Love the Beautiful South, must catch up on Paul Heaton at Glasto! My fave:Brie said:
I immediately thought of the Beautiful South song....Rosa_Damascena said:Last night I dreamed of visiting chazzers that only ever exist in my dreams (sad but true)...so I took it as a sign to make up for the lack of chaz activity over the past week.
5 books, £1.80 in total. Am looking forward to doing some art history with my little niece:
A set of boxes that will be perfect to store my dressing table clutter, £3:
A Wallis blouse, and velour scarf which is far more beautiful than in the photo - £1.50 total.
And finally, a summer jacket from Thomas Pink that I thought would be huge on me (I'm a 14 but usually go for 16 in jackets to allow for thick clothing) but actually fit very well, £2:She's a perfect ten, but she wears a twelveBaby, keep a little two for meShe could be sweet sixteen, bustin' out at the seamsIt's still love in the first degree.....

Eta: I rocked Jacqui Abbott hair in the late '90s and looked the business, or so I thought at the time

Heaton put on a great show - the only one I watched in fact. And someone commented that even in summer he's still wearing his coat!Rosa_Damascena said:

Just got tickets for him in Brighton in December!! We'd seen him in Scarborough last summer and so OH's name is on a mailing list and about 2 weeks back he got a card in the post with a picture of Heaton in the back of a chip shop and there was a wooden chip fork on the reverse with the name of his next album. Got on to the presale list and got great seats!!! My birthday treat!!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

I was just talking about the Beautiful South yesterday to my friend (who used to DJ) as he was talking about watching Glastonbury. I used to love the Beautiful South when I was a teenager.

Well, the ☀️ was shining brightly on a b/n Crew & Co yellow dress priced at £4 at the Bedale Car Boot this morning and I could not resist it. Don’t usually wear yellow tho but it just looked so cheerful. Also got an ice cream scoop and a ladle for 20p each and another trug for £3. Could not understand why so few sellers on such a glorious morning? Did you go @Cherryfudge? Are you going to the first Northallerton one tomorrow? Can’t make it myself as setting off for Northumberland shortly for a few days 😊
