So I was out on a walk\/run\/stumble\/poor attempt to model healthy choices<\/s> with C, my lovely next door neighbour, on Friday, and for the third time since November last year someone had left a piece of furniture in the street round the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I am notorious for finding any excuse to stop running\/walking\/sweating in public<\/s> and C is used to my devious attempts at distraction so I had to squeal, beg and drag her to the other side of the road so I could examine the potential booty more closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bootylicious thrifty thrills here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a good old examine – missing or dodgy mismatched handles , scratched, burned, water damageded surface but generally intact, good solid lovely 2 drawer dresser. There is a piece missing from the back, where there was probably a mirror and upstand attached but nothing that cannot be gussied up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing that can’t be fixed.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am a sucker for a finely turned ankle and double-drawn to anything with a barley twist so “yes, you are coming home with me” was an easy decision – even C forgave me for the pitstop since we made it round the rest of our circuit in double fast time so I could exhort Smirk to drive around to rescue (rule on morning walks with C – no phone so no opportunity to photograph or text him – rule now overturned in case of future happy findings)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smasher is now in our hallway awaiting his fate – will post an update when the Frog Prince transformation is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and today is Sunday, Smirk is cooking up full English ( I know, I know…..what will C say….? Well she won’t know if you don’t tell her, will she!) the sun is shining and there is nothing better than a pug in a sunbeam so until next time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
