Well done, it just goes to show we can all learn from our mistakes, I bet you wouldn't have even thought of a charity shop for your xmas party clothes before IVA I know I wouldn't have before IVA. Enjoy the party

Each Christmas we do secret Santa for the adults at the Christmas dinner table, last year you could only spend a £1.00. This year we've upped this to £5.00 and it must be purchased from a charity shop...that way we get a gift and the charity benefits.

I like to have a look through the rails in charity shops but hardly ever come across anything that fits! Must be a common size.

I saw a Windsmoor winter coat in a charity shop for £30 the other week and when I looked at their website, their cheapest coat is around £150. I did think about getting it as it was in my size but I am desperate to lose weight so I didn't want to buy something in a big size!! What a bargain though - maybe I should have bought it and sold it on ebay...

I also thin it can be the area that you live in as to what you find...this week I was in a nice area of Manchester and found some lovely items compared to what I find in my home town...I was very impressed.

There certainly are bargains to be had if you don't mind looking.
