I’ve forgotten how much a Filofax organiser costs!

September 28, 2009

I started using a binded organiser when I was a secondary student. It wasn’t quite necessary at that point in my life, it was just something that I saw when I was on one of my travels and I just wanted it. When you’re a student, impulsive shopping happens a lot! Anyway, back then it [...]

The first online garage sale

September 3, 2009

I’ve always heard the term “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure”. Familiar to you? Well that’s just a tweaked version of the famous saying ”One man’s meat is another man’s poison” but they do say the same thing in different context.
Have you ever been to a garage sale or some may call it a junkyard or [...]

August 21, 2009

I’ve got to first qualify that I’ve never shopped at Courts Mammoth before for household items. Actually, I’ve not even stepped into the huge megastore opposite The Curve although I sometimes make a mental note about checking it out some day.
