Holidays!

My voice is slowly coming back, and Ive been doing loads of housework.

Yesterday my mum took me to a rather special charity shop, run by a secular organisation which helps homeless people get back on their feet though teaching them practical skills, that can be transferred into jobs.

They are based in an old 19th C. factory unit near the centre of town, and have two large rooms nicely laid out with furniture, clothes and books for sale.

We needed a few more bits for our house, so I got a very nice bedside set of draws for £10, a wheelie office chair for £5 (might not last long but at £5 that dosnt matter) I have also purchased a large pine wardrobe with a drawer at the bottom for £70! Its all incredibly cheap, and apart from the office chair the items will last a long time :-)

It was nice to get such bargains and to help a charity too.
