For the last few months I’ve been keeping an eye out for things to help me keep the kids occupied during the Summer holidays and I’ve managed to build up a nice little collection of things that I’m hoping will keep them quiet…. For a while anyway 😉
A Go-Kart for £2.50
Rollerblades for Miss Frugal for £1.50. I also bought a training pair for Master Frugal for £1.00
A big basket of Bratz dolls clothes for £1.00 – It’s a bigger basket than it looks in the photo and has about 100 items in it. I asked the price and when the lady said it was just a pound, I hesitated as I thought she’d given me the wrong price and she offered to throw in the pretty basket aswell!
A real stethascope which came as part of a pretend vets set including dress up things, an animal carrier, a poorly doggy and lots of other vets equipment for just £1.00. Included in error I think as it’s a proper doctors one!
The seller practically forced this one on us – A Crazy Frog microphone and game for just 25p. I tried to say no but Master Frugal had 30p in his hand and was as determined to buy it as the lady was to sell it. To be honest I think the woman would have paid us to take it off her hands if we’d asked her too 😉 I have a sneaking suspicion that the batteries are not going to last very long at all.
And finally, a few books to keep me going – £2.00 for the pile.

It's amazing how long batteries last in things you don't want them too, so I've got my fingers crossed for you (and your sanity) on that crazy frog. Great collection of finds though!
I'm thinking of running a giveaway for the crazy frog lol – inless of course you want first dibs on it lol
wow amazing finds the go kart and dolls what fab bargains!
Thanks very much – I can't believe it myself x
