I'm afraid I do the opposite
well, sort of. My mother is the kind of woman who cheerfully dresses herself in mismatching, clashing polyester crap that she bought for 37p off Preston market. She thinks high street prices are too high - and sometimes she has a point - but since I buy a lot of my nicer clothes second hand I don't spend nearly as much as I would if I bought them in shops, and I like to tell her how much they're worth (as opposed to what they cost me) just to see her get annoyed.

I've got some cracking things from second hand shops
but anything with a label was undoubtedly bought for me by my mum because she can't believe I'm letting the side down.

Does your mum have a store card for Sports Direct?

Nah, she's not scum like me
She's a John Lewis and M&S storecard person whereas I'd like a Primark one.

Haha, really?
for some reason I thought you were a vintage kid...
To be honest though, a Primark storecard would be utterly pointless, if you spend £50 in there you get enough clothes to last you for years!

I am all gingham and spots and vintage and that,
but a girl needs her staples, and for that £13 emergency pretend-flapper dress, there's always the 'Mark,

I once spent £120 in Primark
I'm still not sure how I managed that.

What?!
Did you buy one of everything they had?!
(berk, Tue 11 Jan 2011, 12:42, Reply)

It is easily done.
They also have a Home section.
Don't forget that. Also, some suits are as purse-bustingly expensive as £35.

£35? Surely not!
To be honest, I've never found more than three things I liked on one trip. Plus the one in Brum is a total zoo, I wouldn't even contemplate going in at the weekend.

It was pretty awesome.
