I'm reading but unfortunately the boot sales here have finished. I will be on the lookout for jumble sales now as I need my fix. Goanmad - is that jumpsuit going on eBay? I have a thing for jumpsuits and playsuits

It is! It's a vintage Uk 10 so more of a contemporary 8. I'm tempted but don't think it's a good look when you wore them the first time round. x

LG 19'' flat panel monitor. £15.

Like new it is. Bit risky buying that sort of thing froma car boot but the woman sounded/looked genuine. Got it home and its perfect, 6 months on and its still going strong.

I buy loads of the usual as listed above but just needed to share this with you.
I love autograph books vintage or new etc
I bought one at a car boot for £30 (yes I know it was a lot, my husband went into a trance!) but you know when you think this is different.

Well I sent it to a specialist and they gave me £500 for four pages!!They sent the rest back which they valued at £250 but they did not sell those particular items.

I have sold some of the others and got a little more than they said.

I am more happy than a happy person. I know it dos not happen often but how lucky am I?

Methinks a good Xmas, a holiday, or just pay a loan off!

All good finds from posters!

I bought 9 items of clothing mainly for myself at £7.50 for the lot. All good brands, Monsoon, Reiss, Gap, Per Una. Either Pure Wool, linen, cashmere or silk. Went home hugely pleased, all in my new size of 14......or so I thought. All too big! I've lost 3 stone since late Spring and come back to a size I thought I wouldn't reach again. Whatever that size is.

I popped into our local Hospice charity shop yesterday and picked up a few bits. When I was at the till I noticed a little glass heart shaped pendant and paid two pounds for it. I came back and googled the name on the box and they sell for between £18-26. Not a huge amount I know, but I would have paid full price for it. Now I just need to find something in the right shade of blue to wear with it.

I'm sure the Cath Kidston sells lots of her stuff to celebrities. I have a set of her vases which were quite expensive. Her bed throws on QVC are over £100.
Good find!!! x
