Hi day hoo peeps I f my spelling is way off many sorries but I am very tired and have had, I think three gasses of wine. Over the past two days I have been working hard, trying to make a shelving thingy to store the bliddy amount off rubbbish that may, in the future be needed to save my life:rotfl: \i confess I am a hoarder:o
I made it out of wood my neighbour gave me 3 yrs ago to make some fencing. Of cource I forgot seasoned wood was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much more slow to saw through than yer old ol dried off stuff. OMG it took me at least 30 mins to cut 6ft of 3inch by 3nch But ye know I did it, i will never ever show pics but it works Think grab stuff. OMG my muscles hurt and my hands are hot and red, even my 4th glass of vino is not helping ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, night nigvht I lurfv you all...............:o:D:o:o

On my way upto town today bra shopping (ugh!!) had to get the bus some of the way as my overground isn't working for a few months. When I got off the bus I went past a charity shop and saw a woman in the window looking at a lovely top. I went in and she bypassed it. It turned out to be my size so I tried it on. It had a little hole where the seam had come away under the bust, so I mentioned this and the lady at the till charged me £2.50 instead of £5!! I also found a lovely pot with butterflies and brambles for £2 that we later saw in M and S for growing lilies for £15!! My daughter also bought a leather topshop bag for £6. I will definately look in there more often. I don't really look in charity shops anymore as the ones round my way are rubbish.

Local DIY shop closing down and they had loads of wallpaper reduced to 10p! Now we can do our bedroom for pennies!

A set of 5 kitchen devil knives and block for £6.50 as it was half price in wilkinsons. Looked on-line when I got home and something very similar on amazon was £25 ish :eek:

Had my current knives for over 10 years and they are rubbish these are really nice and have a 10 year guarantee with them as well:j

Not used them yet but will have plasters handy just in case :rotfl:

Yours

I picked up a laundry basket from freecycle yesterday and bought two pieces of gingham fabric in a CS for £1:50 and a bag with a union jack sequin on it for £1 which I am going to unpick and make into a cushion.
I love bargains! I plan to go to a Car Boot tomorrow Hope more bargains come my way!

No frugal find for me but gave my sister my dehydrator (she gave me a hamster cage last year). Bought a retro chest of drawers this week on Ebay (for £6) with a mirror attached and will be giving away the mirror on Freecycle.

I got my son a big bag of lego from the car boot for £5, he was so happy bless him! My carbooting ways may have backfired though, he now asks to go

I was on the lookout for a food processor and a breadmaker but no luck this week.
