Five Under £5 January

I was browsing through Twitter the other day when I came across Rainbeaubelle's Five under £5. Being a massive bargain hunter I have decided that this is just the new link up I have been looking for. So, lets get stuck in!

This collar was on sale on Ebay for £3.45 and it's lovely. Since Peppa was ill we've had a totally different bond, I wanted to buy her something and as she needed a new collar I bought her this lovely one. I was really pleased when I saw all the sparkles too, she wears it very proudly!

A stashed birthday gift for Midge's birthday this week. This book is full of all sorts of lovely activities that I know Midge will love doing because she is so creative. I got this from The Book People and it was only £3.95.

Another one for Midge and again it only cost £3.95 in The Book People online sale which has saved more than half on the original price. Happy Hannah.

A £3.45 book from Ebay, a little scruffy but I kind of like my books with that old look. What I hate is when people write in them (unless it's a nice note, I like them!) I bought this for an online book club I've joined but I haven't gotten around to starting it properly yet.

Finally, I know it's Christmassy but I was desperate to shut the horrid draught out and when I saw this draught excluder in Aldi in their sale for only £1.99 I had to have it.  It's such a lovely design and fits in the home perfectly so I really don't mind that I've bought a Christmas one!

Dear So and So..

Dear 2012,
I didn't think you were going too fast. January kind of dragged by. Then I realised February brought me another month closer to August which, as I know very well, is when I have chosen to be married. As I'm having a period of time where my wedding is just annoying me and I'm sure everyone reaches that sort of point now and then, especially when they run out of essentials.
 So 2012, please slow the muffins down!
Asking incredibly polity for someone who is poorly, Hannah

Dear Dog Walkers,
Pick your sodding dog crap up! I am sick of buggy dodging! If you can't pick up your dogs mess then you shouldn't own a dog end of!
Asking not so politely anymore, Hannah

Dear Little Miss,
Please stop being rude to Mumma it's not nice. You listen and are polite to everyone else but right now you're having a hard time with Mumma and it's making me sad. We'll figure it out.
Lots of love Mumma xx

Dear Little Man,
Well done on tooth number 5 my handsome chap! Now lets sort out the leg clinging situation shall we? No..oh okay then hmm
Love from Mumma xx

Dear Accessorize,
Thank-you for selling gorgeous bags. Thank you even more for having the 2 very expensive bags I have had my eye on for a very long time in the sale at half the price. I cannot wait until Monday to have my bags (or bag as Other Half thinks hehe)
I desperately needed them..honest, Hannah

Don't forget to link up your posts for this week with the lovely Kat at 3 Bedroom Bungalow...
