    Not sure about the picture but if I'd been in the same shop at the same time as you, I'd have fought you over the cat. :rotfl:

    Interesting thread about charity shop pricing;

    £5 is definitely worth the price for the cat alone! He's gorgeous :D

    This is the picture I got yesterday for £5 with bonus Jimby cat

    Seems a bit cruel to balance the picture on Jimby's tail ;)

    Went off to Argos this morning to collect a very basic corded phone I had reserved for £5.99 only to find the shop closed due to faulty shutters.

    Decided to stop at two charity shops I've never visited before on the way home and got a lovely Doro phone BNIB for £2.99 Instructions are in German but have just downloaded them in English so I can do the speed dial.

    In the other shop I bought a long pair of size six knitting needles for 30p. Wanted these as only have a short pair and needed longer ones for a cardigan I am knitting myself.

    One very happy charity shopper today.

    I've had two dresses for work and a nice silky shirt all from Dorothy Perkins on my latest trips. All about £5.00 each.

    Salvation Army shop on a road trip. Linen tea towels, one from Torbay and one from New Zealand. $1 each. Make you wonder how they found their way to Drumheller!


    No DDR china though or blue Corelle.

    I picked up 4 Wedgwood 'Sarah's Garden' cups and saucers today for £3.99 the lot; excellent condition, not a mark on then!

    Looked on eBay and they sell at around £10-£15 for ONE cup and saucer normally. Bargain!

    A grey cambric self-stripe Per Una shirt for £2 and Per Una stretch jeans for £2.99, short leg which means I don't have to take them up. That makes a change! Plus two books for 30p each.

    As soon as I put the picture up he had his paws up it checking it was good enough to be allowed in to his territory. Cheeky boy.
