P u f f a parker jacket, immaculate, £6.50. Think full retail in region of £200 judging by websites. Sale prices are about £150. Looks good, feels good, will be on my back tomorrow and some other items will be evicted to make space for it.

I would take it as a sign....God wants to to turn the heating off and keep this on your back for the rest of the winter

I nipped into a chazzer this lunchtime and restrained myself to just one book ("Neither Here Nor There") to add to the rest of my Bill Bryson collection. I had had half a mind that I might have already bought it, but I am pleased to report I did not.

There are however, 6 books that I have 2 or 3 copies of . On the plus side, they are excellent books well worth sharing with others.

OK, fell off the not buying clothes bandwagon with an almighty thump this afternoon.

Went into my local julias house and picked up a set of 4 pasta bowls for £2.00 originally from next and I also got a cath kidston purse for £1.00.:j

About 25 knitting patterns and lots of them vintage. Excellent.

....all priced at 10p each!

Bought some TOG24 thermal leggings and matching top in red with white spots - arctic range.

Think the top and leggings would have been about £30 each, maybe more as that price is based on black.

Paid £5 for the set from Oxfam.
Perfect fit.

Age UK shop yesterday. They had a full rail of assorted jackets, worth a look. Found two good quality casual, like new, ideal for walking. One waterproof, one warm and padded. £1 each. It is the only £1 charity shop I have seen.

Two antique (well, antique replica anyway) prints in nice wooden frames, 50p each.
DVD of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' 50p.
Small Churchill ware creamer jug, 50p.

Strolled over to the local cs with a colleague at lunch time. She tried on a lovely purple wool coat. It was far too big for her as she has lost a lot of weight. So I tried it on. It fits perfectly. It was £10, so more than I would normally pay for a cs coat. Turns out it's a Jacques Vert and a Google revealed it was £299 new!

Went into Cancer UK as I'm on the lookout for some dressy tops. Nothing caught my eye in that department BUT I did manage to spend £20+: chunky Zara cardigan, bright green Hobbs cardigan, fine knit Jigsaw jumper, fawn pashmina and long, jade White Stuff scarf. As well as that I bought 2 birthday cards. I buy all my basic cards there. It's strange that most of us buy charity Christmas cards but charity birthday cards are excellent too.:)
