Ok before I fall on the settee I must log today's charity shop buys:

1. A small white jug with a couple of delicate flowers painted on 30p
2. 4 yellow handled dessert forks 40p
3. A bone china mug for mum 3op
4. 4 long, red, rose scented candles. Gift boxed. £1
5. Big bright yellow vase complete with three tall sprigs of white flowers. £1.20

Now a microwaved sweet and sour chicken. Half price special offer just £1.25. Then paid a taking-diabolical-liberties £1.20, for some icing sugar.
Win some lose some.
All in all I think I won today.
