@Miró I'm meeting my son in Otley on Saturday, could you tell me which chazzers are where please? We're meeting at O'Deli as he's GF.

Ooooh!  The two best ones are St Gemma’s (the 99p shop) and The 20p Shop, (for books & cards but not strictly a chazza).  There is also another newer one, not on the map, PDSA, further along Kirkgate. Being a small market town the people are very friendly so just ask if you get lost. Hope this helps and do report back.

Got a b/n M&S Collection black skirt from St Gemma’s today, (99p of course😁)

Thank you! Will report back 😁

After being so down about the offerings in our local chazza's I popped into one on the way home today and immediately spotted a really nice M&S Collection navy patterned blouse.  I've got a similar stripy one already which is great for putting on for the odd meeting and I've often thought it would be good to have a different one.  Looks new and even looked good on top of my t-shirt, and only £4 (reduced from £4.50).  Had a quick look at the dresses and spotted a brand new Next Emma Willis dress in blue for a fiver - tags still on showing original price £58 so nabbed that.  Then as I was making my way to the till, I did my tidying bit and picked up a couple of things from the floor to put back on the rail and one of them turned out to be a lovely orangey silky dress for a fiver in my size!

Pic of the blue Emma Willis one below, sorry for size of photo.  And there's a link here to the orange one is by Niza - turns out it was from the 2024 collection and you can still buy it for £158!  Can't find the M&S blouse online to show you, but its lovely condition, looks great on top of my t-shirt too.  My current one was around £12 in the M&S sale (they are about £25 new).  So around £250 worth for £14.  Well chuffed and no more moaning from me

Fabulous buys there @SandyShores - you have clearly been struck by chazzer-karma!!

Love the look of the Emma Willis dress, but I always struggle with crossover/wrap dresses. Tops gape and skirts fly open with the mere hint of a breeze!  Doesn’t stop me buying them though, ( and then regretting it!) 🫢

I got a book, a Joe Brown dress, a necklace and a glass blue and white vase from Malta from the Cornerstone today.

I usually find that Miro, my 36 double dees don't normally suit, but I like that this one has two really good ties that thread though and round the back so I was able to pull it firmly closed and supportive DD  And the Niza one has two ties inside and two ties outside - very secure

Thanks @Rosa_Damascena long overdue chazzer-karma indeed!!
