I do browse this shop occasionally but usually steer clear of the clothing because i think its overpriced seeing as its donated clothing. I have seen items marked up at more than i have seen the clothing on sale new but at the end of the day its all goes to a good cause. They usually have a selection of gifts, secondhand and new, toys, books, dvds and usually loads of videos as do all the shops - noone wants them anymore. The only thing that puts me off about this shop is the prices so i usually only browse unless i see a real bargain which isn't very often.

The racks are tightly packed in but the staff are friendly enough. I wouldn't want to have to actually try on clothes or find a new outfit - it's the place to buy stuff without having to queue for 30 minutes like at other shops. The clothes are well organised, sizes are in order, most of the range is available and despite it being uber-small it is also super convenient.

Camp Hopson's…read morereturns policy comes from the position that the customer must always be at fault.i.e They must have washed the garment at too high a temperature or at the wrong cycle. I find treating the customer this way is contemptuous Today I returned a Masai cotton top which I bought a year ago, yes I know you are thinking well you have had it a year, yes and I would say the same if I had worn it every week and got my wear out of it, when in fact I had worn it only 5 times. I pointed this out to the store supervisor but she wasn't interested in that. She just kept saying well you have had it a year. Needless to say I did not get a refund but then knowing how they deal with returns I was not expecting one. Whilst I am on the subject I find the staff on the concession counters abysmal, they might a well have a do not disturb sign around their neck.

Dunelm Mill is fantastic!…read more In Swindon they have a massive shop over two floors, selling everything household-y from bedding to picture frames to curtain fabric and that plasticy fabric that you use as a wipe-clean tablecloth. It is like an Aladdin's cave full of lovely stuff to look at, and the prices are pretty good which means you can buy as well as look! Sometimes the wait to be served in the fabric department can be a bit tedious, but most of the time they are pretty efficient. There is a cafe and toilets on the upstairs floor, where they also have picture frames, paintings and ornamental things such as vases. There is a lift if you cant manage the stairs. A really great shop, I wish there was one a bit nearer Abingdon where I live!
