    I managed to go to 1 boot sale on Sunday, my best buy was a role of bubble wrap for 4.00, a little anoyed as i ordered a roll off of e-bay and payed 10.00 the day before :mad:. I also picked up a vintage fisher price pull along dog for 50p (they sell for 10.00-30.00 on ebay) :T. I also picked up some lovely children's clothes ,some i will sell and some i will keep for my girls.

    Today i went to our local charity shop's and picked up some Clark's shoes for my daughter (which will save me buying anymore before september), a Ripcurl skirt for me and a Fisher price casette player with microphone for my little girl, my little girl loves it and it encourages her to talk (she's Autistic and almost non-verbal) all i need now are some children's casettes for her to sing along to (i will be looking out for some at the next boot sale).

    I hope too many charity shop managers wern't watching this as they might all put up their prices which means less bargains for us. I wen't to a charity shop yesterday and the lady behind the till was talking about putting up prices after watching the tv program. Some shops charge over the top already. Theres no way i would pay 8.00 for a top shop jacket when you could get it in top shop for 10.00 in the sale.
