    I've just remembered there's one in Ashington too. It's on a Sunday, but I've never been so can't say for certain what time it starts

    Hi, where abouts in Ashington is it and do you know who runs it so i can find out what time etc?
    I love this thread.
    My recent bargain, bought a pair of UGG clogs for £3 from a charity shop, i didn't try them at the time as i had long boots on. They were too small so i sold them on ebay for £40! I have had lots of things over the years, i just love car boot sales and mooching round charity shops. We are away this weekend to Malton, anyone know of any carboots sales there? (see i'm addicted lol).
    Also any new carboot sales / jumble sales in the north east area? Im always on the look out!

    Quickly dashed into a couple of chazza shops on the way back from the swimming baths earlier today to shelter from the rain.

    Picked up a Celia Birtwell for TopShop dress for £4.80 :j and a 40ml bottle of Roberto Cavalli HER perfume which was still boxed and only very lightly used for £2.90 (it retails at £39 and smells divine!).

    Wow, goanmad - that's amazing - I have a celia birtwell dress still in my wardrobe with the tags on - I think I'll eBay it!

    I'm doing my first carboot on Sunday and I'm inspired by the amazing finds you've all had - I'll keep my eyes peeled!

    Not strictly a carboot purchase, but I bought a little leopard print playsuit from Topshop for £10 - didn't fit and I forgot to take it back. I put it on eBay and it sold for £69 - I was chuffed :)
    June NSD's - 5/25 :(
    Overdraft: was £2000, now £1740...getting there!
    Card 1: £500, now £0
    Card 2: £1200, now £0
    Card 3: £250, now £0

    Good luck with your carbooting on sunday, crumpetmonster! Make sure you you pack lots of carrier bags and plenty of change.
    I adore Celia Birtwell and the dress will be worn and loved. Well done on the playsuit!

    You're so lucky goanmad, the charity shops round my way just sell tat :( I saw the Ojon hair treatment you picked up on QVC the other night, the results looked amazing! Thinking about picking some up myself, but seems to be pretty expensive on ebay :(
    Comping Fairy bring some luck my way! :dance:Love my Fiance Spiceboy :happyhear:iloveyou:

    I've got no idea, like I said I've never been before. Google doesn't seem to bring up much info either. Try carbootjunction for more info
