    Fascinating! So pleased we could have a look at a similar one....!

    Bought two blouses from Scope at 1/2 price, one for myself, and one for my mum. Mum liked both and looked good in both - and to be fair I wasn't overly fussed as it was just something to go with jeans, which cost me all of £1.25!

    Got a chalky blue per una jumper in our hospice shop for £2.50. Just needed a button and there was one stitched to the label. Hardly looks worn. Really happy with it :)

    Last Thursday I was killing time in Forfar and found a pair of casual outdoor trousers and a pair of grey corduroy jeans-style trousers for £4.50 each for OH. The labels are missing but I'm sure the grey ones are the same ones he bought from Next and wore to death!

    Not cs but I just got a John Lewis smart casual summer dress reduced from £60 to £15 :-)

    Today I got a cream M&S Autograph cardi for £3.95. It's really soft and when I checked the label at home I discovered it is actually 100% cashmere.

    Popped into my local charity shop on Tuesday. Had a look round, didn't find anything I wanted but stopped to browse the handbags on the way out. I spotted a rather nice well made leather bag. Took it off the shelf to inspect it. Looked at the lining and thought I recognised the logo. On further inspection I realised it was a Mulberry bag. Took it to the till as it had no price on it. The guy said it was £2 as they were having a sale. I paid. Took the bag home and scoured the sites for hints and tips on spotting a genuine Mulberry bag. It seems that it's genuine, it has a serial number that doesn't match anything when I googled it. It's a beautiful bag made of the most lovely leather. Whether it's genuine or fake. It's a lovely bag and I'm well happy.

    Two fab bargains. :T


    I bought a Phase Eight long-line jumper, 50% wool, with V-neck, long sleeves and a side slit with the back being longer than the front. Lovely dark teal colour £1.00 from Oxfam (they were having a sale). I have a few pairs of patterned treggings and am lacking plain tops that cover my bum so this will go perfectly.

    Also some brand-new still on the card Dunkelman laces:

    they are the 4th from the right in 'multi check' and will brighten up one of my pairs of Doc Marten boots. 10p

    Also complete series 1 of Life on Mars (loved this series) on DVD £4.00. Currently on Amazon for £29.95.

    OMG!
    That's amazing, I don't think I'd use it to cook dishes in, it deserves a place on display (I have the perfect place in my kitchen :D).

    Hey! Do you think it might have been donated by Princess Anne? :rotfl:
