The charity shops now seem to have everything picked through and valuable items sent either to their own specialist shops or auctioned. We do have a house clearance shop nearby (though they call themselves an antique shop after the Antiques Road Trip visited).Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-28911552152983628362011-10-02T01:17:28.383+01:002011-10-02T01:17:28.383+01:00Classic design and very appropriate for the Sepia ...Classic design and very appropriate for the Sepia theme.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717263358836762175.post-41207843886334500802011-10-01T23:45:22.516+01:002011-10-01T23:45:22.516+01:00These adverts make me want to look at them and rea...These adverts make me want to look at them and read them.

When I was achild my mum had a co-op dividend book and we had to quote the number every time we shopped so that we got our ‘divi’ at payout time. My mum used to rely on that.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.com
