charity shop bargins

[wacky12]

haven't had any good finds for ages, but once managed to get a whole roll of fabric for curtains for a french window + a large picture window in our last rental for £10. i then managed to get 2 people to make them into curtains for me for £10 each..... i sold them on ebay for `£35.

one of our local ones sells all clothes for 50p and i got a shirt for DH for work there last week; he's not sure he'll wear it as it's red..... he prefers as dark as possible in colour.... he used to wear only black.

Oh my goodness - just took a reluctant toddler charity shopping for new jigsaws (we've mostly stayed in this week due to hand, foot and mouth, and we're both getting a bit cabin-fevery...) and we got FIVE nice ones - either ELC or M&S, really good quality ones, and a set of dinosaur dominoes, and a Shirley Hughes book and a Puddle Lane book, all for 40p. Not 40p each, 40p in total.

WTF?!!!

Yep - and we've just played them all, and there is not a single piece missing, two of them were still sealed and never played, and one of the boxes had a bonus set of those octagon-piece things that all slot together - Octons I think? Not proper ones, they're small and cheap looking but there's about a hundred of them!

Today has been a super-WIN day

Today's charity shop bargain is a pair of leather brand new with tag Karrimor hiking boots!!! £15. Perfect size. Couldn't believe my luck.

And not quite charity shop - but I got a tall ikea red stained wooden bookcase on Gumtree for £10 from someone round the corner. A-bleemin-mazing! Just was I needed.

I have been after 'the dwelling place' by Catherine Cookson and 'Moab is a washpot' by Stephen Fry for ages and have go both in the last 2 weeks for £2.34.
Not necessarily a bargain but I got a gorgeous tin for the Pickle today - The label on it shows it originally had sweets in but it is covered in a Noah's Ark scene (in relief) and has so many animals and is just gorgeous - £1. It will be her special things tin and I love it.

I nearly forgot - A brand new Bang on the Door Groovy Chick childs suitcase with wheels for £2 a few weeks ago.

I'm on the look out for some knights to go with a set MIL got the Monster so browse often
