Whilst decorating my lounge, I had a small casualty. It was a lovely lamp that sits on my mantel that provides the only light in the room along with the fish tank.

I trod on it and something snapped and now it won’t work.

I was upset, but to be honest, it never really fitted the shelf that well and I was always catching it.

This morning I went to Homebase. I found the ultimate lamp.

It will fir perfectly in sense of the size and shape and was almost a perfect colour match to the walls.

I loved it upon sight.

I went to the till and the price came up as £4 dearer than the ticket. So off I went with the lady to show her where I had got it form and to prove the difference in price.

As we walked towards the lamp area, I noticed a small bargain shelf of lamps and lampshades.

There I saw the lamp of my dreams with a small fingerprint on the front of the shade.

It was reduced with a 60% discount.

I told the woman to stop, I picked up the seconds lamp, and headed back to the till.

Once I got back to the car, I took the shade off and simply turned it round.

I got the lamp of my dreams for £8.40 this morning.

What a great way to start the day!!!!!! I love a good bargain.
