    That one is at tranwell at morpeth my mam sells her old stuff (a lot of mine as well now) sometimes. The stuff I got last sunday was right at the end I didnt go round all the stalls

    There was a gorgeous dragon clock I was tempted to buy at the next stall and at the other side the girl had some great fcuk stuff

    I go without my mam and at the start I have much better bargains

    I once got a £40 perfume set for a £1 and have got great virgin vie sets for £1 here

    There is some great and it would be great to look at the start before the rest of the buyers come like the other sellers do but I am usually too busy setting up we seem to be less organised that everyone else

    There is a good one in north sheilds in a hall each week were I got some great next jeans for £1 with a leather belt and a fenwicks top for a £ that had been £45

    Plenty of bargains but I usually dont have a clue of what to look for and have probably let some right gems slip through my fingers
    I just look for something I like as well as getting stuff for people I know if I think I would like it
    Needing to lose weight start date 26 December 2011 current loss 60 pound Down. Lots more to go to get into my size 6 jeans
