    I bought a Zara jumper and another teddy for my dog. £4.50. I'm not sure if that is particularly good value as I don't shop in Zara, but it looked in very good condition. It was stripy too and I was out looking for a stripy top.

    I went into an office bathroom and saw B&H handwash again today! Black Pepper and Ginseng.:p

    I'm off for a proper search around the CS shops tomorrow, I will hit at least 6 shops tomorrow!

    Does she really hate her granny or something? :D

    There's still plenty of time, I'd encourage her to make something and give it to her. Something like this is easy enough, and a better use of the cash:

    ...** 'The Archers' reference!

    Just as an aside - we went to a local gin distillery event at the weekend, and I felt as though we had wandered onto the set of The Archers...lots of talk of cows, neighbouring farm gossip & the general chit-chat of rural country folk socialising!

    Looked in the local CS for DH's favourite author - no joy. It I did find a new Blue Harbour t-shirt for him for £2.99 and in the local hospice shop a BNWT red lined lace top - what particularly took my eye was that the pattern had been matched on the front and on the back ( our pet hates Miro?) In a chevron design - £5. Just right for a family lunch on Saturday ;)

    Ha! I frequently spend week-ends up in the Dales with 'country folk' friends...it really is another world! Full of smells, (sileage....ick ick, cow pats...ick ick) and as for the noise, well, (tractors/chain saws/quad bikes/sheep & assorted animals etc). Give me a nice town with pavements and just the occasional nee naw. I start to get panic attacks after about 2 days due to being away from (charity) shops! :D

    On the subject of Star Buys, my bloke has a battered leather jacket bought for £10 approx 20 years ago that he's worn every winter since (his wardrobe policy is winter: 1 coat required, summer: no coat required, therefore total number of coats owned = 1). It gets complimentary comments for its 70s cop vibe; basically he looks like he can roll over a car bonnet shouting "you're nicked, son" at any moment. A young lad working in a cafe once admired it and we told him he should be searching chazzers for similar bargains, so hopefully we created a convert there.

    :rotfl:

    My policy on coats would appear to be to own one for every occasion and every type of weather. I love coats, boots, jumpers, anything wintery really, I love winter.
