Thank you all for your kind comments on the last post. We're dashing off to look at flats in London now. Oof. I have been furiously throwing stuff out in an attempt to convince myself that there is order to the universe. And speaking of which: these are two hasty Flickr sets of stuff I'm selling or giving away - I'll add the details, prices and so on tonight.

Clothes. Mostly Monsoon-type things, nearly all size 14, and a lovely but weird coat which is the only designer thing I own but would be better on a taller person (I'm five feet). Some free, most a fiver, a couple (the jackets) eight quid. The white fluffy scarf has a story behind it which is funny and ethically thorny at the same time.

Books and music (some of them). Books range from free to three quid for the big hardbacks. CDs mostly free or a pound a pop.

If you think you might want any of this stuff, you're welcome to come and get it (this Sunday afternoon is the 'official' time, but other times good too) or just let me know and I'll work out the postage.

Right, off to the bus. It's a beautiful pearly morning. Time for the Lemmings voice: let's go!

Take a look at monsoon's website - they recycle old monsoon clothes & will (from memory) give you a £10 creit note to be used in store for them. You may want to divide into several lots in case the shop assistants read it as £10/lot though - and you may need to print out the webpage because they don't publicise it in store.

Here's the link, it's hidden in their CSR stuff - http://www.monsoon.co.uk/page/clothesforlife

looks like the only limitation is that the credits can only be /spent/ individually on new items, nothing in the t&c's about how many you can collect!

Cor! I didn't know they did that! But it's £10 off any item worth £50 or more so it's not entirely "yay! free clothes swap!" (then again if it was they'd be m3nks).

D - missed yr earlier post, but excellent London news! If you go for New Cross, that's where I live! I think it's a dump, but then again I don't go to Goldsmiths and hang out at the butchers buying sausage rolls :)

Actually it's not that bad rly, I am just fed up of it. There are two (2) good pubs! And another one if you pop down Deptford way. Deptford is much cooler :)

Well, it ain't Leafy North London, but whatevs, I'd sacrifice a lot of picturesqueness to be able to get to college (and the houses of people I know, yay!) on my bike. Which do you think are the good pubs? We need a local!

Still allows for slightly cheaper New and Shinies, which is handy :)

Oooo, that's very cool. Cheers!
