Part two
Hello and welcome to our new blog. We are very excited to be doing this blog together, so much so its taken us all of the summer to get all our ideas in one place and get things out there on the world wide web. When we started this adventure, we decided we should introduce each other, a somewhat scary thought as I’ve no idea was the lovely Sophie will write about me so I will maybe be super gushing just in case she is more eloquent than me!
Anyway, here goes.
Sophie and I have been friends since meeting through the NCT when two of our children were babies. Over the last 5 years we have got to know each other pretty well and have discovered that we share a love of many things:
• Charity shopping
• Lidl
• Drinking to excess
• Occasionally going to church
• Gossiping
• A very sarcastic sense of humour
• Up cycling
• Being a bit crafty
• Having bonkers boys
Sophie is the cool one, she as a really fab style and always looks groovy even with wet hair on the school run. I like the word quirky but I’m not sure Sophie will! Now a full time mum of Edward age 5 and Henry age 3, she has been involved as a volunteer for the NCT and now as a Parent Governor for our infants school. In days before children, Sophie used to be an academic librarian, (I may now find I’ve not really understood her job for the last 5 years – I did listen Sophie honest!) We live quite close to each other in a small market town in Cambridgeshire and now as our children are at school and playgroup we have been able to get together more as grown-ups rather than parents.
Our passion for charity shops has really taken off since the beginning of 2014. We often get together to show each other our purchases or talk about funny incidents which had happened whilst shopping. Often we can be heard saying “It only cost £2” and delighting in our frugal shopping.
So why do a blog? Well friends of ours have often asked us how we are so successful in our charity shop shopping so we thought we would share our views and thoughts on how to get the best out of your local charity shops
