    At our week-end carboot we got 2 lovely Next garden chairs BNWT for £15....still had £19.99 price tags on :)

    Chazza shop yesterday...linen skirt by Kaliko in my favourite 'sludge green' colour. Saw it the previous day but thought it a bit pricey at £4.50 but kept thinking about it and had to go back......now all washed and pressed and ready to wear tonight.... :j

    Just got the most gorgeous summer dress from one of my local charity shops :D It's a pink and white gingham pinafore style dress from Zara, with a raspberry and leaf print. Possibly still a bit on the pricey side at £7 (I had to scrape my purse for change!) but it's so me I had to have it. I need a whole new wardrobe for dresses now!

    That sounds really nice fuzzy - I would definately love that. I love gingham prints

    I got a nice black and white gingham new look dress from the boot on Sunday (forgot about it as it was being washed) - cost just £1, its from New Look.

    Here is the lovely green bottle I bought Sunday (although not a great photo)

    Oh Jesa, that's stunning! Just the kind of thing I love.

    Fuzzy_Duck - that sounds a lovely summery dress. Even at £7 it's a bargain.

    Me too, sadly my nearly 3 yr old DS is still at the ornament arranging (or should I say re-arranging stage) and has already broken things :(.

    I got a new Mars (bar) rugby ball for £1 (they had a box looks like let over stock from somewhere). From cats protection. My son was quite impressed. Its fab quality and his friends have asked where he got it from already.
