The last couple of weeks have seen me venturing into the city a little more. I love to just catch the train, wander around the many shops and markets and enjoy exploring an all too familiar place. It is on these little spontaneous trips that I purchased most of what is featuring in this months “5 for £5” and I couldn’t be more pleased with what we have!
1. Sunglasses for me – I have probably needed some new sunglasses now for a good few weeks and finally got some a couple of weeks ago…with Spring well and truly here with more frequent sunny days, squinting was not a good look!
Primark is of course my go to place for shades and these were just £2. With having children that can’t not touch things, I rarely spend more than a few pounds on sunglasses as its the safer option, and I love that these are quite different from my mahoosive ones I have gone for in previous years. Love the lenses shape and love the gold arms.
2. Sunglasses for Megs – Megan likes to pose and likes to be like me and so it wasn’t long before she too saw a need for some new shades. She found these in TKMaxx last week for £1.99 on one of our many city ventures. Hello Kitty white sunglasses with a bow…living the dream!
3. A funky sign for the bathroom – I just love everything about this and especially that it cost just £3.99 in Primark. Their home section has really stepped up and I thoroughly enjoy looking around it. It looks lovely above the sink in the bathroom with my also New primarni shower curtain (hovering on the £5 mark if you are interested but not on my featured 5).
4. A car for E – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang obsessed Ethan spotted this car in the local charity shop last week and I couldn’t not include it. It was only £1 and has made his life! Isn’t it lovely? He loves how real it looks, that his lego men fit inside to drive it and that its so amazing. I love how enthusiastic my children are about charity shops!
5. Wooden Castanets for Baby #4 – Not featured on the pic because I seem to have forgotten the “safe place” in which I put them, but this lovely little wooden Tidlo accessory was found in the market (brand new) for a measly 39p!!!! How can you resist? I think it will be lovely for her as she gets older to make some tunes…
And that’s my loot for this month. With car boot season on the horizon I predict this is going to become increasingly more difficult but am excited none the less.
Linking up with Julia at Rainbeaubelle for #fiveunder5
I love that Primark sign you picked up – Primark has some hidden gems in their home section. I wish there was a Primark in Cornwall
Some great finds, I very rarely go into Primark it is just always too busy but I will have to pop in and find myself some bargains. I especially love the sunglasses, I used to spend lots on sunglasses but now with kids there is just no point!!
Love the sign. The car is awesome and I’m off to buy some new sunglasses. Primark here I come! #fiveunder5
What a great selection, I love the sunglasses, what a bargain. My little boy would love that car, he always loves a good route through the car sections at a car boot sale. Last time we managed to get a little Lightning McQueen for 50p and a really battered old car (which he loves) was thrown in for free! xx #fiveunder5
I love the sign for the bathroom. I haven’t visited Primark for some time, seems like I need to check out their homes section. Thanks for sharing.
Haven’t been to Primark for a while but really love those sunglasses. Think I may take a trip this week as they are an affordable treat.
Your Primark sunglasses are lovely, and so are Megs’ bow ones – my little girl would love those too! I have a pile of scratched sunnies in the kitchen which need attention! Thanks for joining in xx
