Goodnight Linda - hope you are feeling better <3

Well, time for bed Tec, I shall look forward to hearing about the new fridge Sue, don't spend too much :-D

That's what happens here too, Linda. My neighbour scours the charity shops for bits and pieces and she told me that all the good stuff are now in cabinets with higher prices. Now and then I can pick up something at the markets for a good price. I bought a bread fork for 50 cents and when I got it home I found silver hallmarks on it. It cleaned up very well and I'm sure the handle is bone or ivory.

Well you deserve a new fridge, I don't know why but you do

I find it almost impossible to pass an antique shop - they are a magnet to me.

Think I would have liked to have been an antique dealer.

I do get annoyed when the dealers buy up beautiful antiques here at action to ship over to America by the container load.

As there is no housework that now needs doing I think we will go and have a look at refrigerators. Although our present one is only a few years old I am not happy with it. Sometimes you have to cut your losses and replace something that isn't working as well as you would like.

Gone are the days of finding really expensive things in charity shops for no money, they have experts who sift it all

You are allowed to look in shop windows, Tec :-)

When we were in Shrewsbury I went into a charity shop because an item in the window caught my eye. It was a lovely china trinket box. I bought it because it's pretty for the princely sum of 2 pounds. I looked on Ebay and found that the china is quite a good brand although not one of the big ones. A cup, saucer and plate went for around 25 pounds so I think I got a bargain.

So Miss Sue ,what are you planning to do today apart from building an ark

Hello Diane - Hope you can catch up with your sleep, and soon feel better - take care :-)

Hello Diane - hope you feel much better soon.

Hello Diane, come back when you feel better

Hello Sue, Linda and Tec <3

I haven't read back as I need to go back to Tuesdays post to catch up :-(

Just popped in to let you know I'm ok but my concentration isn't good at the moment because of lack of sleep and thing's.

Hope you are all well, I will catch up soon with all that has happened when my brain let's me,

take care <3 <3

No I won't - honestly I won't. :-D

but I could have a little look - out of interest :-D

I am sure you will find something else you can't live without Tec

I have to go to town in the morning, should have gone today, but the weather was so awful.
Promise not to look at anymore clocks :-D

Ha Ha Linda :-(

I don't think it will be dry here ever again. I've forgotten what the sun looks like :-(

Thank you Tec, it looks like it will be dry tomorrow which is good

G'Day Sue,

It's still raining in Wales - but may be dry tomorrow.

Coffee's made :-)

No, it has stopped :-D
