Ohh well done Sarah on your bargain. I was talking to my Mum this morning and she GAVE me a brand new storm bag for the challenge. (She had it for christmas and didn't like it - too trendy for her, she's used to Mary Poppins bags. LOL).

I'm going to like this challenge, it sounds fun! Thanks to Pammy for the suggestion and JamTart for the all the challenges. I didn't get around to sending the ink cartridges to Tesco so i'm just off to re-read the thread and find out how to do it.

Best of luck everyone. xxx

Thanks Hun, Only went in to look for a waist coat for DS1 for his Dr who outfit for book day on thurday, they had loads of bargins so will definately be going in again and all clothes are £1 no matter what so was really please with the jacket, its even got the £20 price tag on. I didn't get the waist coat but did get a plum velvet long ladies jacket for DS1 he has the Tom baker scarf my mum knitted for him last year so he's going as Tom Baker on thursday

wow thats great Sarah, great find

My DD is going as pippy longstocking, just using her denim dress, a stripy tshirt and some long bright stripy socks from 99p store. Haven been frantically trying to find a metal coat hanger so I can shape her pigtails out but no shops had any today Was going to do the orange hair as well but think we will stick with her brunette

I got £7.00 for the ink cartridges. (just the HP ones) Have loads of Epson ones but they don't recycle those apparently, and to think I nearly threw them out while I was sorting the other day, as I couldn't be bothered!

Received the £15 from Cashback Extreme this morning so ordered another photobook from Tesco while they still half price, this time for myself with photos of my Mum in it.

Going up town tomorrow to take my sewing machine in so will have a look in the charity shops while I am up there to see if I can find anything for the challenge.
