    I think the majority of charity shopping will be donations this week having cleared out my dad’s kitchen & my childhood bedroom while I’m staying to help him after an op but I did manage to pick up some Pyrex bowls with lids for £1.50 each (you can never have enough Pyrex IMO!) & a shelf-with-small-drawers thing for our new kitchen for £5 (rrp £25).

    I agree that you can never have too much Pyrex. Yesterday we bought two Pyrex pie dishes £1.50 each and 3 books for £1 each. Today we bought two Pyrex dishes, ideal for crumble/ shepherds pie £1.25 each. Along with two new baking trays for £2 each, a Boofle dog £2, a book for £1 and a pair of Oasis jeans (that look brand new) for £4.50 (would cost £60+ in the shop.

    I did see a new James Parterson hardback book for £4 but left it in the cs.

    The cs gods were listening again. I've been looking to buy a molton Brown bubble bath bauble as a gift but at £10-12 plus postage i was putting it off. Anyway today in the cs was a boxed bauble unpriced so the kind volunteer for a price for me £1.50 hurray.
    I also went in a cs i haven't been in for years. It was lovely so goodness knows why I don't visit regularly but anyway I got a Dorothy perkins jersey skirt which will be perfect for next week's holiday to Spain £1. A pair of uworn clark s shoe boots, the twins of some i bought a few weeks ago from another cs and that have never been off my feet £4. A mustard jumper £1.25 and a pair of m and s trousers for £2. Very pleased with my haul

    Picked up a lovely tapestry style cushion cover with a stag on it, luckily I had a pad that fit it - £1.50. 3 dvd's for £1, these will find their way back to the cs at some point.

    We went with Dd she 14 to the garden center today to view the Xmas things. Whilst in the locality we did a couple of cs we don't normally go to. Massive bargains to be had in the shape of 2x lombok Silk cushions £2 each. Similar on website are £50 each eek. Who pays £100 for two cushions? They had an emma Bridgewater Halloween mug for £6 that I eagerly swooped on and a white company woolly scarf for £2. The next cs (both a local hospice) yielded some immaculate full length curtains that I think are cath kidston for £4.50 a pair of burgundy skinny jeans that dd spotted for £2.50 (it appears cs shopping is ok if she gets a bargain item ) originally m and s and looked to have little wear. I got a kate mosse book that I did have but sent to the cs some time ago and have been thinking about £1 and we got eldest dd a £4 authentic American football shirt that will go in her stocking for xmas. Her stocking will be an eclectic mess to behold lol
