What to do with $2.50

For some time I have been looking for a new desk.

 My little table next to my bed was too small and I'm getting a sore back from sitting on my bed with my laptop.

So.... yesterday on Trade Me this little treasure came up.

Isn't she a beauty?!

And best of all.... she was only $2.50.

Yes! I know!!!

Underneath her - well, shall we say 'sea-creature' exterior -  is a solid wood desk.

So much potential. In fact she has already had a first coat of paint....

Then yesterday on our way to the park we passed a 'Garage Sale'.

How thrilling!

Awaiting my arrival was this magnificent chair!

When I asked the lady "how much?" I tried to look not especially interested. 

When she said "$5", it was all I could do to stop myself from squealing!

She said "You know, you might be able to paint it or something to make it a bit nicer"

Oooohhhhh she had no idea...... ;)

Watch this space.....

Meanwhile, last night I was somehow hood-winked into a sleep-over in our room.

I kinda like being hood-winked by these tricksters!
