I'll dig them out at some point and take a photo. I should do a 'DM a day' instagram thing with them all. But I'm too lazy. :D

I don't think there is such a thread yet, maybe you should make one :)

THERE'S AN OXFAM ONLINE???

I also need more orange in my wardrobe.
 
I've bought another bag. The beautiful one I bought for uni is great but it's heavy with my laptop in, is cumbersome and is giving me a bad back. I don't know whether to sell it on eBay or keep it and use it as a holdall. I do still love it but it was a lot of money.

Anyway, I got this which I ordered with the other to choose between.

It's more practical and hopefully will stop my back aching. It won't fit loads of books but I can take a cotton bag for library trips as I'll have my hands free.

Look at me furiously justifying an impulse purchase just before Christmas. [emoji1]

It's the shape and strap more than the size I think.

You can often get a lot of books on Google books Looby - sometimes they have the odd page missing but on the whole it's great.

Cheers, I'll have a look, I'll need some more for next semester. [emoji4]
Renewals are now unlimited in the library and the online catalogue is pretty good. I've bought a few I'll use a lot with amazon vouchers.
 
Two pairs of black 501s ordered. I had to guess the right size - always used to get 30/32, but ordered 30R despite being a bit fatter these days. Hope they'll fit...

Advice oh sage ones...

Collected the order from a 'well known high street retailer' and thought it was a bit heavy, and wondered why it was two packages rather than one as jeans aren't that heavy. Opened them when I got home and they seem to have duplicated the order - each package had the two pairs I ordered, and each packet had an identical order slip inside. They fit so no issues in having to return them for another size.

Now, the honest upstanding citizen in me says I should tell them and take the additional pairs back...so what do you lot of wrong 'uns think? :hmm:

I guess they might be so rushed off their feet at the warehouse that they fucked up the order and accidentally printed it twice. Both packages have exactly the same order number so it must be accidental, and they've only charged me once.

Reminds me of the regular errors we used to make when I worked at a Burtons picking warehouse in Leeds back in the day.

The order confirmation is definitely what I ordered, but I was a bit pissed when I made it so possible I missed a BOGOF deal. :confused:

I suppose the grown up course of action would be to sit on two pairs until the New Year and see if they contact you. Good haul though. :)

That's what I'll do - see what happens in the next months or so. I suppose in the rush of orders at this time of year these mistakes must be fairly common - especially with clothing.
