South Staffordshire - Cannock mostly. It's often too cheap to haggle but it's always worth a cheeky try! x

Got a pair of Italian leather suede cream walking boots. They were £6.50 but hadn't been worn. Got them on Wednesday while on holiday in Haverford West, and I was desperate for a pair of boots because of the change in the weather!

I just got a chunky vintage looking cardigan for £1 from my local charity shop! Gonna be a staple in my wardrobe this autumn/winter I feel!

Had a mini road trip in my 1983 MK1 Golf this morning to Stoneleigh Park car boot.

Plenty there but only came away with an immaculate Mason Cash mixing bowl and veg for my cottage pie cooking session later on!

Impressed!!

Nothing for me as we've had too many late ones recently and needed to catch up on ZZZZZZ's.

Intended to go chazzing yesterday but a killer headache put paid to that so we may do a road trip sometime this week instead.
