Much of today was spent rifling through somebody else's rubbish. I had attempted to do some rubbish rifling yesterday, but my beautiful Italian friend is more of a shoe shopper than a hand-me-downs shopper. Plus she talks too...

liquorice @liquorice (3887) 14 Jun 08

Throwing Away Your Old Bras? Stop!

Phaedra_Scythe @Phaedra_Scythe (3325) 29 May 08

No really! I'm someone who gives all kinds of stuff to my local charity shops. Even if I'm not sure if they'll want it - I figure it's better to take the chance than just throw it away. If they don't want it then...
