  • Whilst dropping a bag of stuff off at my local hospice charity shop, I bought for myself a DVD of No Country for Old Men for £1! I'm hoping to expand my film viewing habits/number of films I've seen, and this was one of the films on my (mental) list.

    Tower Auto Slow Cooker (similar for £20 ebay)

    £4.75 from Cancer Research. I think mine is new as it doesn't even have a plug on the lead (can't have been PAT tested either, naughty, as it's now illegal to sell things without fitted plugs). No box, but all the booklets are inside.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    I've wondered if those would be useful for painting the outside windowframes :eek:

    Hi everyone,

    I managed to get a few bargains for OH at the weekend, the shop I visited were having a sale, all clothes £2, we bought a pair of smart Next shorts, Hollister trousers and a TedBaker polo shirt. They all look hardly worn too.
