I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online so I thought I'd start a bit of a monthly round-up of some of the pre-loved bargains that I buy each month. We've had a couple of month's break due to the most recent lockdown but I'm back with some January bargains!OK, I'm going to start with the pre-loved purchase that I suspect will have some people shaking their head in disgust but please bear with me... I treated myself after working a lot of overtime last year - most of the money I earned from the extra hours … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved bargains {November 2020}….
I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online so I thought I'd start a bit of a monthly round-up of some of the pre-loved bargains that I buy each month. Here's this month's little round-up.(Also, I should say that I bought this little lot just before lockdown kicked in)What could be more perfect for this time of year than this super fluffy, super warm hooded jacket? It was £7.99 which I'm really pleased with considering the quality of it - honestly, it's super soft and so comfortable and the picture doesn't do it … [Read more...]

This month’s pre-loved bargains {September 2020}….
I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online so I thought I'd start a bit of a monthly round-up of some of the pre-loved bargains that I buy each month. Here's September's selection.There's nothing I like more than a good rummage through the local charity shops but until this last couple of weeks, I haven't stepped foot inside of one since the start of March.

Some new additions to my wardrobe….
Honestly, I feel like I've had the craziest few months with everything that's been going on here! Between the Summer Holidays, work and all my Dad drama I genuinely haven't had chance to breathe since the middle of June which is when my Dad took a turn for the worse.With him being settled in his new home and the kids back at school, I'm hoping that a little bit of normality is going to return to our lives.
