    I called in the Original Factory Shop near us today and was browsing through their cosmetics. I bought a No 7 lipstick for £1, and No 7 foundation 'Stay Perfect' Foundation for £4 (RRP £14.50). Quids in.:j

    I had a tiny clematis plant off my daughter ,she had had it through the post with 2 others ,this one looked dead ,so she complained and they sent a replacement.
    she stuck it in a pot and left it,but now it has shooted again ,so she passed it on to me ,be a great surprise when it flowers as she lost all the labels.

    Nothing for me but for my mum.

    I gave my mum bits and piece out my cupboard such as cup a soups and took some items out of my freezer and popped them in hers as I just buy to much on reduced to clear and we never seem to eat it :rotfl:

    I have just thought of something a bike lock from poundland. Cheap and nasty but easy and light to carry compared to the heavy ackward D lock I have.

    And you would have to be desperate to nick my bike it is a 10 year old apollo special in pink :rotfl:mind you it could be worse I suppose it could be a 10 years girl bike now I would look silly on that.

    Yours

    I picked up Thrifty Ways for Modern Days from a CS yesterday. It made me smile when I recognised a few of the names in the acknowledgements.

  • A lovely frugal find today:j

    Left outside by the bins was an attractive, small, light wood cupboard-ey unit thingy. There wasn't anything wrong with it. My husband adjusted the shelf inside and now it looks perfect in our bedroom. Inside are all my knitting books and pattern folders. On the top, my basket of wools. They are now within easy reach of my bed. For some reason, I always do my knitting sitting on my bed:D I can easily move the unit for cleaning too.

    PS I had just asked hubby to design and make something for my knitting and patterns, so he was well pleased too
