    Not my buys ,but my DD bought for me ,a large Pyrex covered dish,for £2.50p cos I complained that my old dish didnt hold enough corned beef pie for me and her father to keep for afters,
    she also bought me for another £3 a box full of beautiful Kanban papers and decoupage ,I make lots of hand crafted cards ,these usually retail for about £15 on Create and craft ,so for £5.50 I think I got a good deal

    Today's finds a pair of M&co trousers still with the £35 tag on for £2.50 and 2 Orla Kiely handbags for £3 each.
    The bags are an PVC coated cotten/ oil cloth type fabric and have a few marks on them, does anyone have any ideas how to remove the marks?

    Well I ventured into our local charity shop for the first time today & came away with a bagful of bargains:

    1 N3XT coat for my LO age 2-3 years - £2.99
    1 N3XT rugby shirt age 12-18 mths - £1.99
    1 pair L1lliputs cargo trousers - £1.49
    1 red cardigan, by a brand I don't know, but it is immaculate £1.99
    James Corden autobiography, DH Xmas pressie £3.99 - this prob would have been cheaper on Amazon but you can't tell it's even been read so prefer to give my money to a charity.

    Am very pleased & will be popping in there on a regular basis to see if I can snaffle any other bargains!
