Buying preloved clothes, shoes etc

[Fab Foodie]

When we next see a photo of @Fab Foodie dressed like an Action Man we'll know why now.

Wot? Man at Military as opposed to Man at Millets?

My pre-crusted Y fronts seem attract a lot of interest on ebay. Theres one buyer in particular who lives near Porton Down...

Spotted yesterday in a local(ish) charity store I'd say, more than a shop. A mere 30 dabs and no biscuit crumbs etc down the back and under the bum cushions found after I'd checked. This'd do me fine, but it would be too big for my flat and it wouldn't get round the bend in my stairs.

My other bargain was a £30 Daks business suit. Again a justifiable £400 new. Wore it to work for a few years

Apart from the occasional moment of madness I've worn good quality second-hand suits for work for years. My most recent is a G&H off the peg three-piece suit with a second pair of trousers in grey pinstripe that was being sold by the original owner because he'd put on too much weight and it no longer fitted. It looks unworn and cost a princely £75 including postage via eBay, as opposed to over £1,000 if I'd bought the same items new.

I bought a decent wool Marks & Spencer light grey and very dark brown dogtooth jacket from a charity shop on Saturday. It was only £4. I wore it in a pub yesterday. When you pay 4 quid for an item you don't have that 'mustn't get it marked' thought all the time. Putting elbows on what could be wet tables doesn't faze me!
