    Am back home - cashmere cardigan is in the freezer - thank you!!!

    Sudbury netted me 7 Whittard dinner plates and a bowl for the sum total of £8.50 - to sell on, plus another khaki cardi for me - only cotton/viscose mix and £3.50. 
    Funny you should mention Whittard - I visited an attraction in a deprived part of East London with my little niece the other week and she asked if there was a Whittard store nearby, as she likes the hot chocolate. I explained that Whittard of Chelsea does not site its stores indiscriminately and we would have to travel further west to find one.

    The other day I popped into a local chaz whilst my car was at the garage - and came away with a Next dress and blouse, a further silk dress (which I will wear as a long blouse over trousers in the summer) and another blouse for just £1 each. I also bought at BN Cotton Traders tote bag for £5 - image taken from an eBay listing - and a big box of girly stationery for my niece for £4. I can't find it using Google lens but would guess it retails at least twice the price.

    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
