my OH did a carboot today instead of us going to one, it wasnt a great one as the impending rain (which never actualy came) kept sellers and buyers away...
but he came home with loads of fruit and veg that the veg man was selling off cheap at the end, a pair of kids size 5 dinosaur wellies for DS for 20p and about £100 profit!

Hi

Went to the big booty yesterday which I had stopped going to due to too many stall selling new tat. But, wow what a surprise, no new stalls selling tat, just proper booters and it was packed to the rafters, with sellers and buyers as the weather was glorious:T I took my OH too, who really isn't a shopping kind of bloke, least of all rummaging through other folkes junk, but alas he has seen the light after bagging himself some DVD and PC game bargains:j Which is great news for me, as it means I can go more often now and I have someone to carry my bag:rotfl: He even told me off for not bringing enough money out, I only took £15.

Anyway, heres my bargains:-

BNWT silk rockabilly dress by = £2.00

BNWT Simply Be Top = £2.00

Funky teen dress by Evie = 50p

New look Tee-shirt = 50p

Italian stilleto shoes (they are m & s Corraliezine) = £1.00

Polka dot sixties style dress by Atmosphere (new) = 50p

Minibleu embellished jeans, they are gorgeous = 70p (didn't have the £1 they wanted)

Pc game (war) = £1.00

Will Hay double DVD (new) = £3.00

Although not strictly charity shop of jumble sale bargain, I went ot a house clearance shop today and bought a 1960's 'unit' looks like a tallboy but the drawer is at the top and you open the doors and it is shelves inside. dovetail joints, VERY heavy wood with wooden legs, approx 1.5m high. He wanted a tenner, he then dropped the price to £7,50. I told him I only had £6.15 (which I did) and he accepted. Will be lovely painted and just what im after. Very pleased.

p.s im sure I could have got it for a fiver..lol.

A Next long drapey cardigan for £2.00. This style of cardigan has been around for a few years now hasn't it? Still, it'll look okay with jeans ands long sleeved t-shirt.

Great bargains eveyone!

Great bargains, Guys! Didn't go booting yesterday due to the hangover from hell so reading about everyone else's bargains made me feel much better!

Yesterday I got a pair of real suede Next winter boots for my daughter (very similar to the ones I was going to buy her new for £30-odd!) in immaculate, as-new condition for £2 from a charity shop. It doesn't usually open on Sundays but they were putting winter stock out and I took the granny trolley shopping instead of the car, I wouldn't have noticed it was open if I'd been driving. I also got a fantastic winter cashmere and wool coat for £4.
Very pleased!

Ive seen the winter stock in TKMaxx this evening. I didnt check for the trousers you are looking for but did see Dare2be labels on some adult jackets. Maybe have a look for the item you are looking for. Or tell us again what its like and we could all look.
