Please take one!

Chocolate cakes came out top in my recent poll, so we decided to make some after school today. It was the first time the little one had made cakes. He did really well, but as you can imagine, loved licking the bowl afterwards!!
I popped into Southend today. I wanted to go to Primark to get a cheap cossie. I don't swim in public pools - i know that may sound terribly snobby, but i just can't get over the dirtiness of it!! However, my mum has asked me as her guest on a pamper day here. So i thought i better get one just incase. I also picked up these flipflops for £2!!! and this large flight bag for £6!!!


Very CK don't you think? It was only £3.50. It's a good size and has a great mirror in the top bit that stands up. Great i think, seeing as i always forget a hand mirror when i go away.

Finally my luck has carried on this week as i have won a giveaway!!! Thank you Knitty, Vintage and Rosy.
Thank you all for you well wishes to me and my Grandad.

I got one of those bags last year for when we go away for a few days to carry on the plane!
They do some great bits for summer and so cheap!

Isn't Primark fun! I was recently in the UK and got my daughter and her Daddy a whole new wardrobe for 75 pounds!
But, alas, my 50p primark pants are falling to pieces less than a year after I bought them!

Funkymonkey said...

Is there a cake left for me please? Primark's great for finding unexpected bargains I think. I had some bargain jewellery from there the other week and lots of lovley comments when I wear it.

Ooh, I wish I could really take one of those chocolate cupcakes off the screen! The best bit of making cakes is ALWAYS licking the bowl! Well done on your great buys!

No one is you ...& that's your power said...

Glad I stopped by your blog tonight. I need to get my lad some pjs, I love the sainsburys ones and will try and get him some but he is nearly ten, so fingers crossed they go up to that !. Love the bag too, those ones in Primark are fab for the price. I have a floral one that I use. Its a really comfy bag to use x Dom

Don't mind if I do! Seeing your boys standing on the chairs reminded me of myself as a child standing on a chair washing up at my granny's kitchen sink. Lovely buys from Primark. I have been coveting some very pretty makeup and toiletry bags in TK Maxx recently. x
