An idea stollen from Janelle Wind: "Thrifty thursdays"

I am a great fan of charity shops as we call them here and I have to admit that once a week, and generally on thursdays because I am not working in the morning, I go around the various shops.... I regularly read Janelle's posts  (herehttp://thejanellewindcollection.typepad.com) and decided to also post my finds of which I am so proud , so here you are:


An amazing felt bag!!!! I LOVE it, it was only 5 pounds

A great address book and family organizer for only 2 pounds

A Banana in Pyjamas for flo who loves this program, it was only 1.50 pound  and it sings te program's tune

A pair of boots for Eileen for 10 pounds, I will take a better photo in day light they are a burgundy colour

A puzzle book for Eileen


All this wool for 2 pounds 50



Why do I like charity shops???

1- the money goes to a good cause and helps people less fortunate than us and you feel that your money is put to good use
2- It recycles
3- I buy things I could not afford to buy and it allows me to do shopping therapy at a lower cost
