    just popping in to say hi :)

    I picked up 4 dining chairs that were on the side of the road. Very serendipitous as we desperately needed new ones! I'll claim £20, as could have got some from the local furniture recycling place for £5 each

    £11 on sale clothes for madam ;)

    Not that I'm declaring it here as it wasn't free but I harvested approx £13.50 of organic vegetables from the allotment yesterday which we are having with roast dinner today (madam's birthday meal choice :) )
