Im really looking forward to doing a car boot on Sunday as ive not done one for ages - Make money and spend lots while there to ...So no doubt Ill have a huge list to add after the weekend ..The only bad thing is the clocks go forward so instead of setting off at 5am ...it will really be 4am ...no point in going to bed :cool:...shades will be needed to cover my shopping bags under my eyes :rotfl:

I picked up a pale blue linen dress by Boden for £4.50. Just watched a pink one go for £15 on ebay. Undecided if to sell or keep it.

A £4.00 Laura Ashley navy with white flower print 100% size 16 cotton long skirt with a wide tier at the bottom. It reminds me of my mum making me such a skirt about 1980! Its new with tags but its to big and a bit to long (only 5ft2 and a half here) and i am trying to lose weight so will probably ebay it.

Fat Face top £2.50 bluey/grey its crochet style at the top and fine knitted at the bottom very flattering on.

A principles cotton maxi dress with a purple flower print its totally fab and just about not to long Definately keeping it.

Thanks to all for your kind wishes. My dad died on Sunday so I've not been on much:(

Mum and brother took me shopping earlier in the week to try and take my mind off things and I bought a 1950s red & black hat with black veil.

Our bootsale should be starting this week but the weather forecast is not good. To be honest I could have done with getting out for an early morning rummage.
