Jolly good heavy bag haul for me yesterday.
A replacement plant pot £2 - a nicer colour and larger size than the one I broke the day previously from having a falling episode - thanks brain! But the Universe made it feel better with the plant pot find. Yorkshire Cancer Charity Shop
A pair of lovely laurel/Richmond green and off white damask style fabric harem summer trousers £5, my short legs are pleased with this find even if my purse was a bitStill they spark joy so I'm sure my purse and I will recover. Sue Ryder
Then... we have the grand total of £15 books. 6 from Sue Ryder (£1 each) and 7 from Yorkshire Cancer (£6 as he gave me a multipurchase discount, which was nice because 2 of them were £1.50 alone).
A mix of easy chick lit stuff, some historical crime types, some thrillers and two by a chap called Mark Manson with sweary titles that I'm really looking forward to reading.
There was also a lovely glass dome and dish affair (I think maybe for cheese or cake) not a standing one with feet, just completely flat. That was marked up at £4. I don't know what I'd use it for my mind seems to want it.... Maybe if I wander by again today....

I bought a two seater cream damask sofa last week in our local charity shop warehouse for £55 inc delivery. It needed a clean but otherwise in immaculate condition. I removed the cushion covers to wash them yesterday to discover it was a Laura Ashley sofa! My new pride and joy, if my cat ever lets me sit on it.Flowers are sunshine for the soul19

That's a lovely sofa.
My BHF sofa lasted 10 years. My eBay £30 replacement is looking good after 3 years (I'm sitting on it now!)9 -
