It has become traditional for Thunderthighs and me to visit the charity shops on Shields Road, Byker, between Christmas and New Year to stock up on next year’s cards at half price.
We also pick up anything else which might be useful.
Yesterday we had a good haul.
In Barnardo’s: 30 cards, mostly nativity but some not; recycled Xmas wrapping paper; a
40th birthday gift for his cousin.
I won some Christmas placemats and Thunderthighs won a metal teapot, jug
and sugar bowl set, in their tombola. He
says I can have it; it will be ideal for Covens and other trips away.
Next to Veterans at Ease; no cards but a 60th
birthday gift for my cousin, and he spotted the ideal wedding anniversary gift from
me for Fester. It was a ‘limited
edition’ Christmas plate dated 1979, which was when we first met…https://bentonbag.blogspot.com/2021/10/hard-but-fair.html
There were no Christmas cards in the Salvation Army
either, but we did get a couple of greetings cards.
In Marie Curie; 20 cards, nativity and
Marie Curie Nurse Angel. Thunderthighs
won a lovely faux snakeskin handbag with ‘gold’ clasp and chain on the tombola,
which I suspect will find its way into another one in the near future.
