Good Evening to you all!
Been a bit wet and nasty today!
Usually we go out for a country walk, followed by
the food shop.
But today..............we went straight to Didsbury.
I made a bee line as always to Oxfam, and boy, was a ever glad I did.
I spotted this mug........it's a Cath one......£1.99p!
Mint condition!
Cheers to whoever donated it!
Then we popped to ALDI........they have some super Christmas foodie bits in....like this Panettone!
I've just finished a piece and it is so delicious!
The rest of the shopping is total dullness........so I won't bore you with that!
I'm also making my own cards this year, using this little bird from the CK gift catalogue (spare copy) there are 26 birds which can be cut out, which is handy as I don't have loads of cards to send out. I'm a little bit smitten with this bird design......I purchased the honeycomb bird along with the other stuff that day in CK (see two posts down)It's too cute!
So they are practically free!
Brill!
Well, I'm going to make yet another cup of tea, grab some chocolate (ALDI choccie is yum!) and watch Notting Hill.
Tomorrow I'm heading to Buxton......visiting my good friend Adele!
I'm so looking forward to it!

Love the look of those birdie cards! What a neat idea.
Great finding the CK mug...I broke my Cowboy one this week. There was very nearly tears!
My mate, 'techie support' lives in Buxton; it sounds like a beaut of a place to live. Have a lovely day out tomorrow!

I saw those birds in the catalogue and thought how sweet they were! What a great idea for christmas cards, even better that they're hardly going to cost anything. I do hope we get to see them! :o)

Very pretty birdies Mel and thanks for reminding me that a visit to Aldi and Lidl are required for a stock up of very reasonable and tasty goodies. Cleaning, dusting and deccies up today .... a day earlier than planned! Have a lovely weekend x

Well, as you know, I hung my curtains. I can't believe you found that mug! I would so love to have something from CK!

Love the mug,can never have too many CK mugs eh?!
I say every year I'll make my own cards,but I never seem to get round to it.
We had to trip to Aldi yesterday,OH wanted to get a pair of those ice grips for his boots,but they'd sold out :0(
Have a relaxing day.
What a great find! And I love panettone, too - I get one every year as a treat for Christmas, and because my family are not so keen, I usually end up eating all of it1

Findig CK in charity shops is definitely a smile inducer!
