Look! Bargains!
I went to the car boot sale specifically looking for this lead. The charger to our camera uses one that’s really long (1.5 m) and since we take it on our travels, I had a plan to buy another one, cut off the plug and attach the figure-eight plug to a new mains plug, thus shortening it to something more manageable. But lucky me found the exact thing I needed in a plastic tub of assorted junk for 50p!
The exercise books were 10p each from a different person. They’re lined but I bought them for Scarlett to draw in.
Owl, 5p. Come on – 5p? Why sell anything for 5p? We would have bought this for a pound. I’ve used a nice old slot-headed screw that’ll rust nicely in keeping with the colour scheme. It’s taken from my large collection of reclaimed screws. Reclaimed by me from stuff thrown away or recycled.
The most expensive of the lot, an Invicta Weather Board for £4 from Scope. We had to confer about this but decided to buy it. Our original motivation was that it’d look good on the wall then we remembered that we have a child who’d like it.
We bought this in March by the way, I’ve been meaning to blog it for a while. I remember the day vividly – it was Sunday the 20th, there was a light easterly breeze and the sky was either clear or cloudy.
