Went to the Church fete (well actually I was helping on the book stall) and got an old large saucepan (perfect for candle making) for 50p, dh found a brand new set of bose headphones for £2 and I found a "bag in a purse" for 50p i had been looking at these very ones in a local shop priced at £5 and couldn't justify the cost but now I can!:)Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

I found a growbag that I hadn't used from a year or so ago and have spread it over a garden border to help it along. When I bring home the little tomato plant I have just bought (and left at work, whoops!) I'll put it down there as it is nice and sunny

:eek:On saturday one of the dogs ate a big whole in the middle of our mattress:mad: OH was telling one of his mates who delivers beds and collects the old ones for recycling and asked him to keep an eye out for a half decent mattress to tide us over. Said friend turned up today with not only a more than respectable mattress but the four drawer divan base to go with it :j all very clean only been used a few times as a guest bed, definitely a better day than saturday.Sometimes not moving backwards is as much an achievement as moving forwards is on other times.
