    goanmad - well done on all the great finds! im so jealous :)

    Don't be jealous! Hopefully, it will inspire you to get rummaging this weekend, if the weather holds out.
    Got the Thursday car boot and the monthly jumble sale to look forward to tomorrow. :j

    I've just googled Kathy Van Zeeland! Well done. I've got a friend who'd kill for one of those.
  • I didnt realise there were mid week boot sales too.I keep meaning to get round to going to the local sunday market but never do.Wheres the best place to find info on local boot sales?,I am in Scotland.

    I do recommend calling first if there's a number listed as the list can be a bit outdated.

    Week day car boot sales rock! :j

    My local radio station has good listings of car boot sales so some of you might find information with yours. I just checked mine and found 3 for this saturday although its going to rain :(

    Sunday looks good though which is fab as I have not been booting in 5 weeks and am having withdrawl symptoms

    Today I bought a brand new pair of Carvela sandals for £10 - not cheap but as they were from the charity I work for I am happy to pay what they are worth. They would have been about £70 anyway so its still a bargain
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    Is there any way that we can search for only midweek car boots using this site? cant find it?

    I have the great fortune of planning my workload and doing a job where I get to drive all round London and the South inc herts/ beds/ bucks/ essex etc. I can engineer myself to be in the right place at the right time for my lunch hour :cool:;)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    No, I've had a look and can't seem to find a way of doing this either. Perhaps we could email the website with suggestions, I notice they've got quite a lively discussion board for addicts like us.

    Have you tried looking under the classifieds section of the local area's newpaper on- line. This is how I usually find out about jumble sales and car boot sales or you could ask the guys on car parking duty if you're off booting over the weekend.
