My recent chairty shop bargains

I'm a few days late on posting this as i had to return a few things as i was to porky to fit in them :( so the post seemed abit pointless with 1 or 2 things in, so here we go my recent charity shop bargains

 Pillow £3.OO

 Can't remember what i paid for this think it was something like £2.5O

 M&S blazer £2.5O

Oasis blazer £3.OO 

 Bow blouse £2.5O

Top for daisie from M&S 8Op

I also got Daisie some books 4Op each :) the perks of being a volunteer is half of this didn't make it onto the shop before because i had grabbed it. If you don't already pop into a charity shop there really is some hidden gems in those places :)

Day two of volunteering

Today i spent my day out the back sorting out donations, labeling and steaming the clothes before they went out, I stayed until close today (5pm) even tho i was booked in for 9-3 as lame as it sounds it really is pretty fun :) My feet are completely blistered where I've been on my feet all day and chose to look good rather than comfort, Super chuffed with today's bargains it's amazing what gets thrown out as it's not suitable to go out on the shop floor too, Today i got 4 cushion covers FREE because they don't smell to fresh and need a wash, 3 candle holder 5Op and a gorgeous multi photo frame for the girls room for £1

 FREE cushion covers, £1 photo frame & 5Op for all 3 of the candle holders

I'm also amazed that although I'm a body piercer and the piercing thing on this label gun is pretty much the same yet i find this alot tougher than piercing peoples skin

Day one of volunteering in my local marie curie charity shop

So yesterday was my first day of volunteering at my local marie curie charity shop, i'm so glad i decided to pop in and ask about volunteering on my first day i learnt how to work the till and was on  the shop floor, aswell as labeling & steaming the clothes before they went out :) I'm chuffed i managed a whole day without freaking out it really doesn't seem alot to most people but for me this was a HUGE step, I'm back there again on weds, i also managed to pick up some amazing bit, next steps are to enroll on a GCSE course and once i'm fully trained for shop work I'll be searching even harder for some retail work :) 

 Skirt £1

 Lush set £4

o

The skirt i'm really unsure of atm but andy had a great idea of pulling it up as a dress wack a belt round it and it looks amazing as a summer dress :) but im not going to complain when it cost me £1, i was talking away about how my girls love their lush bath bombs because they change the colour of the water and the shop owner said they had some lush stuff in and at £4 for the whole box no way was i leaving it behind i thought the body conditioner may not be any good but it's still in date until 31/O9/13 :D I also got the girls some matching shoes,aswell as a little purse & some  bath confetti and Andy a dinosaur onsie which is huge but sooo comfy

I'm wondering why on earth i didn't pop in and browse charity shops before? i buy on eBay so whats the difference

have you had any bargain buys lately?

Time to kick anxeity's butt!

So I've suffered from really bad anxiety for quite awhile now, i finally went to the doctor early this year and she put me on 1Omg of citalopram which has helped loads with actually leaving the house without having to get back ASAP or having a panic attack before I've even left, although i still need at least 12-24 hours to be told of plans or i find it really hard to leave the house and do them if they are sprung on me, anyway for months now I've been wanting to volunteer somewhere like a charity shop to help my confidence and get myself some retail experience as I'd really love to work in retail but have no experience or qualifications (which I'm also working on getting) other than a diploma in body piercing & being a Ann summers party rep for a short while so not a lot going for me when it comes to applying for retail jobs.

I'll be starting on Friday at 1O I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to get started but at the same time i may need to grab some tena lady's as I'm crapping myself but feeling pretty confident (atm which can all change in a few days)
