Fuck that self indulgent nonce(sense) about Battereds kid. What's the best purchase you've made from a charity shop?
Alt: Have you ever donated anything awesome to charity. I've just found out that my dad has taken a load of my old star wars toys from the eighties to Oxfam, I'm off to buy them back later.

I've never bought anything from a charity shop, that I can think of.
Alt: I have donated some expensive clothes to charity, that's about it. MY mother gave almost all of our childhood stuff to other people with kids. I think she thought none of hers would ever have kids of their own. The stupid lezzer bitch.

I have donated loads of stuff over the years but I can't think of anything particularly awesome
I have bought loads too. Mainly when I see some awesome star wars stuff in the window. I used to have to wear a suit to work. I could find suits that looked they had only been worn once and then taken off again before the burial for a tenner in a charity shop and fuck it I was only wearing them to work. I also bought my absolutely gorgeous solid oak dining table and chairs from a charity shop, 60 quid, Fucking brilliant, should last me forever.
