£5 wooden white gloss bedside table with a huge coffee cup ring stain on it - I upcycled it to this:

WOW!I love what you've done to the bedside table. May I ask what you used to cover the top? Is it wrapping paper? I have a bit of a Seattle obsession so I'm really curious.

Hehe thanks, me too! I the Pacific North West! It's actually a simple computer printout of vintage travel posters I googled. I just resized them all to the same height so that they looked a bit more uniform (the widths will be different if you use the corner resize box so they look a bit like a puzzle). I also got a couple of friends to photoshop a couple of them to different colours/designs and used Matt mod podge to stick them on and then coat them.

Just as I arrived at the hospice chazza sale today I spotted one of the helpers putting out a very nice looking pair of brown boots. Never moved so fast to the 'shoe dept' at the far end!!! Fab pair of M & S, waxed leather boots with a tassel on the side, (posh cowboy stylee), unworn, just my size and only £6. Frilled to bits! :j

Yesterday I came home with 5prs of stylish shoes (size 9!) - four pairs were NEW with stickers still on soles - total of £10 :j. That's my shoe purchases for the rest of the year taken care of .

Left around 6prs in the shop as they were high wedge/platforms that I just can't even stand up in, never mind walk down the street :rotfl:.

Hi all

Popped into Droitwich whilst visiting family Wednesday. Always find the shops there very over-priced compared to my town though so never normally buy much.
Picked up:

*Men's Next grey slim fit formal shirt £1.50
*Men's River Island blue/white checked slim fit shirt £1.50
*Topshop pink fluffy jumper with bow detail around neckline £4.95
*River Island black chiffon polka dot blouse £3.95 (brand new with tags originally £34.99!!!!)

The men's shirts looked brand new/worn once. Bought these for my DP and he's very fussy about wearing second hand, so i'll wash them and present them to him when he's in need of a nice shirt to wear out. I wouldnt normally pay so much for a Topshop jumper, but it's very pretty and it would be quite expensive brand new.

There were a few other nice things too, which i left behind for some other bargain hunters. Joules jeans, Boden tops just decided they werent for me.
