  • Hi all :)

    Havent been on here in a while, but im still addicted to bargain hunting :)

    Had a morning of charity shopping today, recently ive been buying lots of knitwear from charity shops as its something i need and normally on the high street good quality knitwear is expensive.

    Today i got:

    * Two brand new Dotty P's jumper dresses- one black and one cream
    * A glittery Warehouse jumper
    * A gold glittery H&M cardigan
    * A vintage black cardigan with flower embellishment.
    * Some No7 creams - brand new and sealed which i will put into a make-up bag for my mum for Christmas.

    Total spend 14pounds, not bad considering it would of cost a fortune new.

    I got the most amazing black velvet (beautiful thick dress velvet, not the cheap stuff) cloak lined with black and midnight blue brocade from a CS for £12.99. I don't know if I'll ever wear it, I sincerely hope I do, but it is probably the most beautiful thing I own!

    Bought a 'Melba Ware' celery dish in a local charity shop today for £8.50.
    I checked on Ebay and there is one for sale on there for £24.99 BIN and another asking for a starting bid of £14.99.

    Not intending to sell it though as I thought it would look good on the table with celery on it as was originally meant for.
