Today-Disney coat for my grandson, doesn't look as if it's been worn-99p!!

I love such bargains (in this case an unworn good quality coat), but do worry about exposing kids to branding from an early age. It makes a rod for our own backs later down the line.

I went to a cs I don't go to very often as its very disorganised and full and I find it a bit overwhelming however I got a couple of mega bargains, a pair of unworn with label basler trousers for £1.50 and a looks new boden spotty top also £1.50 I've never bought basler before so just had a look on the website and trousers appear to be £100 upwards. I'm supposed to be having a wardrobe clear out and I am getting rid of things so don't feel too bad about buying more. So far my ebay sales from things I don't wear has reached nearly £400 and I know I didn't spend a large amount on any of it!

He's two and he can't read yet! But I know what you mean.

A "vintage" (still in original box) Pifco 50cl travel jug kettle, that comes with two cups. The element is attached to the lid, not in the base, and I just did a test boil in less than three minutes . I paid £3 for it in the Hospice warehouse shop, and only recently I almost bought a similar one (kettle only, no cups or box) in BHF for £5, but didn't in the end as I noticed it had a non-UK plug. I travel a lot (mostly short breaks in the UK), and sometimes the kettle in the hotel is a bit off-putting, especially in hard water areas, so this will pack easily and may come in handy. On one recent trip, the kettle was so coated with flaky limescale that I ended up walking to Greggs and carrying cups of tea back!

Also in the same c/shop I found a lovely gold coloured ring with two sparkly gemstones like diamonds, for 50p. Perfect fit for my spare ring finger, and it feels heavy enough to be decent quality, even if not actually gold!

Hello!

Yesterday I popped into my nearest cs and found a full in box bottle of brut. My dad asked for brut two christmasses ago, so I know he will like it. It was £2.

At Christmas I broke two of my lovely blush pink wine glasses, and there were three in the cs yesterday! 50p each!!

So those were big bargains I think.
