How much do I LOVE Oxfam's new online charity shop!!!!
Check it out at: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/
It came at just the right time for me. Friday was payday and I have been battling a serious urge to splurge. I was just wondering whether I might succumb to the cheap n cheerful lure of Primark and Matalan. Then - ahh! - came Oxfam's online shop.
It has a whole range of clothes, household items, books, music...you name it. The postage is pretty cheap, you can add a cash donation to your order and you can even Giftaid it!! I ordered on Friday and my first purchase (beautiful skirt from Kew) has already arrived.
I couldn't be a happier bunny.
Okay, it's still rampant consumerism, but the fact that it's all for charidee makes me feel a tad better...

Gone shopping?
Or has no new shoes changed our habits?

I'm struggling to get this link to work (hence having posted and then deleted) but here goes again... on the subject of ethical shopping - did you read this called 'Can shopping save the planet?': www.guardian.co.uk/environment/

climatechange.consumerandethicalliving - I like the bit right at the end about Buy Nothing Day! Perhaps there's scope for a Methodist involvement this year...
