow.

 Week long chazza famine here too!  Broken today with a £1 find of a  tan leather belt in the community chazza.  High hopes of some boot sale bargains tomorrow….😁

Finally starting on moving Himself's clothes almost a year on. The sunlight means line drying is easy & the charity shop staff are so nice about me lugging in bags of fresh-washed line-dried stuff. (They can smell.) Some of his t shirts will be donated next I'm south at mum's - I don't want to see them locally.. Age Concern are open Every Single Day this Bank Holiday weekend! (And taking donations daily. No excuses.)
