Charity shopping

[watervole]

 I hadn't expected charity shops in general to affect me, but I went on a stroll around charity shops in Wimborne (something I always do when I'm there) and it's definitely left me feeling a bit jittery.

Some of them had annoyingly loud music and the PDSA had a perfume dispenser (I left in a hurry - making sure to complain - as those things often trigger my asthma), but the main problem was simply being in a charity shop.

I hope this wears off, as I get most of my clothes in charity shops as a rule.

Thanks for the understanding.

I don't think it's good or bad shops per se. The better ones are just as bad, perhaps more so as I contemplate volunteering in them. I expect at some point, I will volunteer somewhere, but finding the perfect shop needs thought. I usually look for a shop that is well run, but with a poor book section.

At the moment, though, I'm staying clear of volunteering in charity shops.

Maybe I'll see if the Dorset Wildlife Trust need any office volunteers.
