            I'll get you some birch twigs for when you go wrong, you will probably beat yourself up more than we will have the heart to.
 I shall get 'Did you REALLY need it' ready to paste on yourthread whenever I am on the forum (and maybe the odd 'well done, you are doing great')

 - Charity shopNeed a new suit for work. Any ideas on how to do that cheaply?
 - shopping village.
 - ebay
 - Email all your mates/everybody at work and organise a "clothes swapping party - nearly new"
 - Dress agency (posh stuff that posh people are selling 2nd hand)
 But is it NEED, or just WANT?
 Really?0

            Def a need as I have to have one for work and don't have one at the moment. Remembered there's a few good dress agencies round here though so going to try them first. No spend today as I haven't been out!Lightbulb moment 28th December 2007 :idea:
