    I picked up 3 work shirts this weekendfrom a charity shop for £1 each, and best of all, the game 'Downfall' for DS1 hwo asked for it recently, for £1 too! Okay, the box needs a bit of repair-work but that's no show-stopper! :) A beautiful brown table runner for £2 and a weekend top for £1.50

    Yay!

    Some lovely plums from the park and some lovely blackberries from the garden.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Oh and i forgot about something else, yesterday my Mum gave me a small gift, it was a coaster she had seen in a garden centre, it reads "Mirror mirror on the wall.....I am my Mother after all..."

    LOL!

    So true as well!

    Yesterday I received from Freecycle a whole box of food magazines like BBC Good Food and Olive. They are from 2004 to 2007 and I haven't seen any of them before (because I didn't start buying those magazines till this year) so I was delighted!

    I brought some home made buttermilk scones for the bloke who gave me the magazines to say thanks, he seemed quite chuffed :D

    People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
