monkeypuzzle32-Can I ask which London ones you go to please? Thanks x

I am East London/Essex so I go to WansteadRugby club in Woodford Green on Saturdays,moves to Chigwell nr the David Lloyd club.

on Sundays I got to Picks Cottage on Sewardstone road Chingford.Its not the best but is good to go to after 8am!!There is also Netherhouse farmup the road from there but its expensive to get into and not brilliant imo.

Ahh Scottish Lass, I help run a Scout Group too! Well done on raising so much money!

Thanks, it's a lot of work and organisation but well worth it! We hold one every year at this time and always do well out of it. Def one to suggest to your GSL! lol

I'll will def suggest it to my GSL! Sounds like fun & I might even be able to pick up a few bargains myself!

The weather on Saturday was horrible, I got to my local bootsale (Sadler's farm in Essex) at 8.45AM and it was half empty so it was slim pickings, all I got was a 50p Primarni vest top, last season with a swallow tattoo print on.

Hopefully going to Rettendon next Saturday so fingers crossed for some OK weather!

Also excited as I'm going on a bit of a charity shop crawl on Wednesday after a job interview.

I'm a newly addicted car boot addict but have been doing them for a while.
Usually try and visit Dunchurch(Rugby) on a saturday, Long itchington(Near Southam) on a weds and Leamington Rugby club(now Stonleigh park) on sunday.

I'm a big vinyl addict, I collect/buy/sell/trade whatever so always have my eyes peeled for stuff I want or just rare stuff cheap. The other week I spotted a bloke with 3 lovely vintage 60s record boxes, asked what he wanted and he said "fiver", never gonna haggle him at that. Went to pick them up and realised they were full of vinyl which he said was in with the deal, second later he grabbed another from his trailer and said I could have that aswel. Got home checked the contents and there was a factory mint Johan Strauss lp worth £130 in there aswell as a load of £10 stuff. Same carboot picked up a copy of Bowie lets dance with the labels missing for a £1(missing labels from factory so rare), South park series 6 boxset for £1 + a Haynes manual for the new car £3.
Picked up a filing cabinet for a fiver from the local Lions charity sale.
