Yesterday morning I went to my favourite furniture chazzer as some occasional tables I had been divining for a long time popped up, not cheap but I am very pleased with them. I then went out to lunch with friends in a neighbouring town yesterday so took the opportunity to hit the chazzer-trail afterwards and ended up with a book, and this lightshade for just £4:

Oh that light shade is so sparkly! Just what's needed in these dull days!
My DD had a charity shop find yesterday: an oak display cabinet contemporary with their (older) house for £20. It's now a drinks cabinet. I was quite taken with the Art Deco details.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

On Saturday I had a quick whizz around the massive Cancer Research charity shop at Fforestfach (Swansea), but once again despite being crammed to the rafters with stuff, I didn't spot anything that caught my eye. Fortunate really as I honestly don't need much, clothing wise and am trying to operate a *one in, one out* policy.
Just in case I do spot anything over the next few weeks, this morning I prepared a bag of donations ready to go that includes a couple of White Stuff dresses, a River Island cardigan and an M&S Autograph jumper 😉

I am in Coventry and whilst there are no shortage of chazzers here, they are a thorough disappointment. Top of the pops is the massive Barnados in the retail park, I fully expected to be in chaz-heaven but it was neither impressive with respect to stock nor prices which were quite frankly silly.
I shall stick to my well-known haunts in the Southend 'burbs.No man is worth crawling on this earth.

A Gudrun Sjoden (can't remember how to spell it and it's in the washing machine!) dress. £8.
