Can't Stay Away

I had the day off work today, which was lovely.
Gav said to me “as your off work can you bring me some lunch up to work?” so of course I said yes as his favourite sandwich shop is only opposite my CS!!!
Even though I am working there tomorrow I still had to pop in and have a look round.
I have found that when I’m working, I don’t always get a chance to have a proper look at what is actually out in the shop.
So his lunch was a perfect excuse.
I found some lovely's and here they are.

A really old Wax Seal set, with pretty coloured and perfumed wax £1.


I don’t think the wax still has any perfume, but we will have to wait and see as it might do when I melt some.


 And the weirdest thing is that I didn’t even look at what the seals were until I got home and guess what, one was an S ??? The other a Rose.

It was meant to be obviously.

I also found this old “Golden Hands” knitting & sewing magazine from 1973.
It has a double page spread to Granny Blankets, Lovely.


It also has the most amazing fashion & patterns in for only 50p.


And this book “The Batsdford Book Of Sewing” for £1, it has all the sewing techniques in it along with fabulous 70’s illustrations.


I also popped in to town for a meeting, then M&S was calling me so I went and got the Valentines meal for £20. I chose to have the red rose instead of the chocolates what with being on WW, and that was so I also get to have a lovely red rose which I don’t expect I would have got on Sunday as Gav is not in to Valentines Day. “too commercial” he says!!
So I was a happy bunny today, with my bargains & Rose.
I’m off for my 3rd shift in the CS tomorrow afternoon which should be fun.
Oh what will I bring home tomorrow??
Have a lovely weekend.
Luv
