I love the Boden dress and also the Next sundress, that is just my kind of thing!!

Love those dresses @Miro
A cream le Creuset rectangular oven dish (for veggie lasagna) £3
Long denim pinafore dressLabels have been cut out so I don’t know where it’s from £7. It’s nearly down to my ankles but I’d rather have that than too short.  I may have it taken up a bit.
Elastoplast pink leather Fossil clutch bag £3.50. I’m having a bit of a Fossil craze at the mo.
Fuschia pink shiny Converse £6. Think they’re kids.
M and S floaty white top £2.50.
Sanctuary body moisturiser £1.

The denim dress has prompted me to have a bit of a purge of my wardrobe so I have got rid of 4 denim dresses and a denim jumpsuit which were a bit young and/or a bit snug for me. I still have 5 denim dresses and a denim jumpsuit!! I’ve also culled a few tops that were too small.

Ooh that’s a good haul! 😃

Helped out at the work warehouse by taking a load of stuff to the tip but there was a bit too good to just dump so I set aside a lovely 1970s style juice set with large glass jug and glasses all painted with fruit and a large box of plates - all of which went to a chazzer near me.  Nice chat with the lady working there about how neither of us should ever buy scarves as we have too many.  Was just leaving and I spotted a 3 tier plastic box with locking lid that should be perfect for my art stuff.  £2 and it's got a lovely purple lid!!  Now I just need to reorganise my big art tool case.....

@Potternerd, you got le Creuset for £3!!!  Wish I could shop where you shop. 

I'm another who now looks out for toiletries at charity shops or car boots. I got a Sanctuary bath oil for about 50p (I think) when it was about £14 retail. I worry that things might have been opened and used so I wouldn't buy lipstick or eye makeup, but hand creams, bath products, nail varnish are all worth big savings. DH volunteers in a charity shop and was happy to take a toiletries donation that had had minimal use and was in good condition.

I wish I could shop where any of you people shop! The prices round me are prohibitive now, some things would be cheaper to buy new I was looking at a lovely creamy silky shirt the other day. It had obviously been worn with the tags on (collar and armpits a little .....discoloured). Tag price was £24.99, cs label said "£35 - silk". It's not right, isn't that.

Le Creuset for £3 ?! Only in my wildest dreams  

Potternerd

The le Creuset is stoneware, not cast iron but yes it was a real bargain.
im getting a bit more picky and I’m not prepared to buy stuff for silly money.

Er, we counted up my place settings.  I can feed 80 without having to worry.

<Cheerful wave>. I flatly decline to count. The lads say they'll give it all to a gun club anyway, so why worry their pretty little heads with Facts?!.
Bought a Denby Rondo lidded tureen, which they eyed dubiously & I explained this will do nicely for my ashes & they went Even More dubious. Honestly, I am just trying to help them get it right come the day...

My DDad is in the UK for the first time since 2019 and loves a CS and boot fair. Duly got up at 7am on Sunday to take him to a local one. I got some Royal Doulton Morning Star - 3 x dinner plates, 3 x salad plates and 3 x side plates for £2 the lot. The dinner plates are slightly faded but nowt wrong with the other plates so they are all now on my Bay of E account for my charity fundraising. 

I also got a little melamine sandwich tray with robins on and an oversized cappuccino mug with scandi design - both 50p each. These are just for me though.
