    Bought a Paddy Campbell coat for £5 today, looks new, maybe worn once or twice. Her current season jackets are selling for £315! I am soooo pleased!

    Well done on the warning triangle!
    And also join the club of addicted car booters! :)
  • I trawled the charity shops on Saturday morning as the local car boot is next weekend - slim pickings until the last, a Save the Children that doesn't open regularly. I got in at 11.45, the volunteers had decided to close at noon, and I emerged with a great 1960s evening dress (and a mink stole to go with it!) for £5.

    Currently I'm wearing another charity shop purc hase - a 1970s Rotary wind-up ladies watch. Keeps perfect time, cost £2, and I'll never need to buy a watch battery!
  • today at car boot i got
    lipsy top 20p
    babies shoes brand new 50p
    babies gypsy dress 50p
    baby moses basket with cover £3
    baby rocking seat £2

    roll on next sunday....sun sun we want sun!

    My sister bought a mink trimmed leather jacket for a tenner! Very good quality! - maybe even sell on ebay and get much more for it but she likes it so I suspect not.

    Some good bargains friends!
