    Nipped in to a local cancer charity shop. ( They get some lovely things but not that cheap) Long silky dress for my holiday - black with fuchsia shades on hem and the bust area £4 and a brand new turquoise m&s top with 3/4 sleeves and a nice pleated trim on the neckline £6. I know it was on the dear side but the colour was beautiful and perfect condition. It will also go with a couple of other items n my wardrobe ;)

    My neighbour was having some work done today which involved much heavy drilling so inspired by this and the lovely sunshine I escaped to Otley for a mooch around the charity shops and a sit by the river. Called into the St Gemmas 99p shop as I had a purse full of small change that I wanted to get rid of and thought I would at least find a 99p t shirt to spend it on. Ha! Spotted a plain white shirt on the rails, Russell Collection make, (appears to be 'workwear' but a white shirt is a white shirt!!), in a nice herringbone patterned cotton and BNWT. Found it selling on Amazon for £25. Couldn't even have bought the 15 buttons for 99p :p

    Took some bits into Sally Army - saw two lovely 50's style summer dresses, one red and white with a circular skirt, the other black and white - both of them no good for me - right size and length but because I am tall the waistlines were too high :( Consoled myself with a brand new hand held cleaner 600w and heavy, a bit like a dirt devil in Barnardo's for £4.99! Just the jobby on my boat ;)

  • In my local hospice shop Weldmar I picked up a marks and Spencer’s jumper BNWT for £5.00. It’s got a bold flower print all over it and was last years season.

    Well I went looking for a white blouse to wear under the jumper I got the other week ( its a loose knit and very revealing) couldn't find one so need up with a bnwt pink one for £2.50

    Also picked up a lovely white embroidered one with lovely flowing sleeves from Wallis for the same price. Not new but VGC

    Im a happy bunny :)

    Some lovely soft leather lace up Camper shoes, hardly worn for £5 whichever I'm really pleased with but will need a clear out as I've bought a few pairs recently. A white Levi's jacket for the summer £8 which is more than I would usually pay, but other times stuff is super cheap so it all balances out. My local hospice has one of those posh boutiquey shops and I have my eye on a Seasalt skirt in there but it's £15 which is ridiculous as Seasalt had it in their sale for £19, so hopefully they'll reduce the price and I can swoop in.
    My best recent bargain though was a pair of almost new Nike trainers which have prompted me to do Couch to 5K. I'm up to week 6 and have actually managed to run ( very very slowly ) for 20 minutes non stop. Trainers were £4.

    Well done! I'm an avid walker, but have never been able to run. I mean NEVER.

  • Miro - what a thoughtful bloke you have going back for that hat! I must admit I am hopelessly indecisive sometimes when I am out shopping.
