    I got a pair of grolsch beer bottle glasses for £2.99, looked online, and to buy from iwoot and those sort of places, they're about £12.99 on average!

    Got a pair of brand new, boxed and still tagged, Karrimor leather walking boots for £7. Exactly what I needed.

    At an event last night in an outfit bought from my local CS on Saturday - dark grey Principles trousers and a Wallis minidress in a grey William Morris-type print, £2 each as the manageress hasn't put prices up for years (and discounts the price if you donate to the shop!)

    Today I've picked up some incredible curtains with zoo animals all over them - without the lining the fabric is quite light and soft so I'll be able to make a million things for the baby out of them.

    Also got a fantastic chrome desk lamp, plus a pack of new hankies - all for £8

    I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases I feel the possessions possess them, rather than the other way round

    My latest finds are: a pair of Jaeger tailored shorts, lined white linen £5. An M&S tunic linen/cotton mix BNWT £8 (I know but it's gorgeous and the original price was £27.50 - why don't people take things back!??) another floaty lined M&S tunic for £6. A lovely pink Maine top for DH £3.50 and finally a nice light cheap cotton top from Peacocks £2.50 with a nice tribal pattern and pin tucks down the front and back.

    I find it so hard to shop in other shops nowadays, I had to go through JL yesterday as my computer was being repaired and glanced at the rails, one rail of blouses had a sign saying "all items under £55" bet they weren't much under!
    Slightly bitter

    Really pleased to find 3 tops all in my favourite style (casual, organic cotton, little baggy) by white stuff and people tree in the local Salvation Army shop - all on the sale rail for £1 each!
    Must visit more frequently, someone who donates obviously has the same taste in clothes as me! :D
