A BNWT Pretty Little Thing denim dress £5. It’s  a sleeveless sheath dress that comes just below the knee. It did have channels on each side with long strips of denim so you could ruche it up but I took them out. 

BNWT M & S Good Move black PE leggings £5. Exactly what I was looking for.
Asos denim shirt with deep cuffs £5
Clarks ankle length wellies VGC look hardly used £2. Purple with pink soles. I think they’re kids as they are size 2.


8 items to be donated so I’m at -6. I’m going to try and keep a running total for items in/items out. So far 5 in 11 out.

It seems that us savvy lot are sensible enough to realise that 'designer' doesn't always mean 'desirable'.

 Spotted another pricy 'bargain' yesterday, this time in the normally really cheap community chazza.  Twas a pair of b/n ankle boots by either Ted Baker or Kurt Geiger, (can't remember).  Black leather dotted with small coloured sparkly stones all over and priced at £75....think they said original price around the £200 mark   I do hope this isn't indicative of future trends in chazza prices??!!

I'd expect something like that to be about £75 in the sales so I certainly wouldn't pay that from a charity shop.
Some KG boots are 70% off on their website.
TB are less generous.

I bought a pair of Clarks ankle boots yesterday from the hospice shop.
Minky brown suede with a faux-fur trim top and strap/buckle across the ankle. Little worn, tops are free of scuffs & marks. £4.00

My last 3 handbag purchases are from the local £2 chazzer and they are not only very smart but practical. The £100 one pictured would stay on the shelf even at £2.

I remember a work colleague enthusing about her recent ebay purchase of some designer bag that she paid ONLY £250 for.  For a used handbag!!!  And it was what I can only describe as pig ugly.  My look of astonishment at what she paid made her think I didn't like a nice bag so I pointed out the new one I'd just bought, brand new, perfect for bringing all my bits and pieces and lunch to work, shoulder strap long enough to wear cross body and I boasted that it was from a very posh store in Germany.  And then I mentioned it cost me only 9 euros and came filled with a six pack of beer as they were selling them during Oktoberfest.

St Johns (Worcs) yesterday.

Bright red North Face fleecy jumper - £6. I tend to wear red and white at the football and, as we’re now the lowest ranked team to still be in the FA cup, I’ve been on television a few times! 

Grey squirrel toy for my sister’s Forest school lessons. £1

Another trip to the 99p St Gemma's Hospice Clearance shop today.  Upstairs in the books/household section I spotted a great wodge of b/n curtain fabric hanging from a heavy duty wooden coat hanger.  Soooo much fabric it was difficult to judge the width/length.  Siingle colour yellowy cream damask fabric with a big sort of chrysanthemum flower & leaves pattern in a traditional style.  Not my kind of thing but I have a friend who is currently re-styling a dining room in a traditional style and the room has  huge windows so for 99p(!) I thought it worth a gamble on both pleasing said friend and also being enough fabric.  Anyhoo, after staggering home with the weighty bundle I have found that there is just over 9metres of fabric x 140cm wide which has already been cut and pattern matched into 4 lengths.  Have sent a pic and description to friend so it looks like we will be curtain making at the week-end!!!

Golden damask, I like it! Would be perfect for reupholstering my sofas (also chazzer finds, barely used and donated by a hotel).

I've been on the lookout for silver shoes (bridesmaid shoes), the bride loves a bargain so I'm pretty sure she will be fine with it. None so far but I have a few months.

Amazing material find @Miró
