Charity shopping

Yesterday we went to a big market near us, we've not been to it for years.
We heard that they had a store that sold Xbox and PS games so the boys counted their money out of their moneyboxes and off we set.
They returned not only with what they wanted but Callum, Soloman and Cody bought themselves a second hand DS which they had hours of fun playing with yesterday afternoon.
Today we went to our local charity shop to take three bags of clothes, books and niknaks that I'd cleared out.
Look what I found


400grms of a peach coloured double knit for £1 a 100grm ball and 400 grms of orange 50/50 acrylic/cotton also for £4.
I'm not sure what I'm going to knit with it soon.
Callum returned with a couple of puzzles , Cody with a game and Soloman bought a plane kit that you make a plane with.
A picture of the skirt and braces I'm knitting at the moment


 Me being me though I prefer the pattern on the wrong side!


Malc's at a Cub leader meeting this evening so hopefully whilst the boys are otherwise engaged on their technical devices I will get on with some old fashion knitting!

  3. Charity shops! arent they great. I don't know how other countries manage without them. I often wonder what people in france and Germany do with their old stuff, or where they go to buy interesting second hand things!

    1. We have our favourite one that we like to visit as it seems to have a little bit of everything in so adults and children alike can have a good look.

  4. What a great bargain that yarn was and it sounds like the boys had a good spend too.
