the charity shops in York are really over priced too, BNWT dresses for £30-£40 when I've bought a BNWT River Island dress in a Leeds charity shop for £4!

A great today, only went to one boot sale, payed to get in early, spotted some 80's my little pony's in the back of a car so waited. I managed to get:

5 my little pony play sets, including the huge castle and pony parlour, all boxed and complete (down to the combs and hair bands).

A huge tub of my little pony's (30+), some rare.

A care bare play set complete with care bares.

Another small care bare play set (with car)

Loads of pony clothes, shoes, brushes, hairbands etc.

I payed 60.00 for the lot which i thought was great, i will let my daughter play with it and then sell it on e-bay for a fortune (i hope).

Also picked up:

A vintage fisher price record player 5.00

Mouse trap (which my daughter has been looking for for a while) 1.50

A pound puppy (another toy from my childhood) 1.00

So i'm happy!

Hope you all had a good day and managed to find lots of bargains, lets hope the weather is ok for tomorrow as lots of boot sales on.

Saffrons mum - I sold my childhood one of these just before Christmas for £50!...it went all the way to Australia! They seem to be going for about £25 at the moment on ebay, well done on all your bargains / investments!

We squeezed two in yesterday (at 39 weeks pregnant!) - one was a bit over-priced so came away with nothing, then our usual was mainly looking for stuff for the new baby and got a brand new Tomy Carrier for £5 (currently retailing for £29.99), a sac n seat for £1 (again retailing on Amazon for £14.99), and a free top and tail bowl thrown in. Very pleased.

Fab haul goanmad - I would like to get a pair of harem pants.

I didn't go to the bootsale yesterday as I had a very late night with lots of alcohol on Saturday so yesterday was mostly spent sleeping. Mum got me a few things though:

New Miss Selfridge rose print mini 50p
Floral Lipsy halter dress 50p
Primark nautical dress 50p

Saturday afternoon I bought a Ben Sherman polo shirt for my brother for £1 from our cheap local charity shop and a nice Lily Allen New Look strapless dress for £4.50. I am going to sew in some straps though as its a bit big

Today I got a new Primark floral dress for £2, some very groovy 60s print pink curtains and I can't remember what else as its all in the washing machine. Will pop back later if I remember

Sounds like you did well too, Jesa!

A alcohol-fueled night out is always fun.
