Lovely things that make you happy and cost a fiver or less

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Bought an enormous bunch of daffs in M&S yesterday for £3 and am smiling every time I see them.

Twinings Earl grey costs less than a fiver for a big box.

A cup of coffee and a muffin in Starbucks.

3 books for a pound in our local charity shop.

What else? Inspire me please! :)

Remus - Definitely. We just swap sandwiches and cold drinks on the grass for hot sausage rolls and hot chocolate snuggled up on a park bench.

Just looked and a little bottle is around £6 but the shower gel is only a couple of pounds.

Aww Ella - that sounds lovely! How do you keep your sausage rolls hot?

A call 'home' - to family living overseas
It is a very ccold heart that doesn't cheer up at the sight of some daffs in bloom or some bulbs making tneir way out of the winter gloom
