You're so lucky to be spoilt for choice, down here jumbles are either practically non existent, or all at the same time and miles apart! I love em though, you can't beat 20p an item!

Wow that lot sounds amazing, was the jumble in a posh area? I always wonder whether that would make a difference to the type of stuff on offer, not that there's loads of choice down here anyway, but then do they even have jumbles in posh areas?

A good couple of days for me in the local charity shops.

Not the 'bargains' a lot of you have had but very pleased as most of the clothes I have seen have been expensive & rather tatty.

Yesterday I got 2 Per Una summer tops & a Dorothy Perkins top for £4.50 each. They look new to me but without the tags. Also got a new with tags M&S top for £3.50.

Today there was a half price sale at another CS in the town & I got a lovely pair of like new Debenhams winter weight trousers for £2.00 & a new with tags Fairtrade cotton tee shirt from M&S for £2.37.

Last week I got a pair of Principles linen trousers for £4.50 & a new leather belt to go with them for £2.50 so thats me set upfor summer.

I love reading on here what everyone finds. One of my favourite pastimes is checking the local charity shops.

Has anyone ever been to the A47 carboot before? It started back a couple of weeks ago and wondered if it was worth going to? Thank you

I am quietly celebrating the find of a Panasonic breadmaker for £2.50 this morning at the car boot. If it works okay, I shall be shouting from the rooftop.
