Called into 14 chazza shops yesterday and came away with just one black M & S t-shirt at 99p from the St Gemma's Hospice Shop and from the 20p shop I got a pack of sheets of clear sticky on silicone covers for Mac keyboard keys.  I seem to be heavy fingered on keyboards and quickly wear off the letters & numbers so I need to put this in a memorable safe place for when I next get a new keyboard.  Did see a nice bottle green heavy jersey dress....just my stylee, fitted, knee length and elbow length sleeves but they were asking £20 for it in the Ilkley BHF shop and it wasn't even a premium label either so I left it....pfffftt.

It does work and the crockery is beautiful.
i picked up a pair of BN foot glove shoe boots. They have quite a high heel but will be great for going out. £5.00 (Samaritans) and a workwear jacket, Choise by Danwear, that was on the sale rail for £2.50. It’s a tweed type jacket in shades of beige, mushroom and grey. It will get a lot of wear.

Those are so pretty, very whimsical, I love the grooves on them.

For once in my life I was in the right place at the right time today!  Was wombling through the community chazza shop when I saw an elderly gentleman come into the shop dragging a suitcase.  I heard him complaining to the assistant that he couldn't cope with the thing as it kept running away with him, (it was a four wheel drive spinner type).  He also said that it was brand new.  As he left the shop I flew across faster than Usain Bolt and asked it it would be going on sale immediately.  The answer was 'yes' and a ticket for £5 was slapped on it.  Inspecting it I was amazed to see it was a Tripp medium size suitcase, in a fetching shade of 'grape' and it had the padlock & keys still attached inside.  Just what I have been looking for since baggage handlers broke off two wheels on my Antler and the airline refused any compensation or replacement as they said the case was still useable!!  I am beyond thrilled with this find    Before nabbing the suitcase I had already purchased a Jaegar pure wool checked long scarf in a burgundy/black/grey check for 75p.

Whilst in town yesterday I was very lucky. I acquired two new coats. First one is by TIGI and is a quilted peach skin texture coat in a fabulous teal colour. It has had little or no use. Lightweight but very warm £6.
Second one is Dannimac. It’s a navy showerproof coat with a hood. I love that it’s button fastening rather than a zip. This one has inspection label intact and is in pristine condition. £7.50
