does your car boot sale operate every week throughout the whole year our local ones finish soon as then start up again spring - darn :mad:

It goes on all year round depending on weather - though the winter sees more traders braving the cold than normal people....

how frustrating for you with yours, are there any else that run for longer?

Ours only seem to have a short weekly allowance around 14 weeks of the year so once they have done that the council wont let them do anymore.

I shall have to try and venture further afield and see if i can find some more

went to my 1st ever car boot today and couldn't believe the bargains that I got

boden trousers 10p
rohan l/s top 10p
gorgeous whistles cardigan 10p
monsoon blouse 10p
stunning Laura Ashley vintage cardigan 10p

I think the stallholder just wanted to go home and had just reduced everything to 10p just as I was passing

total for this little lot 50p!!!

I think I have had a very lucky morning.I spotted a couple of things I liked and remembered the labels to check if they were worth anything for reselling.
I got home,made a coffee,sat down and looked the first item up online,sat gaping at the screen for a brief moment before grabbing my keys,running a mile back into town in under 4 minute and buying the Max Mara studio coat for £5.99!!!
My coffee was still hot by the time I got home:D
Retail price about £500-600 and its brand new(has the charity shop name written across the tag so must be a big store donation).
Also bough a Paul Costelloe jacket,again brand new with tags for £8.99.
I woke up feeling lucky today;)

I popped into my local one on Sunday, didn’t get much at so was a bit disappointed. I got a yumi style dress with 2 cats on, a purple maxi dress, a new patchwork across the body bag with a matching purse (the tag says its leather but it doesnt feel like it) all for £2. Im hopefully going on holiday next week so will be missing out on the bargain hunting. I'm starting a course in garment making in a few weeks so I was hoping to find some interesting printed items so I can use the fabric for skirts and dresses, but no luck :-(

I'm trying to find a baby gift item that's been discontinued but I suppose everyone would rush to put it on ebay if they had one ! Then I'd never find one. Silly me.:rotfl::rotfl: Forget I mentioned it.
