    Yes, I would have brought it even though it is not part of my past. It's just such a lovely piece of history.

    I wore my new chazza shop dress to work yesterday and got half a dozen compliments on it. I was feeling pretty smug that it only cost £3 :D.

    I told myself that once I was in my 30s I would stop grinning smugly and saying how cheap it was when someone complimented me on my clothes, but I'm afraid I can't.

    I've picked up several really good quality hardback children's books that will make lovely Christmas presents for friends' kids (The Night Before Christmas, A Christmas Treasury, First Poems etc- all beautifully illustrated) for a quid or so each. I hardly every buy children's books new- charity shops are full of barely read ones.
    They are an EYESORES!!!!

    Got a gorgeous wool & angora hat for £2.50, great for this weather, and slightly amazing that it looks really cute, seeing as I normally look terrible in hats!

    But my best bargain was a Monsoon embellished black maxi dress for just £1.99. :)
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Got a lovely Red Herring Christmas evening top in Oxfam for £4.99. It is a bit big but I'll wear it under a shrug so I think it'll look okay.
