The best car boot to me keeps being cancelled because of the weather. Hopefully there will be at least a couple before the end of the season. My charity shops are all a bit high end so pickings are few and far between7

I had a bit of luck at the chazzer yesterday, I have been after an electric kettle-style milk frother for coffee for ages but am not prepared to spend £20+. So it was sheer luck that I found one in good working order for £3 yesterday. Its also a dream to clean: add the minimum fill of hot water and tiniest drop of washing up liquid, and press play for 10 seconds. Rinse out and dry when cool.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.8 -

Winter wear is back in local chazzers, two goodies found recently (Damart and telemac):
The top one is navy blue (not purple), lined and semi-quilted inside.....and ginormous.No man is worth crawling on this earth.

I am impressed @Rosa_Damascena, you will be warm and dry this winter.
I have been looking at warm tweed jackets, but I am going to “borrow,” one from DH’s wardrobe which he can have back if it ever fits him again.8 -
