Let Thrift shopping thrive in 25!

@Brie @DigForVictory Yep, the pink/blue one is silk. 👍 The label belongs to the orange/yellow one.

This week’s trip to Otley provided a pair of plain, straight legged, black wool mix trousers by Brook Taverner, lined to below the knee, 99p and a pair of  low heeled beige shoes in exactly the same shade as the recently purchased  L K Bennett coat for £2.99 as they were in the ‘quality’ section😊

My desktop pooter ‘died’ yesterday and despite my best efforts I cannot resurrect it, (11 yr old iMac no longer supported with system updates).  Common sense tells me it’s time for a new one🥵 rather than a repair.  I’ve seen one at a good price on Amazon Resale…( box damaged, contents immaculate). .Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with this section of Amazon?  Sorry for going o/t…..just trying to save money on a big purchase!!!

I've never heard of this book or the writer.  Can you give a bit more info on it as I can't see anything online other than the fact it is for sale.

@Miró. Have had great success with Amazon resale & the A warehouse.

I was so happy to pick up a pristine copy of Bill's "Cook, Eat, Smile" for just 20p - what a delight! Although it's not vegetarian, the book clearly celebrates fresh seasonal produce and I am encouraged to try its recipes as we head into winter.

💡 Oooooooh…..is that Bill of Bill’s Kitchen?  If it is I shall have to keep my eyes open for a copy!

Thanks @beanielou for the reassurance re Amazon Resale….have taken the plunge!  At least returns & refunds are easy if necessary.

I bought a Windows laptop from Amazon Resale a couple of years ago and it's still going strong.  There wasn't a mark on it, just a damaged box.

This is it - appears to be selling for £3.50 on Fleabay:


(There are several Bill's restaurants dotted around London).
