OMG!! Today I went to my first car boot of the year and managed to get my son a fire engine toddler bed with mattress for £30! It was virtually brand new and my toddlers face was a picture when he saw it!! They are £250 to buy brand new!

On a visit to the dentist popped in charity shop and got an Emma Bridgwater polka dot plate (first quality) for £1
Was willing the woman who had it in her hand to put it down then I swooped in and snaffled it ( nearly knocking her over in the process!!)

We went to the CB on Saturday and I got my best bargin to date! I have wanted a tag-along-bike for my Daughter for ages, following them on e-bay where they go for £40-£50. Found one at the CB on Saturday for £10 - I nearly bit the womans hand off!! We were out on it all afternoon Saturday all day yesterday and I've been to pick her up from pre-school on it today! A great bargin and I'm getting fit at the same time!

Nothing much else there and Sunday's was very small due to the rain. Roll on next weekend as we'll be going Saturday, Sunday and Monday!!

What a bargain, we brought our daughter the same bed off of e-bay for 50.00 but we had to buy a mattress.

I didn't buy much at the CB this week, just some clothes for the dd's (zara and GAP) for 3.50 (15 items).
