Primark Haul

I'm not sure where the past six weeks have gone. Work has been incredibly busy and by the time it gets to the weekend I just want to rest, but I can't help but feel I'm not making the most if the weekends. I'm hoping to get a holiday booked this week though so that is exciting and after that I can look at booking some weekends away. I'd like to spend a weekend in London in June or July, there is always lots to do and I would like to get tickets for ZSL's Zoo Lates event this year. 

I did go to Birmingham for the day a few weeks ago, mainly to use up some free tickets for the Sea Life Centre which were about to expire, but I also managed to fit in a quick Primark visit! Here is the haul I came away with: 

I love the pattern on this dress and it will be perfect for taking on holiday. It looks a bit shapeless in the picture but it's actually a skater style which goes in at the waist and then flares out, so it is quite fa flattering fit. This was £15. 


The rest of my haul was pretty much from the home ware department, except for this large wash bag which I'm currently using as a make up bag as it fits my mirror and moisturiser in too so it's great for travelling. I think this was £3.


Behind the wash bag you will see my new laundry hamper! I think this was £3 or £4.


I also brought a bath towel with the same rose print as this laundry bag, which was £6. 


And a sweet floral print tea towel which was £1. I think this is too pretty to use as a tea towel so I might make it into a cushion like I did with the blue floral tea towel last year.


And lastly I picked up this candle. I don't often buy candles but this smelt lovely, the tag was missing so I can't remember the scent but I think it contains jasmine. The glass jar is pretty and matches a trinket holder on my dressing table. This was £3. 


I also saw some cute garden lights but I had ran out of time. I'll be in London for work next week though so I will see is I can fit in a cheeky primark trip then!
