I got stung this week - its bloody awful! It hurt sooo much and I had to really calm myself down from the shock and the instant pain. This was 2 days ago on the back of my knee and its swollen up loads and is so hot and itchy! I hope your isn't as bad, I'm notorious for reacting badly to stings and bites... took antihistamine, still taking them in fact and rubbed afterbite all over it... hope you're ok - i sympathise!!!!

anyway my bargains today were:

clip frame (massive, right size) £2.50
fiorelli bag new, £3.50 - gave to mum for a fiver cos she liked it so much and I sold a pair of her shoes on ebay today for £12.50!
A belly dancer top for photoshoot 50p
accessorize sparkly high heels - very nice - for ebay - 50p
little leather multi colooured bag 30p
atkins book 20p
blanket material 10p
vogue 80s beauty book for a friend 10p
buttons - lots of big plastic colourful ones for 50p

very pleased with it all and enjoying the biggun on sundays... still think ydays bargain was the best though!! haha

Went to 2 boot sales today for the first time in weeks, really pleased with my finds, and nice to be out in the sunshine. We're planning to go camping over the August B/H weekend for the first time in years so I was looking out for camping equipment and found some real bargains:j

12v electric coolbox, new in box, £15 (retails at around £70)
Brand new camping bed, £5
Brand new camping kitchen unit, £4
Calorgaz lamp,£2
Camping torch £1
Set of camping Trangia style saucepans,£2

Around 30 items of clothing, all for £1 or less, various labels , some for me, some for daughter.
2 brand new bras my size £3
Pair of pink Converse pumps for daughter £2
Jamie Oliver flavour shaker £1
Chef's blowtorch £1

Saw loads more things I liked but they were priced too high, including a Kitchen Aid Mixer, as new in box, the woman had only used it a couple of times. It was priced at £150 but she said she'd come down to £140, I've taken her phone number so might call and see if it sold and offer £120 (need to sort out some stuff to sell on Ebay to pay for it:D)

Hope everyone else had a happy boot sale day, look forward to reading what you all bought. I can't wait for next week now.

I think the wasps must have been out in force at the car-boots this morning - a toddler in a pushchair was stung next to me this morning. Ok, listen up guys because I'm going to hijack the thread for just a moment with an important announcement. For anyone who hasn't got one, buy - yes BUY (full price, cos you wouldn't want a second-hand one even if you found it) an aspivenin kit RIGHT NOW. I react badly, so I'd be swallowing the antihistamines too. I wouldn't go anywhere without mine nowadays - wasps, mosquitos, horse-fly bites - all are made much less severe with an aspivenin.

Boots usually do them, but they've been running an offer so it looks as if they're out of stock:

If you're prepared to wait a bit, they come back into stock quite regularly.

Other suppliers here:

http://www.first-rescue.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=146

(actually, they're cheaper, and I've used first-rescue before, and they were fine as a company - so I'd probably go with them!!)

Once you've had one in the car as part of your standard first aid kit, you'll wonder what you did without it!

Link below is a review/explanation of the kit from The Guardian, a few years ago:

I was a bit let down today as my friend slept in who I was supposed to be doing a boot sale with - he also had all the stuff packed and ready to go in the back of his van , so I was unable to do one on my own
anyhow it did give me chance to visit a couple of boot sales near me in the nice weather where I got :

• PS2 dance mat new in box - £1.50
• PS2 racing steering wheel and foot pedals new in box -£2.00
• X1 PS2 game - £1.00
• { My daughter has just been given a ps2 as her first console off my friend with some games this week } so all these where just what we wanted:o
• 1 Sander working in the box like new - £1.00
• 1 V smile disney princess console boxed- £3.00
• 1 bob the builder tent boxed - 50p
• X3 Childrens DVDSs - £1.50
• Bay Trading coat - ideal and warm that fits me pefectly - 50p
• 1 pair of wrangler Jeans - £1.00
• X2 Pretty accesories new jewellery for a party my daughter went to today -20p

thanks mandragora, luckily the sting came out by itself, and my mum tweezed it off the top of my skin - nasty thing had little barbs coming out in other directions, not just one pointy bit...

will def get one of those aspiven things as my nephew is around a lot and is quite likely to get stung as he's pretty boistrous!

thanks - and even more bargains folks! and ebay successes!! fab...

Poundland had some of those aspiven things, they might be rubbish for all I know but its worth a try for a quid
We bought some just in case but thankfully have not had to try them out yet
