Got your Ikea catalogue ready Sue? It's that square based table lamp with a round hole in it. It has a kinda rectangular creamy-white shade. Mine's gone a bit yellow looking and looks a bit mucky now I've redecorated! Jeanette x

Well I'm back! No reindeers left Lynda :o( Knew I should have got it before Christmas! Sorry Jeanette - no mugs. Well there was just one, but the handle was broken :o( Bought a boxing punch bag thingy that hangs from the ceiling for £1. 6 rolls of wrapping paper at 10p a roll, not Christmassy so will do for birthdays. Gift tags/cards 10p for pack of 6 Hyacinths in a pot and a nice pot for £2 4 Clip frames for £1 Had to pay £6.90 for my lampshade though, but it does look nice on my lamp. Much better than the old one! 2 mesh things that hang from the ceiling for £1 each to put grandkids soft toys in. Daughter bought a Princessy light fitting for £2 for her godaughter's bedroom. Pack of 2 glass picture frames for 50p Assorted candles total price £2 Loo brush and holder for 60p Just missed a mirror on a stand for my grandaughter for £1 (the other woman was bigger than me!) Also various other stuff that was full price :o( Saw some nice curtains, really cheap, but I wasn't sure of the measurements - looks like I'll need to go back later on this week! LOL Spent £50 altogether but I must have saved much more than that! LOL At least that's what I told hubby! Sue xx
