I am delighted to be the proud owner of a Trespass waterproof jacket for £2.50 If today is anything to go by it is going to get good use this winter!

Mine is a stone colour but I would have been happy with green too.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.8 -
A couple more things I picked up yesterday in the 99p shop….. (now all washed & ironed).
A Hawkshead shirt in a pink & blue pattern and a Zara shirt in a Black Watch tartan patterned brushed cotton with sparkly beaded embellishments above the pockets. The Zara will be perfect for when I take up line dancing*….yeeee hawww!,

@Rosa_Damascena I LOVE that knit coat... what a find!
Just catching up with everyone's bargains. A few of my own today:
- A Craghoppers coat. Warm, waterproof, not very flattering, but much needed for dog-walking. It was £20 and in very good condition. I need to do a coat audit this weekend and put some on Vinted...
- A Masai shift dress. I really like Masai (not new, too pricey!) and this is in a loose shift style. It's grey-ish and I have to go to a funeral next week so it might work for that (I have a more traditional black dress already if not). £8.99.
- A pair of M&S Good Move leggings in purple leopard skin print for £6.59
- A plain black John Lewis knitted polo neck, very classic, very useful. £5.
- a pretty glass-blown window ornament in the shape of a bird. First stocking filler for my Mother in law (we get her a mix of a few new treats and second hand as she loves charity shops almost as much as me). £2.506 -
@Miró - how fabulous to have a 99p store in the near vicinity, I hope you donate back as much as you buy to create a rental platform by another name. The question remains...how on earth did you get anything dry yesterday? It tipped it down all day here and my saturated jeans are now in the WM.
@Magpie100 - I hadn't heard of the Masai brand previously but was encouraged to look online. Pricey!No man is worth crawling on this earth.
