    There wasn't much at ours this weekend, I think the weather put people off. I got some Next clothes for DD for 50p each and a toy Kenwood mixer for DD's kitchen for £1, she loves it!
    Also I found a Weightwatchers calculator for 50p which I got for my Mum as we are both doing it at the moment, worst of it is I bought one at the meeting last week for a lot more than 50p!
    Haven't bought anything to sell on ebay for a while now, nothing much about.

    Went to 2 charity shops today with my little girl, picked up 2 Boden cardigans 2.99 each and a monsoon dress for 1.99 and my daughter found a toy suitcase from elc with a little passport, plastic clothes, comb ,soap etc.. inside for 3.00.
  • Saw a lovely Giles Deacon Gold (New Look range) cropped jacket in a charity shop today. Tried it on but it was way too big and generally looked silly on me! I did get a Topshop lace detail top though which is gorgeous :)

    I was very lucky today and bought a TOD'S handbag for 15.00.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!
