    very busy, went there a lot last summer and normally very good! Haven't been this year yet, starts up early may and
    on carboot junction website (i think?)

    :T Some great finds this weekend everyone, well done :T

    No sales for me unfortunately, as I've been away visiting friends but DH went to posh charity shop yesterday and spent £8.50 on a Hackett shirt and Burberry jumper for himself.

    We're off for a little break in Devon tomorrow, staying in Brixham, so if anyone has any good charity shop recommendations in that area I'd be very grateful :)

    Great being out in the sunshine today, didn't get much at the first boot sale (I haven't found many things for home this year), but lots of nice clothes at the second one, some for me, some for DD, few bits for Ebay. Paid £1 or less for everything, a few Monsoon items, Per Una, gorgeous Next leather jacket £4 (it looks brand new to me and fits a treat).

    Best bargain was from a couple of young girls who dumped loads of carrier bags on a blanket and were swamped with buyers rummaging through-I usually give it a miss when it's like that but fed up with watching everyone else grab the bargains:rolleyes:, so quietly looked through a couple of bags and picked out a pair of Chanel sunglasses (used but like new, in original case with authenticity label), A Hugo Boss top for DH and a Versace top for DS, plus some sandals, £10 the lot which was less then I expected.
    Good to hear about eveyone else's bargains, roll on next week. :j

    Today I bought my son a pair of Next jeans for 50p, just about to pop them into the washing machine, checked pockets, found 1 very crumpled but very welcome £10

    Just noticed this topic and I love a bargain. Bought a really nice timerland cream studded shirt in a charity shop a few days ago for £4.50.
