Thanks, I couldn't believe what a bargain it was, I would love to beable to patchwork but it is way beyond my basic sewing skills.

Nipped into a chazza to kill time before hopping on a bus. They had a 49p rack, and I managed to find a strappy floral summer top amongst the not-so-desirables. For less than the price of a choc bar, I'm happy!

Not a charity shop but a boot sale, this is what I got this morning:

Brand new, never even opened, Weight watchers pro points kitchen scale - £3 (they retail at £40!) Delighted with this one.

Summer dress for £2
Light up world globe for £2
8 CDs for £2

Quite a nice little haul.

Another not a charity shop, but a boot sale post. Was selling at a car booty this morning and found some black ankle boots for £2, unworn. 3 scarves for £1.50, a multi-coloured snood for 1.50 and a little ball of very interesting (at least to me) wool for my new-found knitting love. Did well on the selling front as well, though we shan't talk about the dog that widdled on one of our wares! :mad:

Oh, and on Fri at Save the Children got 2 tops for a pound a piece. Lovely White Stuff wrap top and an exercise top by a brand called 'Hard Bodies', made me chuckle.

Smoosh

I got this dress:

for £6 something.

And another dress that I can't find a picture of - grey with pink flowers and a ribbon belt for £5.50.

An all in one cloth nappy, £2.99.

Cranium board game £2 something.

I popped into my local charity shop today and got

1 girls party dress in excellent condition
1 pair of jeans for me looking brand new (I already have a pair the same make and they are such a good fit and wash really well)
and 6 kids books

for £2.50 :eek::eek::eek:

Frith

I went into 2 charity shops this morning and got 3 t shirts for my sons (although they are 12 and 9, they are both exactly 5 feet tall so clothes are interchangeable!)

1) Fred Perry black t shirt with abstract large "leaves" in different colours.

2) Weird Fish blue T shirt with pictures of erm... fish on!

3) M and S red t shirt with an applique VW camper van.

All for £3.20!

I've been looking for a handbag to go with my nautical style outfits for over a month, getting increasingly frustrated at being outbid on all the bags I've liked on ebay.

Finally found a nice bag for £2.99 yesterday in the CS, navy & white stripes with a nice wide (adjustable) long strap and a nice size to fit everything in (without it weighing a tonne).

Been upcycling it today with lots of things in my craft stash, anchor print ribbon bows, anchor design, buttons, a big wooden anchor (like a keyring) and matching beads.

Picked up an Ikea Bygga, kids construction set for £3.49 today, I think there's 1 or 2 small parts missing but other than that it's great, saw one in a different CS the other month but the instructions had been scribbled all over, and as I'm saving it for a Christmas gift it was no good for me.
