    Just walked home from work and took in three or four charity shops on my way, for the grand sum of £7.50 in total I have managed to snag two turquoise t-shirts, a blouse for work, a black wrap/snug thingy, and best of all a beautiful, unworn linen/cotton turquoise summer jacket. Result! :T

    A couple of weeks ago my local Amnesty for Books had a sale - all books for £1. That was my best charity shop haul in a long time!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I haven't found much at the charity shops recently, but got a BN Emma Bridgewater mug and a set of Sanderson soaps for 50p from a car boot sale on Sunday.:j

    Picked up 3 pairs of m&s jeans on a sale rail for £1 each, they were all long length but ideal for my 3 new pairs of jean shorts :)

    Just need to find a use for the legs I have cut off.

    What about a door stopper or patch work bag.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    See if there is an Emmaus near you, ours charges 30p for all adult books.

    I found BN copies of River Cottage Everyday & Jamies 30 Minute Meals in a local BHF shop for £4 each, also a Hawkeshead fluffy fleece jumper for £3.50 in our local Hospice shop.

    You could try stuffing the legs, wrapping rubber bands tightly round each end and then cover with ribbon bows, so it ends up looking a bit like a big cracker. No sewing involved.

    It might not be an actual bargain, as I have seen similar cheaper on fleabay, but I was happy to pay £24.99 for a solid pine full lenth swivel mirror, not a cheap and nasty one but a very nice looking one.
