saved myself so much money this year by shopping there.
Just before Christmas I bought M and S black PE leggings with pinky red trim £2.99. I then found a black Adidas PE top with the Adidas stripes in the same pinky red in another shop for £3. Mind I’ll need more than matching clothes to shift all the food I’ve eaten this weekend!
Also a Sainsbury’s pretty floral big teacup £1 and an octagonal glass bowl perfect for my Christmas clementine trifle £3.
5 items in the donate bag.
There was an Emile Henri escargot dish - (mislabelled as something in which one could cook quail eggs!) and a lovely square vintage silk scarf apparently designed by one of Mary Quant's team.
2023 £1 a day £54.26/365
Emma Bridgewater pansy vase (£1.50!)
Delia Smith How to Cook, books 1-3
2 other books
3 sporting autobiographies for my brother
Jack Wills jumper

Scallops. A host of legends surround this, one of the loveliest of seafoods, except when overcooked. My favourite true story concerns the young lady scallop preparation worker, interviewed by the 'New Yorker' Magazine. When asked for her honest opinion of the shellfish she said "They don't have much personality".
From Patrick Anthony's International MENU Dictionary.
People must have been having a clear out as they had stacks of bags and boxes by their till!
Poor things, about to over run by the new year decluttering all over again.
I did my duty and helped clear a little bit of space for them by taking 5 books from them, £1 each including one hardback.
They must have had a run on them since my last visit as a lot of new titles in. I could easily have bought double but I only had £5 in cash on me.
