    Few more bargains for me today, i didnt go shopping for them they kind of found me.

    I was running some errands in the city centre and walked past the charity shop, i never walk past the charity shops as they are no where near the car park but it was easier to park the car and walk to where i needed to be.

    So as i walked past there were 4 brand new in the night garden books, including lift the flap books all priced at 50p each - i almost bought them new for their full RRP the other day. They were practically jumping into my arms as i walked past the shop window.

    Picked up 3 brand new christmas story books for 50p each and a drinking games set with shot glasses and a book for £1.

    So moral of the story is - take a different route and find bargains you never knew existed.

    Excellent! I love charity shops for spotting good bargains, they're even nicer when they are unexpected :)

    I must have missed the post on the washer dryer (dishcloth and towel). I really like the idea. Do you just wrap them up together? Is there a label that goes with them? Sorry to ask lots of questions

    its a tea towl wrapped with a dishcloth and a tag with the note.. there are a couple different quotes out there, the one i know is

    This Christmas our ship has finally come in
    We are feeling so wealthy and rich
    Instead of some small rememberance
    This year will be quite a switch
    We're giving a gift of high quality
    No more cheap presents for us
    Ot's time we really went all out]
    But dont worry, its really no fuss.
    We considered giving you a sports car
    Or maybe a tropical cruise---
    But we decided to be more practical
    And give you something you could use.
    So,open the box and you may be surprised,
    To find not ONE gift, but two
    We hope you will put your presents to work
    It's a WASHER & DRYER, too!!!!
