Giving away your time and sanity and hoping to find the perfect used whatever it is is a long, long way from cheap fun. But, getting a brief glimpse into that crazy frenetic space and not getting hooked - now theres the challenge. Get out Leah while you still can. Run!

I always admire people who can buy clothes without trying them on first!

Most of my clothes come from re-sale stores and I’m lucky that my neighbourhood has some really good ones.

And there are other internet addictions that are much worse😉

I think there may be a side to vinted you haven’t mentioned: the selling children’s clothes that are brand new and unworn for less money than it takes for the bus journey to the parcel drop off point and back just to get out of the house. They were dark times. I have to say I don’t bother selling on there any more people want something for nothing and the post office charge too much. I’d rather give it away.

It’s also terrifying how much there is. If you choose your size, one colour and item and there is still 500+ to choose from?!
