Hello Dear Reader,
It's flippin' well started. Buy a sofa, oak furniture, new cooker or what ever in time for Christmas. You know how it goes, the world will stop revolving if your furniture doesn't match, if you're lunch doesn't come from Marks'n'spensive and you haven't got a that little black dress for the party season. It's all a total load of sell it now, leave people in scraping debt for years to come and it will fall apart before it's paid for anyway!
Enough! I'm going to record everything I want to watch on TV and fast forward through all the adverts between now and the new year to avoid the blatant buy masses more than you need to keep up with the Jones.
I found the chair in a local second hand shop for £10, I had the fabric anyway that I bought for £1 in a jumble sale a few years ago and had in the cupboard. It's basically a cloth envelope with the cushion pad inside and the chair put back together. It's coming to France with us as we'll try to furnish the house, just like this house, with as many second hand items as possible. We looked around second hand shops in France and they wanted far too much so we didn't buy there.
I know I'm 'preachin' to the choir' here so how about you share something that you up cycled instead of buying new.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
