    That sounds a lovely vase, JesaRose. I'm going to have to start collecting all over again, what a bummer! It scared me but not half as much as the poor cats.

    Got a nice girly day out chazza shopping tomorrow in a different county. Very excited to see what junk I can come back with.

    If you ever feel like doing the Worcestershire chazzas (noticed you're a fellow midlander) let me know and I can recommend you my favourites!

    Hi guys dont know if anyone would be interested but oxfam have an online secondhand store, normally I dont shop on it cause p&p is pricey, buts it free until 1st June. I've managed to get a couple of nice things from there!

    I've just looked on the site and it's really expensive! they wanted £4.99 for a pair of secondhand PRIMARK toddlers jeans. They're cheaper than that to buy new!

    Got another orange Le Creuset pan this afternoon, for a fiver- there were more, but I couldn't carry them! Might go back with the car tomorrow morning though and see if they're still there, they are lovely.

    Oh no don't remind me! There was a guy selling 5 pans and a casserole a couple of years ago for £20 but we couldn't be bothered to walk back to the car and he'd packed up and gone when we decided we were being lazy. :mad:

    Nooooooooo! There's nothing worse than that feeling of going back and finding the thing you finally decided to get has already gone.

    My aim is to get myself a kitchen full of Le Creuset's- they just make other pans seem so flimsy and insubstantial- and I know so many other people who want them too, so there's no danger of buying too many!

    Today was the first time i went into a Charity shop, as i was inspired by all you lovely people. I bought a new looking Fiorelli bag for £3,it was one that my sister had wanted a while ago. So really pleased. Will definetly revisit again. Even my sister was suprised that it was so new-though i did dettol spray it for her!(small baby steps on conversion to total mse!)
    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend bargain hunting mse way!!!:T
