I had a look at the House of Bruar dress on Fleabay @Miró and think you've got a bargain there, well spotted on the thermal top as well. I'll be glad when I don't need to wear my layers any longer, roll on warmer weather I say.

Was it the creased crumpled b/n one you found.....didn't like to copy that pic to here cos it made the dress look awful.  Looks much nicer in r/l!

I'll definitely be able to find my glasses on the sofa, and at work now 🤪😂🤪.

Excellent! Always good to have strong colours for some things so they come to hand quickly.

@Miró what a frock! As handsome from behind as from the front

Am not sure it will be particularly inexpensive though.

Was enjoying some quiet time in my favourite local chazzer this morning when it was invaded by a large family of 4 adults an 4 kids. Zen ruined, I beat a hasty retreat with a single blouse.

Some purchases today:

A Lindy Bop fit and flare dress in aqua with cat print and self tie belt - £6 in BHF - will wear to Coronation tea party and then Ebay for my charity fundraising.

A BN Peter Pauper Press journal - smaller than A5 but not quite A6 with blue t-i-t and flowers design - £1.25 in PDSA. Really REALLY tempted to keep for myself but may Ebay for my charity fundraising.

A F&M red mini jute bag - lightly used if at all - £1(!!!!!) in St Christopher's Hospice shop. Again, I really want to keep this but will Ebay for my charity fundraising.

Oh I hate it when that happens.  One of the towns I visit has coach loads of chazzerers visiting sometimes….bit of a nightmare for those of us who like to quietly mooch,

Whoops, I was meant to be decluttering and I took two picture frames to donate to Harp today and I found a freestanding makeup mirror, 4 placemats and 4 coasters and a little butterfly-shaped box that matches the other ones I have. That all came to £9.:)
