It is two weeks before Charity Shop Challenge. I am nervous. I am also pretty sure that the girls won't be able to sway me towards buying from Charity.
Snob? Maybe a little.
Books, DVD, videos from such outlets are fine. I've purchased these before... from the one on Clayton Street, Newcastle that distinctly separates the books from the clothes...
Dresses. Forgive me, but I prefer new. Shoes. I think I'd cry, after being a little sick. Extreme, but true. I hate feet and I certainly don't want my toes going where other (unknown) toes have gone before.
Because of my anxiety towards our group outing, I decided to pop into the British Heart Foundation. Today. Alone. It's a lovely Charity. I once did I sponsored skip for them and raised the most amount of money in my class. They gave me some swish skipping ropes. Pink. With blue handles. Lush.
I thought I may find a nice necklace, or something small. You have to start somewhere. One step at a time. But the smell was over powering. I lasted about 2 mins in the shop.
Good luck girls and let the challenge begin.

Laura you are hilarious!
I dont know if its just me but what I like most about buying second hand clothes is you're wearing something with a history! How exciting! Wheres it been? Whats it seen? And I like to imagine things, like I have a lovely pair of mary janes and I think aww I bet a cute old lady wore these to a tea dance or something. lush! why not? :D
Love Sammy xx
Ahhh Sammy you're sooo lush - maybe I need a brighter outlook on life - when I think of your mary janes, I think fantastic, mary janes, my fave... when I hear they belonged to an old lady i think... arghhh someone else's bunions.... !!!!
maybe I need to join one of those groups with people who can't look at spiders or those who wash their hands too much??
