    Hi all, I managed to finish work early today and got time to actually get in a charity shop...

    I bought

    Fat face top, light cotton, my size, looks unworn.

    Denby pot and lid

    Two gorgeous plates

    A huge tupperware container, looks as new.

    A table top food warmer

    A pan stand for hot pans.

    In all the assistant was only going to charge me £8.00 the lot but I gave them £10.00 as it was so cheap.:D

    Wondered if such a place would have a cd like the Tiger Lillies. Was not gutted when they did so not. Walked off with universal hall by the waterboys instead.

    A nice new look top and primark jumper dress - pound each - great new second hand shop opened down my way - does that still count?

    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    A rather glorious ruby red coat, lined with poppies on a white backgound for 50p. Thank you RNLB.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    A pretty floral double duvet cover for £1.99 a large readers digest hardback book, Sarah brown cookery book and another cookery book I've forgotten all 99p a paper weight £3.99 - overpriced but very pretty and two lovely old side plates 99p each - I should stop buying plates - I do have rather a lot!

    It's interesting people's comments on the different shops - my Oxfam is great for clothes - nearly all priced at £2.99 but the bric a brac is ridicoulous and I do point that out - they must hate me - e.g a battered old ladle £3 when you can get three for a pound in Poundland -and I don't mean aesthetically battered - I'm talking rubbish.

    The books are really cheap too - nearly all 99p.

    I do always say how great those prices are but have a bee in my bonnet about the bric a brac - and apparently I'm not alone!
