I have a Burberry bag. It was from the Burberry shop in Nicosia in Cyprus, it worked out at £175. The same one was £475 in Selfridges!!

Although my favourite shoes were only £20 from Dolcis!! Mad I know!!!! But I totally agree with you Willow, it happens a lot to me when I go into Ossy Mills. I go just for a wander and end up spending a fortune, on stuff I could happily live without! (Although I couldn't live with shoes or bags

)

Willow it is 54" wide and i got it from the Bankrupt Shop near the Hesketh arms in Preston....they had some lovely, lovely material and the most expensive is £6.99...and that is because it is 108" wide...everything else is £3.50.....header tape 30pence a metre....som of their fabrics have been reduced in the sale to 50pence a metre...mine was in the sale for £1 per metre......I was well chuffed I can tell you.

Hate shopping! Buying clothes is a chore - shoes are even worse.

Except, my weakness is cute notebooks - I haven't ever finished one despite writing endless notes and lists. So I can easily get lost in a stationary shop.

WillowTheWhisp · 16-01-2007, 23:50

Oh I love stationery!

We once went shopping for new towels.... came back with a massive 4 poster bed!!!

I LOVE food shopping especially around a good market like Bury or the one in Palma, Mallorca or even teh one off Las Ramblas in Barca. Clothes shopping is hit or miss with me I either find loads of stuff I like or I can't find anything.

Now Julie.... show her a shoes and handbags shop and I'm in TROUBLE!
