Reasons to be cheerful

This week the charity shops seem empty (it wasn't me - I can't have emptied all my local charity shops), and what they do have seems very expensive.
I have found a few bits and bobs, which I will photograph and blog at the weekend.
In the meantime, a few non-thrift-related things that have made me happy this week :

The wonderful customer service at John Lewis and Habitat - those people are so nice, they must be very happy in their jobs. In the case of John Lewis, I think it may be connected to the partnership model.

A pretty good week, then.
