That sounds great, @Miró! An amazing bargain and you're lucky I didn't see it first! I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I walked to a hidden chazzer today, it's really a case of a locality you don't venture into if you don't need to be there (especially not at night). The pickings were good.
Another good sized stainless steel kettle which I will post a picture of when it comes out of the dishwasher plus SS milk jug and sugar bowl for £1.60, a stack of books for just 20p each, a lovely "fur"-trimmed poncho for my little niece for £3 (a tad pricey but she will look the business in it, or like her auntie at any rate!) and a BN sew-your-own dolly kit which will keep her occupied for £1.
Eta: I have just had a count up and I actually have 10 SS kettles, not including the one I gave Mum last week.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.4 -
I suppose given my scarfaholia I am not best placed to ask this but why do you need 10 SS kettles?Rosa_Damascena said:Eta: I have just had a count up and I actually have 10 SS kettles, not including the one I gave Mum last week.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe and Old Style Money Saving boards.

I went into a few charity shops today in Leigh-on-sea. I felt like I hadn't been in a shop in ages. I got a navy scarf, a purple scarf, a black hat and two pairs of gloves, one red and one black.:)
I'm wearing the black hat, purple scarf and black gloves out tonight as it could get very cold later.7 -
That is a v good question!! Much as I don't enjoy proper meals, I am a little obsessed with tea, coffee and cake and will indulge in the liquid element at least 4 times a day. But even so 10 is a high tally.Brie said:
