Festival of Thrift | Part 2 – A New Thrifty Generation

September 24, 2013

Living up north usually brings disappointment when events are announced as London is the usual location of choice, so when I found out something big was set to happen in the north east and be of an interest of mine, I was pretty excited. I […]

Festival of Thrift | Part 1 – Modern Thrifty Living

September 24, 2013

Living thriftily hasn’t always been chic.  In the age of technology where modern conveniences are a given, it’s easy to forget a time when looking after the pennies really meant eating hand to mouth. The 40s and 50s look glamorous today, with modern day pin […]

If you’re gonna come shopping with me, be prepar If you’re gonna come shopping with me, be prepared for crap like this. 😆 

Go hard or go home I guess. 🤪

1. Buying up all the post-Christmas bargains
2. Knocking everything over
3. Scavenging like a hobo

Mum’s been in hospital for a few months now with Mum’s been in hospital for a few months now with a diagnosis of CIDP. Had never even heard of it before. From what little I understand, it’s a chronic rare autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own nerves, causing damage that affects feeling in hands and feet, reducing dexterity and mobility to practically nothing. It’s terrifying. 😟

Mum’s being such a fighter. Taking on all the rehab and treatments while having to rely on the nurses for doing anything. It’s heartbreaking to see her limited to her hospital bed with pain and uncomfortable sensations in her body. It’s literally the ultimate nightmare illness that sets to steal your independence and very wellbeing. 😢

But Mum is a warrior of faith 💪 who stands on scripture that boasts healing in the name of Jesus. 🗡️ 🛡️ So we’re praying for a full recovery with the hope that Mum will be back in her own home again soon. 

Love you, Mum! ❤️

Comfy and cute is mandatory for droll days like this. ☁️ Fully stretch cotton with soft seams and deep elastic bands mean Oddballs crop tops and boxer briefs stay put and wear like a dream.

I adore the pants!  They fit like a glove and are sooo comforting on period days when I need to wear a heat pad on my tummy.

Just need to request a fuller bust crop top cos my b(.)(.)bs need more snuggle room! 😄

Here’s something you may bump into me doing… b Here’s something you may bump into me doing… bargain shopping, charity shopping, thrift hauling, call it what you will. I love the thrill of shopping, always on the hunt for silly prices and getting a deal with a little “squee” dance when it hits the sweet spot. 

Who else loves bargain shopping? 🛍️
