My poor blog has been neglected for a while, I've lost my confidence with outfit posts cos I can't find a good place to take them in the apartment, I think I need to invent in a tripod for my camera.

Aw I didn't know you lived in l'pool, that's good to know

I don't drive so the carboots I currently go to is bootle and aigburth (going to both tomorrow because one starts earlier than the other and if I'm buying a bus ticket I may as well!)

In terms of charity shops I think I've nearly seen them all now, southport is defo my fave, allerton is good too. Walton is scary but a couple of good ones there, waterloo is average, only a couple in bootle but worth a look, I haven't done crosby or formby yet, I love the ones over in berkinhead. Am I missing any good ones?

I also like the flea market over at lark lane and i went to a table top sale on roby road last week that was quite good. Not come across a jumble sale yet though

Sharron! Long time no see!

Queenie, I didn't realise you were just going there for the day. Quite a long time to spend on trains!

Lola - that's always the way with shoes isn't it? The second you want a particular style & colour, you can't find anything at all

My outfit for the day has been:

White, red & blue stripy dress with poppy pattern round the hem - New Look
Red cardi - Matalan
White sandals - Chiara
Star earrings - New Look
Butterfly necklace - found down the back of a bed when I was about 5

hey alex how was waterloo today and did you decide on the carboot tomorrow? oh questions, questions

Yeah I go just for the day, well a few hours really, I attend a group thing, then go for coffee and lunch with friends after and catch the train back about 2pm, sometimes I stay over, but usually there and back in a day.

Waterloo was good - not in terms of clothes, although I did get a gorgeous leather belt for 30p in the CAFOD shop, but I got LOTS of books so I was pleased

Think I'll skip the car boot tomorrow as I'm still horribly short on sleep and could really do with a good lie-in but I'm sure I'll be around at plenty of the other ones over the summer if you fancy meeting up at some point

Queen_of_NO_MATTER_WHAT

yeah that souds fab enjoy your lie in.

you buy so many books, how many do get through a week? I'm going through a reading phase again and am getting through a couple a week at the moment, will need to keep an eye out at the carboot tomorrow for another couple to keep me going

pride and prejudice is on ITV3, that's me set up for the night

I don't think I've ever counted. I keep a record in my diary of what I've been reading that day so I should probably go back and tot them up at some point. It's two so far today, and I haven't been home for most of it...

Queen_of_NO_MATTER_WHAT

finished two tody or started two today?

***news flash***

calling all liverpool/merseyside second hand junkies

Jumble sale dates...looks like there was one today (grrrr) the dates for the rest of the year are listed though, next one in october!

Alexnikov

Started and finished

Oh I should have remembered about the Mossley Hill one - loads of the volunteers at work go to that church. St Marys (few mins walk down the road from the cricket club) has various sales throughout the year as well.

are we talking small thin books? I'm astounded how you can read two books in a day unless they are tiny books. If I'm on holday having a lay in the sun day I could prob do most of one, and I'm not a slow reader!

Oooo next time you drive past (you live that way don't you?) have a look and see if there is anything advertised, or I could ring them up and find out when the next one is.
