Okaaaay....Still waiting almost 10 years for you to send the cookie set as you ignored my numerous messages. Not cool
I got an absolute bargain from Barnardos today: a Christmas pack containing a blank reindeer Christmas card, some sticky gift tags and 2 reindeer coasters came through my letterbox. All of which will be of great excitement to my little niece!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Aww that's a shame.....better luck next time!
Isn't it lovely when a whole outfit comes together consisting of all charity shop bargains? On Monday I got a silver & turquoise necklace for £1. On Tuesday I got a 50's stylee cotton dress, calf length with a half circle skirt in turquoise and lilac for 99p. I felt the dress needed a wide belt and today I found a lilac, wide elastic belt with a fancy brass fastener for 50p. I wasn't sure of the colour as I cannot carry colours in my head very well but it's a perfect match. So pleased! Also picked up a M & S navy leather belt for £1

I took a bag to the hospice shop this morning and came out with a lovely teal-coloured jumper for £4 - looks barely worn. The CS fairies were certainly looking out for me today!
It was the first time I had been able to do a bit of CS shopping for ages - I'm with you Candygirl - I was definitely having withdrawals!0 -
I've also missed it this last week; there isn't really a market for second hand goods in Dubai and no such thing as charity shops!
Been round four local ones today but only purchased in one. I got a teal Hobbs skirt for £8.50 - felt quite steep so I was sure to try it on but it's a lovely skirt and my favourite colour. Also got a jumper which I think will do for some upcoming social engagements, a tank top, scarf and book. Grand total £17.50 so not the cheapest spree but quite a good one 0 -
Despite trailing after husband & son who Had Plans, I overlapped with a Denby Whisper coffeepot, teapot & 6 cups & saucers!
Unfortunately I came home with rather more than they did & there is an Atmosphere.0 -

I found a lesser-known chaz this afternoon and spotted what I was looking for: a 26" round glass flan dish (suitable for rotating on a microwave plate), £2. I thought it was a little on the pricey side, but its what I need this evening so I bought it. I then popped into Wilko to see what they had, and they sell similar Pyrex ones for £4. It was a lighter dish and the sides weren't as high....perhaps I'm trying to justify the price I paid.
I also picked up 4 books @50p each Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

On a slightly sillier note, I have picked up a copy of Christmas At Booths 2018 & am now wondering how soon before the elegantly bound red spine is sighted on charity shop bookshelves.
I personally shelve it alongside fantasy & art myself, but it is a glorious daydream.0
