Shop Charity Store in '24!

@Floss and @Brie, those sound great, and might just justify a bit more charity shopping.

@Floss, nice bit of reverse shopping there! A cruise sounds exciting. Where are you going?

Rotterdam, Orkney, the Faroes and then Iceland, hopefully to see the Northern Lights.

Oh salopettes !!!  I need some of those for Norway I think!!!  In about 9 weeks I think!!

Keep en eye on the middle aisles, that's where these came from 😉

Another find in a St Gemma's shop, Meanwood this time.  A pair of BNWT M & S 'Luxury' wool & cashmere trousers in grey.  In the chazza sale at £3.99, (previously £9.99).  Ahem, they are 1 - 2 sizes too big but I thought I could see a way of altering them by taking them in from waist to knee, then realised they are fully lined so, erm, I may be some time

Very nice too, @Miró! If you pop across to Fashion on the Ration 2024, there's almost bound to be someone who can advise. They are far too good not to wear (still with the labels on, too).

A friend spotted this on FB and had some strange need to mention it to me.....

....I reminded her that I don't currently have a cat.

But surely it's temptation to acquire one?

Frankly I don't need to be tempted.  I'd go get one right now if I could!!!  (well no I wouldn't. I'd wait until the kitchen fitting is finished as there will be too much bang crashing for a recently rehomed puss - I'm not a complete monster!!! (no matter what the OH says))

And I don't think I'll ever have enough windows!

I love that.  Scarves have been my weakness, a friend I visited recently reminded me she had five of mine and I suggested she just keep them. If I haven't missed them  I said and then as i drove away I remembered my favourite old gold pashmina was one of the five and momentarily felt sad but then honestly she borrowed them to see which would go best with her dress for Royal Ascot which was in June and if I had really missed it I would have asked for it back before she thought to mention them.  The colours all suit her and it was nice to gift them.

That's a good way of thinking about it, and you could always ask to borrow back, if you see a need to.
