The Ordinary set of cleanser, hyaluronic acid and moisturiser £3. Someone recommended this brand to me so great to try at a bargain price.
White Stuff dark denim, mid calf length pinafore dress £5.50.
Next denim shirt £3. The buttons are covered with denim too which swung the purchase for me.
The donations pile is growing.

That is a good price for The Ordinary products.
It has stopped raining and brightened up so I am about to go and look in a few charity shops!

I can recommend "The Ordinary" range. Does the same job as the premium brands but is a lot more affordable. Am somewhat stunned to see it in a chazzer though!No man is worth crawling on this earth.

Some great bargains there @Potternerd I love the Gap jacket.
I went to post some Bay of E charity sales at lunchtime and popped into Age Concern to see if the teal oodie was still there - alas it had gone. Lesson learnt there!
I did find a Roderick Field 'Blimey' mug in the Hospice shop for 50p. Look unused as still had base stickers on. Also found a BNWT Laura Ashley cosmetic bag and a pair of Hotter shoes which looked unworn - £1.99 and £5.99 respectively, in Oxfam. These will all be Bay of E'd.
For me I got a wool pashmina in lovely pinks. Thought it would serve me well whilst commuting by bus as I'm changing jobs soon. It was £2.99. When I got it home I realised it was Erfurt Denmark and looking online they are around Euro69!!Cross-stitch WIP: Haberdashery Shop Fiver Friday challenge 2025 founding member 😊 Read 25 books in 2025 17/25 Currently reading The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths10 -

Weirdly, I was thinking about pashminas last night! I was thinking of looking for one to drape around my shoulders when I'm watching TV in the evenings and I'm chilly.
It has turned into a beautiful sunny day here. I went to the refurbished Cornerstone store and found a few bargains.
Gap pink jumper, M&S jeans, Atmosphere white cardigan, Peacock dress, cushion and two necklaces. £12.50 for the lot!
