Buzz from car boots

Sallys_Savings

Just off in a moment to an afternoon car boot......and well.....I know its sad but I'm really excited. :j

I havent managed to go to one for a few months and I'm really looking forward to going.

*laughing* My kids think I'm daft.

I get a real buzz before going, a buzz when I'm buying, a buzz when I return to show off my bargains and a buzz when I sell or use them.....:D

Who needs drugs and alcohol :rotfl:

Anyone else feel this way?

Yes, I get like that too! I get bargain withdrawal during the winter months when there are hardly any boot sales or jumble sales, then I feel quite excited when I go to the first jumble sale or car boot sale of the year. My husband doesn't understand me!

Same here, I regularly visit two. It's great when I spot something for pennies which I know is worth £20+ have to say does'nt happen often!!

But I love haggling for a bargain!

On Sunday i went to a carboot sale and saw a stall which had some clothes for 20p each - i had a look through and selected loads of bits (highlights being oasis evening dress, von dutch tshirt, gap top, FCUK top, some Morgan bits and some Ted Baker shirts, and a brand new handbag from Red Herring with Tags!!!!) i can get a few quid for these on ebay i was sooo excited.

I hope you mean you want to customise them, not to cannibalise them! Laura Ashley is still pretty big on eBay.
Haven't been to a boot sale for a while now, so I'm having to rely on charity shops for my bargain "fix". Yesterday, I bought a skirt for myself (50p), a T-shirt for my son (£1) and a vintage dressing gown for eBay (£1).
