    Spent a whole £2 in the chazza shops this week :eek:

    50p for a Country Casuals jersey top in a mink colour.

    50p on a scarf with a magnetic clasp that makes it into a loop wot you wind twice round your neck( ??!). In shades of raspberry pink and mink...looks good with the above.

    £1 on a B/N, M & S swim suit with a proper bra doofer thingy, in purple and white fuzzy stripes.

    I did really well this week and got the following:

    Portmeirion table mats and coasters, a small ice bucket, 3 cafetieres- two big and one small, golf balls, Poole pottery plates (4) and 2 side plates in vine pattern, salt and pepper set( Cole & Mason) + black shoes in Size 9 Kays, The best thing was a little wirework basket with 6 ?silver plate tomatoes with a tiny slit in each one to put place names at a dinner table. They are going to my friend for her birthday next month as I know she will love them.

    I was reading this thread yesterday and felt inspired. I'm currently loosing weight so don't really want to spend lots of money on things to wear for a short time.

    I popped to the local charity shop today and came away with a monsoon blouse for £3 and a pair of navy M & S twill trousers for £3. I'm really chuffed especially as I used to work for Monsoon when the 75% staff discount was in place. I can't afford their stuff new now so it was a great find.

    There is only one charity shop in the little town I live in so will go to the larger town next week for a bit more of a look. Not bad for someone who doesn't like shopping.

    Oh no!
    You do realise that you're teetering on the edge of a very slippery slope. :eek:

    I got a pair of next trousers last week for £3.99 and a next top the week before for £3.50, both as new condition. I'm with you Parsniphead, initially I went in to find something for work while I get rid of my flubber, but I actually now don't want to buy things new. :). I don't think my CSs will have the great bargains found on here though, but I will keep looking. :)
