Shop Charity in '23!

Cherryfudge

Some really good finds there everyone! Makes me want to be out there finding treasure.

I am not in competition at the moment as I'm still Covidatious, but look what I found to look forward to:

Good afternoon all. My name’s YoungBlueEyes and I have a problem. 

On recommendation by lovely neighbour I went food shopping this aft to a new-to-me shopping centre/retail park thing. First place I saw when I got there was a huge clearance cancer research jobber! Spent nearly 2 hours having a good look through every shelf and rail and box and bought a new top and a few more books (2for£1). I was half way home when I realised I didn’t even go into any other shop! I couldn’t be bothered going back so it hit Aldi on the way home. 

I’m not fit to be let out 🤪

I had a wander around my nearest large village today - came home with a cerise fine wool scarf, a Next dress for work, a khaki dip-hem tunic (ideal wfh outfit with my camo leggings!) and a lovely turquoise cowl necked technical walking top. I also found a couple of recent bn John Grisham hard backs, and a copy of the Persiana recipe book so I can drool over the photos!

You do indeed have a problem

As do I! A simple trip to the library today involved a detour to 2 local chazzers: 3 books for £1 and a giant mug for 50p in the first, and 4 books for £1 and a metal and pink crystal butterfly bookmark for £1 in the second. Olio is encouraging book donations this month, I can't bear to part with a single one!

I think I might go back to my John Grishams, been so long since I’ve read them. You can’t do that when you’ve given them away - stay strong Rosa!  I’m considering catching up with the last few Jack Reachers as well. I gave up on them when his brother/son (?) started writing them with him…

I've had a good week at the chazzers. On Sunday I visited my favourite, bought a bolero suitable for wearing over work dresses instead of a jacket in the summer, a smart cream blouse with a lace trim, a skirt from Nightingales (a brand I have never heard of) BNWT and one other item which I now can't recall all for £10. But best of all I bought what I thought was a Philips slimline CD player to use in the kitchen for £25 where I can sing along without causing a local disturbance. Not only is the sound quality beautiful, but it is so much more than a CD player - a clock, DAB player and the option to stream from digital sources. I have yet to figure out all the functions but am going to have fun trying.

Then I nipped into a local chazzer just before closing during the week, and nabbed 3 books for £1, a pair of embroidered jeans for x£2, 2 scarves for £1 and a blouse for £1. £5 well spent

I remembered what this was as I pulled it out of the washing machine this afternoon: a lightweight, open-fronted Clements Ribeiro blazer. Nothing like the monstrosities of this season's geometric look, this is far calmer and suited for a work environment.

My new butterfly:


@YoungBlueEyes - I've never read Jack Reacher but like the writer known as Lee Childs. I've seen him interviewed a couple of times, including BBC Hard Talk - they don't make men like him any more!

YoungBlueEyes

@Rosa_Damascena - Jack Reacher is Lee Child's character, he's a strong silent brutal type. V good

Love the Jack Reacher books - think I've read them all so far unless there's been a new one out recently!

If you have Prime the series on there is good.  Apparently there will be a 2nd series sometime this year - will look out for that.

YoungBlueEyes

I don't know about recent releases... I think I'm maybe 3 or 4 behind. I don't have Prime so I can't comment on that, but I've seen the films and they're pure dross. What they hired that snaggle-toothed short-4r5e for I don't know
