A set of 4 lemony snicket books for my son, free from freecycle yesterday. My son has just stated reading these ( the whole set would cost a fortune) and was thrilled to bits when I presented them to him.

I have lost 4 1/2 stone and buy all my 'new' clothes from charity shops as I still want to loose another 3 stone and can't afford to keep updating. Have had so many brilliant finds its amazing - everyone comments on my fab new wardrobe and how much it must have cost!!! I have never had so many M&S, Dorothy Perkings, Wallis & Debehams clothes.... average spend about £1.50 per item!!!! (one DP jumper top BNWT £18 ....paid £0.99p in Salavation Army shop located next door to a dorthy perkins near my MIL! best charity shop ever same its 2 hours from my house).

There is Nothing like finding an amazing bargain in a charity shop.

Congrateulations on the weight lose and good look for the future.

It was my BD recently and normally I don't get anything of OH and was wanting a sewing machine but the one I want was 99quid:eek:, So I decided against it and he gave me the money instead. I went to the charity shop and got the whole of my summer wardrobe including new shoes, jewellery and bag which will also double as my holiday clothes.

I only had 1 pair of jeans, 3 tops, 1 pair of shoes to my name. I wear things until they fall off me.

Now I have about 6 dress, 5 skirts, 8 tops and a load more to bout.

My best buy was a brand new dress (tag for 30quid) for 4 quid today.

I spent about 40 pound.

I also booked into 2 pamper day at the local beauty place, with the trainees so for two days (2hrs each) for 30 (both) quid I get a body massage, Indian head massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, eye brows / lashes tinted and shaped I know this is a luxury and I don't need it but I'm going abroad for the first time this year and needed the clothing and with me getting it so cheap I thought why not.

I also have 30quid left

I'm soooooo excited. I picked up a Rapido Folding Caravan today on Freecycle. OK so one wheel didn't go round when it was hooked up to my car but one phone call to a friend (with a big hammer ) later and I was on my way. Now I'll get the mechanicals serviced and the interior well not much to do there if you like the original brown and orange and I do and then we are on our way.
It's a hap hap happy day!

A friend had bought a pair of peep toe shoes from a charity shop. She doesn't wear them and offered them to me - only a pair of LK Bennett :T
Perfect for the summer and because I'd given her a pair of my daughters old Clarks shoes we just did a trade

My friend bought me a chicken that she'd already cooked which she wasn't using,so i picked it to within an inch of its life and got a sweet n sour chicken,sani's for hubby,a curry and filling for a pie plus chicken stock from the bones. This was used for 2 lots of mushroom soup.She also gave me half a loaf of tiger bread which i'm using for my toast in the mornings,lovely
