Favourite shops, online and off

I thought I'd start a thread where we can list our favourite places to buy simple things or things that should be simple and use it as a sort of reference guide.

My favourites for shoes, are moshulu, a small firm in Devon that make beautiful shoes for British shaped feet, they're a bit expensive, but they last a long time so are worth it. The other place I sometimes get shoes from is Hotter, mostly I get my walking boots from them as their shoes have gone a bit aggy, the boots are good as the womens sizes go up to an 8, they do wide fit too.

One of the shops I sometimes use for clothes is Laganlook.co.uk, mostly for tops as their trousers are about 3 or 4 inches to short for me

If I wanted wool for knitting or anything else I'd go to wool couture, pure wool and lovely colours, although they seem to do more crafty stuff than wool for clothes making, it's expensive, but lovely, another British company.

For bedding I'm a TKMAXXX girl, good quality cotton sheets, pillow slips and duvet covers at bargain prices, I have some pillow slips from them that are 100% cotton with a 500 thread count, they're so soft, they were only £7:99 a pair.

  • I’m a bit boring, my favourite shops are Screwfix and Toolstation, I use them quite a lot. I’m able to browse with their apps and make an order at home.

    I often don’t know the technical names for electronic or plumbing items. I also don’t have to try and explain and then get stressed, Everything has a photo of it and an order number.

    I check in on arrival with the app, just get called and given a bag with my items in it, minimal interaction, stress or anxiety.

  • You'd love it here, we have a glory hole called stermat, it's part DIY with drill bits big enough to make a hole you could crawl through, to teaspoons, gardening stuff and all sort of totally random stuff, it makes Home Bargains look like it was made for children. My dad had to make an excuse to go there at least once a week and knew where everything was better than the staff, he was like a little boy!

  • You have a  beautiful way with words, about 2 weeks ago I was taken to a place called Trego Mills, I imagine it’s very similar, it’s massive and sells everything, I thought it just sold old people, they seemed to have a lot of them in the shop.
