    Am really pleased with todays finds, a jam pan from Cs, 1.99 and a fab bag on wheels, almost new - 3.49. I have been looking for a bag on wheels as Dh can propel his wheelchair but can't carry anything while he does it so I can fill my bag upto my hearts content. :T

    Absolutely chuffed with my bargains at the cbs today!

    31 knitting mags (Let's Knit, Simply Knitting, Yarn Forward and The Knitter) for £2.

    DVD copy of Deliverance, one of DH's faves - had it on vhs but the video died - £1.

    10 different perenials for the garden for £11.50, all of them big healthy well-grown plants - would have been £30 at least at the GC.
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    I love the car boot season! I've been looking for some old fashioned balance scales in british racing green and brass and I found some within 5 minutes of arriving at the opening car boot sale of the year! They aren't cast iron, but they are Salter, with a full set of imperial weights and in really good condition.

    Also bought: BNIB, Whirlpool gas 4 burner hob that retails at £169 - for £35!!! , big stack of old motorsport mags - £4 and soft toys for the dogs (our one and our holiday guest) for 50p each

    Worth going out early for!
