Hey everyone!
I haven't posted for a few weeks but I though I'd come on to tell you what I got this week as I'm very happy with the lot.

Game boy advance game: Mario VS Donkey Kong £1
2 DS games: My Word Coach and 100 Classic book collection, £4 each.
Belkin Wireless G USB internet adaptor (Brand new) £2
Approx 700 Pokemon cards to sell on (I sell in booster packs of small amounts for £2 so I get a lot back) £5
And my best, around 6 or 7 kilograms of lego, at least 50 minifigures and lots of baseboards etc for £3!!
I'm so happy
Well done everyone on your bargains and I hope you had a great car booting day.

Fab purchase! I tried that on in Topshop yesterday but it didn't suit me. Well done to your mum

This mornings bootsale was HUGE but most people seemed to be charging quite a lot so I didn't get loads. My best buys:

1980s My Little Pony house £2. These sell for about £15 on Ebay and I never had one when I was little, just the ponies which I wish I still had as some of them sell for lots

Nearly new fancy hat £5 for a day at the races with my mates in a couple of weeks

Mah Jong set £1 - brand new and they are really expensive online as I have been thinking of buying one

BNWT Next Shrug £3 - original price £32. I'm going to wear this to my mates wedding next weekend

Final Fantasy PS1 game £1 to play and then Ebay - Amazon price about £20

Vintage leather Jane Shilton bag £2
New Next wedges £3
Some vintage sewing patterns

My mum bought a silver ring for £3, its hallmarked and the stones look like diamonds. We're going to get it checked out asap

Worth getting up at 7am for
