Monkeypuzzle, which boot sales can you recommend in London. I've not been able to find any. I'm in West London and see Kilburn Giant Car Boot advertised but not been able to find it.

I'm East London/Essex Jordy, I think there is a big CBS at White City which I went to once along time ago now though, I really don't know Kilburn but have you looked in the local paper?

Today I bought a gorgeous navy blue full jump suit from the 70s in one of my charity shops. Its so cute and will look fab with a big pair of chunky wedges - not cheap but I know the money will be well spent £6.50

That sounds fabulous, Jesa!

Thanks so much for all the kind words and support to everyone, I can't tell you how much it's helped me through the last few days.
