On Wednesday we finally made it to headingley. We were nearby due to an MRi . The shops were lovely but I didn't succumb until we visited oxfam. There dh spotted some Indian tree crockery by maddocks. It's a really popular pattern that lots of companies have used but we have pulled together virtually an entire dinner service from cs visits. Anyway there were 2 tureens a gravy boat and stand and a small platter. Ideal as although we've got some we use it as our Xmas dinner service and we are always short of tureens. Anyway £9.50 for the lot and we were delightef

Pleased to hear you made it to Headingley eventually and found some nice buys too

Spent the last two days trawling round the charity shops of Thirsk, Northallerton, Ripon and Harrogate which has been a nice change from my usual haunts. Bit :eek: at the prices though....much higher than my usual stomping ground! Only buy was a black, Betty Barclay, viscose & angora jumper with a sequinned cowl neck and cuffs. Price was £10 in one of the Harrogate chazzas which is far more than I would usually pay but I have just the right skirt to go with it and just the right occasion to wear both (NY Eve), so was happy to splurge, (again!).

Boyfriend was very pleased with his Christmas present from my mom - 0.99p Star Wars mug from My Mom’s local charity shop ��

Found a Denby teapot, what a shock. Also a nifty over the shoulder pack of military spec, a fiver new to us & not much change from £30 on the website. Husband got a couple of Daily Mail repro Princess Mary tin for a pound a pop, still wrapped & has cheerfully pressed one into it’s proper use as a tobacco tin...

I think I’ve been having cs withdrawal over Xmas but we visited a few today. A rather surprising buy was a mannequin dressed in a tutu it’s about 5ft tall and cost £10 and will look great in did bedroom

bobsa1 congrats on your china find. Just had a look at the pattern as one I wasn't familiar with . You must be delighted .

Miro, the splurge is a bargain whilst it is the perfect item for new year. I like Betty Barclay one of my favourite tops is from her range.

That's a lovely idea and something I have always intended to do myself. Trouble is when it comes to it I can never bear to part with a scarf even if I've bought it for that very reason

I'd never heard of 'Betty Barclay' before but I see that John Lewis sell that make so they must be reasonably good

I use teatowels as bottle bags. So whenever I take you a bottle of wine, you get a new tea towel. My sons do it as well.

Wondercollie - this is a lovely idea - two gifts in one, and no waste

Miro, I found my Betty Barclay top lasted really well, I think it is good quality
