    A bit OT but has anyone read The Thrift Book, by India Knight? Thats the funniest thrift book I've ever read. I recommend it for comedy value only. (get it from the library).

    It was the downgrade your groceries to Marks and Spencers. And only buy designer clothes because everything else is a false economy. Make your own butter! And she recommended MAC make up for those on a budget! Lol.

    Here we go...the Pound Shop Infomercial programme is starting.

    And if the Linda 'attend the opening of an envelope' Robson pops up, I'm switching off...


    Edit: HOLD ON! How the $*@&$ did she manage to shop in Poundland without a 30 minute queue, no stuff falling off the aisles on to passers by, screaming children, grumbling pensioners, moaning MSE person (me) and without the PDQ machine crashing?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Actually I like this programme, it seems to be a mix of testing pound shop products and telling us how they (the shops) work.

    I'd like to give the lady who said the pound shop lowers the tone, and that people won't go into stroud because it has a pound shop, a good slap.

    I might also start hanging round in pound shops, you never know, I might just pull the lady with the biggest house in the county :D
  • the small tree would have looked better with smaller baubles though.
