When you get bored in a charity shop, at first you can feel a little glum. This can affect the environment around you. If left alone on the shop floor a long time, you might be forced to make your own friends. However eventually, you might be persuaded to use you boredom for more constructive means. Tidying … Continue reading »
Reblogged from Stars and Rainbows: Well, this is something new. Charlotte has begun a new series, called 100 Things I Love about England, and it’s inspired me to start this, although mine will be centred on London. My hometown. The city that I know and love. Admittedly, there are some things I don’t like about … Continue reading »
Every Saturday morning before work, since I have to wake up before the sun and walk around in the cold to the bus stop, my sister and I like to treat ourselves to a McDonald’s breakfast. (Just took me a couple minutes to remember whether McDonald’s had an apostrophe in it or not. Waterstones have recently … Continue reading »
(Quick note – updated my About page, and I will be posting on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from now on.) I found a bunch of old camera’s in a box that had just recently been donated.

I found these horrible little buggers while checking a board game for pieces (which we eventually chucked FYI) and the tokens for this children’s game were a horrible mix of fairground copyright infringement and adult cartoon parody. See if you can guess who they’re meant to be. I … Continue reading »
A donkey’s arse and a mug. By the way, there is no branding at all. No holiday destinations, no resorts, no hotels, nothing is named here. Someone simply put an arse, on a mug. For no reason. There isn’t even a front to this donkey. If whoever made this had made it a mug with … Continue reading »
So today I had a bit of a D.I.M (Did-it-Myself) moment today. I was heading into town to go to the library and do some other stuff, and I was wearing quite a nice ensemble of clothes (if I say so myself), and I just couldn’t find a bag I wanted to wear with the outfit. … Continue reading »
An absolutely glorious piece of Christian literature came into the shop, and when you look through it it’s obviously a present given to someone on a special occasion. The gold leaf on the side has been given no justice with my little phone’s camera, but it caught the light wonderfully. I’ve not got a proper … Continue reading »
