(off to google how difficult it would be to get a charger for a "dustbuster". we don't need it, it still has a charge (after 3 years not being used!!) so works but no charger with it. if someone is able to use it I will be very happy to donate it to a CS.)"Never retract, never explain, never apologise; get things done and let them howl.”5 -
It’s about time for me to replace some of my baking tins (having made the rookie mistake of buying cheap ones in the past). They’re not needed particularly urgently, so I will be keeping an eye out in charity shops to see if any hard anodised, heavy, perfect condition ones come up this year.
I was therefore delighted to find a 12 hole bun tin and small roasting dish today - both Stellar - for £2 each. I don’t think either have ever been used! It is so worth watching and waiting if you can 🤣12 -

Ohh I love this thread! My last purchase was a vase .... I needed it was given flowers and realised in my move a few years I had to down size and didn't have one. Brand new £2. But that was just before Xmas.
I'm itching to go down and have a look but the days when iv had time it's been pouring with rain.

No luck in the chazzas this morning. I was hoping for a few bargains what with new year declutters, but nothing took my fancy in the teo I looked in. I spotted a b&h hand wash and lotion set that looked nice, but at £5 seemed a bit steep. Donated a few films that we’ve watched and aren’t worth a rewatch for us. Hopefully someone else will get enjoyment out of them!
I need to do a wardrobe audit and see what I can part with, and what needs replacing. I fell into the trap of buying things in the sales online last year, so hoping to break the habit this year and just buy chazza clothes.
Happy hunting folks!Every act of kindness, no matter how small, isn’t wasted ❤️

No luck for me today either - but that's because there was no parking anywhere near and tipping down with rain. I'll take that as a sign that there was nothing of interest."Never retract, never explain, never apologise; get things done and let them howl.”4

I popped into 1 as I was visiting Green grocer next door. Saw a nice clock ... but put it back down. Regretted it when I got home but it was pouring with rain here and I didn't have a spare bag. I need to pop into village on Monday so if its still there I'm going to pick it up.
