Woodbridge, Suffolk chazzers gifted me:
Nobody’s Child black and white dress £3.25 - Wood Green Shop
Friends Like These red dress £2.50 - Elizabeth Hospice
both to be sold on for my charity fundraising efforts
Mind shop - 100% cashmere Boden wrap/cardigan for £7. It’s bobbly but can sort that with my bobble off gadget.
