  • I went to a giant book fair at the weekend. Massive bookworm so chuffed to get 13 books for a fiver! In my haul was a Janet and John book for 20p and four Enid Blyton Dean & Son books (which I collect), also 20p each.

    Went to a couple of charity shops yesterday, picked up a Frasier book (all about the show) quite old, but I am a major Frasier fan, love it, only £1.60

    Then in another, a BN GWP set of mini No7 items!! only £3.49 Only one (possibly two, not sure about the colour of the lipstick) item I will not use!! I love No7 :j

    Was selling at the Sedgefield Racecourse car boot sale today and didn't do too badly. Grabbed a couple of bargains myself (including an original 1950's picture for £1) so pleased with the day overall! :)

  • Missed the Sunday boot last week due to winning tickets to see British Touring Cars at Castle Donnington much to my OH's delight.

    However went a local Wednesday carboot yesterday, expecting it to be small and pointless but it was almost as big as a normal Sunday carboot. I dragged my OH along for his first carboot buying experience hehe.

    Didnt buy much but my best baragin was a load of Beatles singles for £1 and my OH couldnt believe how cheap things were. Think i have got him hooked.

    Im off to a Friday boot tomorrow and then selling on Sunday!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend.

    Picked up a lovely old fashioned cane work picnic basket yesterday from a local cs - the condition is great so I will probably leave it like that and reline it.
