Got 4 tins of farrow and ball eggshell paint from a chazza today
At 75p a tin they where well worth a punt and when I got them home and opened them the paint looked perfect.

Hello everyone!

wow! Some fantastic finds!

Went to my first cbs in ages today - moved to a new area recently. Unfortunately they weren't huge but still managed to pick up a brand new with tags h&m skirt for 50p:T

Not too far from Bristol here... It seems I may need to wander over at some point, based on the bargains to be had!!
