I'm trying to declutter so I don't buy much, but I did find a set of three oblong enamel dishes, brand new still with the labels on, £4.99 for the set. I've wanted some for ages. I shall take 3 of my Pyrex dish's to the charity shop on a 'one in, one out' basis.Chin up, Titus out.0

Nice to hear you're starting them off young, marywooyeah.
I bought a Wallis tunic dress in a black silky material with a bright and bold design of (I think) gladioli all down the front and back and it's fully lined.
£4.99 Barnados
Will be OK as a short dress in the summer and with opaque tights and a cardigan in the winter.0 -
Last week I bought a book I'd be keeping an eye out for (£1) and a BN puzzle set for the LO for £3.49. I deliberated on this for a while but then decided life is too short, I'll just sacrifice the next cup of coffee out which is a small price to pay.
It turns out it retails on eBay for £12.99, £7.29 on AmazonValue-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
