Best car boot sale and charity shop bargains.

There is one at Crystal Palace Football Ground which is either Thornton Heath or Selhurst train stations or buses from either SW/SE London Croydon.......

I think that there is one at Wimbledon Stadium as well - bus from Tooting Broadway. Just wondering if you may have already mentioned those!

Have escaped London now so don't know that many more London ones.

OK! Another heads up to Londoners looking for CBs near public transport.

Oh brought home a South London press ( ill reproduce so you dont have to buy UKs most depressing regional paper )
Nearest stations would be Surrey Quays or Canada water or Bermondsey. Quite alot of buses go around there too.

Also theres one on Sat in rosendale school, west dulwich- from 12 noon.

and a monday one in Virgo Fidelis car park se19 on the 27th- starting at 7am, might give that a miss!

Edited to say, if any other london CB sales spotted do let me know!

I won an antique teapot on ebay for £11 including postage.I have seen it for sale for £130 elsewhere and the next cheapest on ebay is about £80.Thats definately one to sell for the wedding fund.

Our local CBS was half empty today for some reason - and the sun was shining too, wonder where everyone has gone? My pick of the bargains today:

CD of love songs £1 (new, still in its wrapper)
set of 12 Michal Morpogu books £3 (if DS doesn't want these they are going on Green Metropolis)
wooden jewellry box £1 (I need a separate one just for my earrings!)
DKNY denim jacket £2 - one for ebay
PLUS 3 old paperbacks for free as the seller was packing up and just wanted rid!

Just 4 months to go so I keep my eyes peeled all the time now for money making finds.I still have about £2k to make but most of that is all last minute final payments and cash on the day so I should manage it in time,just.I seem to be having a lucky streak just hope it continues.
My mum was inspired by my Prada bag find in particular and spent a day searching through the city charity shops for something special.She thinks she has found an authentic chanel bag.I hope it is real as it was £20 in a charity shop.The lady said they get them in quite often and she usually keeps them aside for her daughter.Lucky daughter!

I've seen a few Chanel bags in chazza shops (usually for around the £25 mark) but must say I'm very sceptical and wouldn't risk shelling that much to put them on eBay in case they're proven to be fakes. I don't like those quilted horrors enough to use them myself however many celebs wear them.

I see so many "designer" bags made to order when I go to India I always assume they're the ones cast off in charity shops. I hope your finds are genuine 'cos it all helps with the moneysaving wedding.
