    There was an article in this morning's Daily Mail saying that the Oxfam website had crashed because of this. They apologised for the problems but interestingly did not actually say anyone had bought one!! I managed to get the first page up last night but they were just ordinary everday bags. However when I tried to access any other pages I was thrown off. Somebody on her mentioned the Hoxton Hotel as doing a similar thing and that the rooms probably never existed. I have managed to get a room and my daughter did. It was £1.00 and absolutely fab!! The next sale is !st July so read the Hoxton thread to pick up tips how to get one and go for it!! Now for an Oxfam Bag?

    Can get on the site now but unfortunately nothing very exciting to report....I went through them all but couldn't find anything I actually wanted to buy!
