    M&S Autograph black leather shoe boots £4.50. Very high with a half-inch platform. Will be a bit of a challenge to walk in them but if all else fails, OH can carry me. :rotfl:
    Been looking for a pair like this for ages.

    Adidas raspberry-pink climalite t-shirt. £1.00.
    Just started exercising at home so will be perfect.

    Our local Barnados shop is marvelous! Got a K-nex T-rex dinosaur kit, complete with working motor for 99p. I got it for on of the girls at work for her little girl; they've made it together as there was no instructions, one part was missing but as her daughter has loads of K-nex stuff they found the spare bit-result!

    This week I spent a total of £4 in the hospice charity sales and for this I got........

    Hush Puppy beige loafers, as new, £1 :)
    (half a size bigger would have been better but after trooping about the house in them for a few days they are getting more comfy :o)

    M & S, towelling bathrobe in excellent condition, £1 :)

    Monsoon, 3/4 capri style, pants in beige, £2 :) (just found them on the Monsoon website @ £45!)
    (great quality and fit + match the Hush Puppies perfectly)

    Another good week :j

    Only been donating to the CS for the last few weeks & been busy so didn't really have the time. Had to take my little hand held cleaner to be repaired but the shop was closed for lunch so I had to while away 10 mins in the Hospice shop next door didn't I? DH has just culled 2 shirts that were beyond redemption & I managed to find a BN Next check shirt for £4 - happy bunny!

    Barnardo's 99p outlet - £5.94 got me a pink M & S t-shirt, a lovely, good quality, white cotton blouse, new with tags track suit bottoms for the house, a navy denim maxi skirt plus two "lucky" bags of toiletries which included a makeup bag, full sized shower gel and a miniature Astral tin (love that stuff and now I can top up during the day, since I don't wear makeup). All in all it was a fantastic haul and a bit of a surprise as this shop had been putting out rubbish for so long that I stopped going. I only went in to pass the time until my prescriptions were ready to collect!
    Looking ahead

    Got a very cute make do and mend coaster new for 75p from BHF. Make_Do_and_Mend_edited_for_web_large.jpg?v=1417621387

    £1.99 for a history book I've been on the look out for. Rare I pay more than a pound, if that, for books from cshops but it's one I really wanted.

    4 nice buttons for 20p, they'll be used in some craft projects.

    And there's a little stall outside on the highstreet that has a different charity selling stuff each week. Forgot to look at the poster to see what this weeks was, but got 6 lovely bookmarks with cute designs on including some leather ones (to add to my bookmark horde, got at least 50. And in the end I normally end up using a scrap of paper to save my place when reading anyway. They're pretty though, so I like to collect them), a little wooden bear who I couldn't say no to, and a lovely chocolate cupcake with lots of chocolate icing and a strawberry on top, all for the grand total of £2.00.
