    Morning all

    Some great finds for everyone.

    I have come to the conclusion I have caught CHF...charity shop fever. Need to stay out of them for a few days :):):)


    Yesterday

    Garden Trug 10 Litre at least :):):):):) delighted with this.
    Oak fruit bowl...stunning
    Old Vintage Kitsch Christmas decoration garland/wreath
    2 primrose yellow Tupperware lidded boxes
    Little metal dish which when cleaned shows silver stamps !!!!!
    All for £8

    I am so pleased about the trug. I have been hoping to find one for a long time and will be treasured by moi :)

    Happy hunting :)

    Some autumny bits for me today, rather than the baby, for a change :) :

    A lovely denim smock dress from H&M, which will do me through the last few weeks of pregnancy with some leggings but will also be nice belted and layered up in the winter;
    A funky pink and red jumper from Warehouse;
    A lovely batwinged sweater from Monsoon, also able to put the bump in it, but will also be fab, stylish but comfy afterwards too.

    And change from a tenner. Charity shops, I love you.

    Fab fab fab bargains today!!! Cleared out my cupboard of doom and took a big bag to the chaz shop. Realised I needed a new winter coat, had current one 4 years. Went to Heswall today and got a dark pink La Redoute duffel coat for £5.50 looks new and a new with £55 price tag dark grey cord jacket from White Stuff for £5.95 :j this was from the Claires hospice shop. Thrilled Iam. Must stop buying now though
    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

    Went a bit mad this week and bought a portmeirion cheese dome in botanic garden pattern for £20. Asked my friend to talk me out of it but she was useless!! It looks lovely on my dresser. Must keep out of CS for a while now!!

    I got a cracker of a bargain just now. My sons school jumpers have gone up to £10 each, and he has lost three over the past few years at school. Checked lost property and not there so think some bad parent has kept them.
    Anyway!! In the local charity shop today for a rake, and came across a sale rail with his school jumpers on them. Had a good look and have kitted him out for the next four years jumper wise for £1 a jumper. Delighted is a understatment!!

    Well done, school jumpers cost a fortune, only got my ds one new one this year (for the photo), last years will have to do him.

    Got a food processor looks new for £5 always wanted one. As with most charity shop things no instructions :( need to work out how to use the attachments, think its a juicer as well.

    Those Meindl boots were a bargain! Hubby has them for work (his employer buys them luckily) and they're easily £90-120 a pair.

    My bargain today was a pale grey cashmere sleeveless jumper from M&S Autograph range for £1.99. Will look lovely over a smart shirt in the autumn. Hugging myself!
