I love my local Post Office because....

....it sells second hand books which for a book lover such as me is fantastic. It's £1 for a hardback book and 50p for a paperback book. Children's books are 25p-50p. All the money raised goes to Pendleside Hospice.

So this morning I went to post some parcels fully intending to come back with one or two books and I came back with these instead!





A pile of 31 craft magazines! Some are from last year and some are from as far back as 2003 but they are perfect for looking through and sparking ideas. Some of them are card making mags so will be going to Ruth if she fancies them. And how much did these 31 magazines cost me? £1 for the lot :) Steve the post master (is that even a post office title?) spotted me looking and said I could have the whole lot for a quid. Oh ok then!



And of course I didn't leave without some books. I very rarely do!

Oh wow lucky you getting the mags at a bargain price and to have a post office where you're not frowned at because you have a pile of parcels to post.
