And my favourite bargain:
Air Ambulance - Joe Brown needle-cord sleeveless dress in teal with red, blue and yellow flowers on. Fully lined. £4.45


It's short dress length on me, thick tights and boots and I'm good to go!

This is lovely looking dress, but would be thigh-skimming for me. That would be provided I could do the zip up and breathe at the same time - it doesn't look very generous on top!

I think it's intended to be 'thigh-skimming'.

It's actually described as a tunic

I'd say the model was probably a size 8 so won't be very generous on top but it fits me fine - and I'm not exactly small busted.
It's got princess seaming which I think is a flattering style.

A little meander around my local charity shops today and in the big Sue Ryder barn-type place I found a pair of M & S b/n red leather gloves priced at £3. Dunno what I will wear them with but they look very cheerful! Found em online...original price £17.50 currently on sale at £12.25.

Also called into the Martin House Hospice shop and spotted one of those Ted Baker donations of new garments. Twas a camel coloured wool jacket with 'aviator stylee' gold metal zip fastenings and a swing back and had a beautiful flowery, patterned silk lining. Gorgeous quality. Tried it on but it was extra small size, and I am not, so had to leave it ....was priced at £25.

Some good finds this lunchtime: 2 t-shirts in good condition (Peppa and Frozen) and a denim jacket for my little niece, and 3 books for me, two of which are favourite authors and the third will help me with one of my objectives for this year.

A total of £2 well spent!

Good day for me. I needed preserving jars like Kilner, etc. for my Brexit stores, dehydration goods and sauerkraut. I had even tried Freecycle with no success. Today I found six large 1.5l/1,8l and 2l jars at 50p each. I am well pleased! Ikea prices are great, but I live about 2 hours away from the nearest one to here, so the petrol cost raises the price considerably.

That's a really good price, I've seen Kilner look-a-likes for £2 and £3 before, way too much.
