You'll have to hope that you don't really really like all this posh expensive stuff as the chances of finding it again probably won't be high & poundland specials may not seem the same afterwards.

Indeed, maybe i will just look at it so not to use it up so quickly, couldn't believe it when i just see it sitting there...there were loads of folk in the shop but ob no one realised what it was...so i was very lucky, i reckon it will last quite a while if i only use it for special occassions xx

Yesterday I sold at our local car boot. This time we stayed until the very end - usually pack up and go about 12. It got to 1pm and there was only a few people still about. We looked around and someone had just left all the stuff they hadn't sold and drove off so I went to investigate and got loads of clothes and shoes for free. Then my friend said it's worth going through the bins so we did and got more stuff - including some brand new baby clothes.
So when we ended up bringing back more than what we had taken!
So shocked at what people throw away!
