I'm finding the cost of post/shipping is just too high.   It often doubles the price of the itme I'm looking for

Ok @Miró so storage is your issue. Well, luckily for you I have a small bedroom boxroom that will happily accomodate your purchases. So the solution's the same  

Oh and that frisson is guilt, you're reading it wrong

Right I've got the answer @Miró. You keep your cards and continue buying stuff, but send said stuff to me. That way you've no evidence sat there looking at you making you feel guilty!

But, but, but.....I don't feel guilty!!!  I get a little 'frisson' of delight when I peruse my purchases!  Problem is I'm running out of storage space, I keep having a clear out but it's like painting the Forth Bridge......as soon as I have some empty space it magically gets filled again, almost overnight.  Could someone build me an extension please?????

Not worked for me - more space, more stuff! The law of supply and demand applies.

A happy find in Sue Ryder today: Le Creuset frying pan for £10. Currently £101 online and that's with 30% off.

Shame I'm making soup tonight.

I have decided we need a stove top kettle and getting ready for winter. Any little "free heat" is good. We consider that using the gas to heat is cheaper than electric. I am now on a mission which means me doing some leg work - free exercise. This means nipping in and out and no  browsing. Hmm that could be hard as I am in the throws of throwing out a pair of sandals which will be dead by the end of this summer I think. They are not an item that are likely to be repaired. I could/will make them last till December as I am away with the girls for a week and they (the sandals) definitely wouldn't be coming back. (more space in suitcase) I need to stick to an item out before bringing in. Wish me luck.

I was in the area and was delighted to find the Lions Club chazzer in Leigh open yesterday afternoon (usually closed when I pass by). I bought 2 smart blouses for work, 2 long thin melamine trays, a floral pinboard that matches my bedroom colours perfectly, an oversize mug, some hair accessories and kids party decorations, £9 total. No time to browse the books properly, unfortunately!

Drove through Leigh Broadway w/o stopping - far too crowded! and consoled myself with the thought of a trip to Harp. Disappointment - parking is now chargeable, much too much of a faff putting codes into the phone! Again the traffic was heavy so I didn't stop off further down the road as planned.

Oooooooh so disappointed with BHF in Northallerton today!  They have a supposed ‘Prada’ bag in the window priced at £50.  It is sooooo obviously a fake……they should be ashamed of themselves!  Wish I’d taken a pic now!

(This is the shop that had the fake Dior bag a while back!)

I saw that the other day! Very prominently displayed. I'm not a bag-buyer (usually) so I wouldn't know how to tell.

Did you make it to any car boot sales today? It was too rainy for us but I've been digging for treasure in the loft. Not much luck so far though I did find some shoes I'd forgotten, a sports jacket of DD's and an ornament my Mum made.
