What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

I posted earlier that if in doubt when buying shoes from a CS I used to use the the bin powder that can be used in kennels and hutches but any of the anti bacterial wipes would be just as good.

Two more dresses for my Seychelles friend-got more stuff for her in my case than I've got for myself!

The dresses are a big success, didn't realise how many I had til I unpacked them! All fit and only one she's not sure of. The games and craft stuff for the kiddies were well received too.
Just to let you know, the weather here is lovely!

Is this valuable?
I love Daphne Du Maurier.
I have a 4 book hardback omnibus - Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, Frenchman's Creek & Jamaica Inn.
I sometimes re-read on a cold, wet day.
I love the old films too - Larry O & Joan Fontaine in Rebecca, Olivia De Havilland (I think) in My Cousin Rachel

I did buy some less well-known DDM books that I got from our Hospice shop but can't remember what they are (I'm currently out).

ETA:
the books are 'Julius' and 'The Parasites'.

I'd a vague feeling that she wrote some books that some people might not be aware of:
The Birds
Don't Look Now
both made into famous films.

Richard Burton was Philip in 'My cousin Rachel' (1952).
Apparently it's being remade starring Rachel Weisz, released next year.
And Olivia De Havilland was 100 yesterday. I didn't know she was Joan Fontaine's sister.

Can you tell I'm bored.......

Just one little 'find' this week but one which has pleased me greatly....50p in the hospice chazza

Burgundy coloured cardi/jacket in sweat shirt fabric...just perfect with a black & burgundy patterned dress that has cap sleeves which show my getting-wobbly upper arms!

Four dungarees for baby (three Next and one TU) and two pairs of jeans, both Next for DsS for a total of £10.50 from local hospice shop. Good results in the new area we've just moved to

A few lovely baking items for me today from a hospice shop - a 12-hole patterned-base metal mini pastry/tart case tray thing (will be great for bite size canapes), a nesting set of four white/blue enamel pudding bowls (the smallest holds a pint, the largest about three pints) and a couple of large silicone ring moulds which might be perfect to use in the dehydrator to hold the puree when making fruit leathers.

All the above for the grand total of £3.50, yay!

Is it easy to get these in and off the baby for nappy changing purposes etc?

They usually have poppers underneath to facilitate changing.
