    A slightly battered Le Creuset cast iron gratin dish. £1.00. I cooked our dinner in it tonight.

    How can le creuset get battered? I can see someone getting battered with le creuset... but the other way around?!

    I bought a brand new cassette player from a car boot sale today for £2.00. I was planning to buy one from Argos for £30.00, so I've saved £28.00 :j

    I have to join in on this one, because I'm so proud of my little bargain lol

    I bought my twins a Leap Frog Learn and Groove Activity Station, for £4 in the charity shop. It was in great working order, just needed a bit of a clean. These things are retailed at about £79.
    It was a right booger to get home though, I had to carry the thing all the way back:D
