Ok, this is good!

My other half has a kind of "don't need it, don't want it, won't wear it attitude" to clothes. He does not like shopping and is certainly not keen on anyone else picking stuff out for him. Aggravates his dad at times, but you know what, the "don't need it, don't want it, won't wear it" attitude is definitely hereditary. His Dad is a firm believer if you cannot buy it from a catalogue and preferably online,then you have no need of it. We are highly entertained when we call and find that he is in a mall. He is never there on his own venture, in fact he is only ever there if Mike's Mum requires him as a carrier or for a second opinion. It does not happen often but when it does we enjoy it.

On browsing round the ethical clothes options online Mike came across this site which is just great. You have got to love it. No more trawling round stores. See if they have what you need, order, giving money to a good charity and in a few days the postman brings you the items.

Such a well organised site. Only thing is that we did not find it soon enough so I pitched up tonight at my staff night out in my jeans and a nice top. Maybe, just maybe, the stuff will arrive for my next event on Saturday.
