Dragged myself out of bed this morning after catching OH's stinker of a cold - I don't think its swine flu so I risked the outing.... car boots are my religion and it would be sacrilege to miss right?!

anyway I got 2 atkins books for 75p and a vintage real croc handbag - its beautiful and no I don't have moral issues buying it as I have seen crocodile farms and think its just like wearing leather shoes....

It needs some TLC but for £2.50 I'm pleased I bought it. Thought of selling it on ebay - though not sure ebay would allow it??? It is vintage... hmmm

My OH did very well with Ronson lighters (£1 each) and a cabinet to showcase his huge collection, its pine and very nice (£12)

Feel better for the outing and looking forward to some midlands car boots and jumble sales in the coming weeks as I'm moving back to parents until new uni term starts....

happy booting folks, look forward to hearing your bargains!
