I saw the same ones in Home Bargains, originally priced at £1.99 but marked down to the same as Poundland as the stores are close to each other. Some packs had eight in, other six.

I know a sandy spot just behind Shoreham power station that is never crowded as it`s away from shops and toilet facilities.<br />Here, I sometimes go for a swim in the summer. Can`t stand crowded beaches, so that`s a good spot to take baby Alyssa for her first paddle in the sea this coming summer.<br />Haven`t you done well with your bargain buying!

So pleased George has found a good home he is such a handsome boy and bound to get spoiled. The broccoli meals look good, I tolerate broccoli cos its supposed to be good for us but not so keen really. Sainsburys have dried cat food for £2 for 2kilos but the feral cats I feed are not overly keen on it so I got Whiskers dried for older cats at £4 for 2ks talk about pampered pussys. I had not seen the little black cat for some days but at lunchtime today he was at the feeding bowl then went and sat further up the path and didnt move away when I went outside to clear some things up,, he is a lovely little cat Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-88010254035904459842014-03-10T16:14:57.644+00:002014-03-10T16:14:57.644+00:00I think people are so sick of the winter and havin...I think people are so sick of the winter and having to stay indoors so much that they don't even care if the beach is crowded! They want to get some sun and enjoy the warmth I guess. You got some nice stuff at the sale and really good prices too! What are you going to do with the beads? Anything in mind?

Also, I have never been to a car boot sale. Consequently, I have very little crafty stuff (I don't tend to buy from charity shops very much as I think that many are overpriced) - so well done to you on all fronts.

I read about Irlen syndrome, so I'm trying to avoid bright lights like the bright yellow, but dark grey is so dull. I do like yellow, it is just a bit bright on the eyes on screen. Perhaps next time a mid sky blue, but not the bright type?<br />I hope you are going well. I can understand your not wanting to go to exercise classes in the hall, you seem more the loner type than the groupie! But perhaps loners must find ways to keep fit in winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-45528478910129217092014-03-10T02:15:58.112+00:002014-03-10T02:15:58.112+00:00you got some great buys, love the 2nd necklace! an...you got some great buys, love the 2nd necklace! and the 4th!<br />sounds like a wonderful day!<br />hope you have a terrific week!anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269208573774815462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-54887412816144119312014-03-09T23:59:49.363+00:002014-03-09T23:59:49.363+00:00Yes I'm the same give me a beach with no one o...Yes I'm the same give me a beach with no one on it any day lol I feel the same about eating out not that I eat out how people sit right next to each other in over crowded small places never been my thing over this way in the world I'm sitting in my garden and see signs of autumn :) very shortly it will be goodbye long hot Australian chew up my money air conditioner summer and hello mild chilly winter .injoy!LouiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-4611585480265915272014-03-09T23:07:43.480+00:002014-03-09T23:07:43.480+00:00Forgotten how good the sun makes me feel.
