    An hour and a half of walking around... and I came back with a red bandana for £1 from one of the market type stalls. Felt too shy to ask about a price on a set of boots body butters, so missed out on them... so not so good this week :(

    You did better than me, I came home empty handed this week. Why were you too shy to ask for the price? You never know what people are asking, and nothing ventured nothing gained :) Good luck for next time, i'm sure you'll find some lovely things. :)

    Thanks for the info WelshDragoness, I think we went to one there a couple of years ago, never seen it advertised again since, not there next week but will try it the fortnight after x :)

    Couture 1920's beaded flapper dress for £3 in perfect nick.

    Based on initial enquiries it should pay for this years holiday to vietnam :j
    Not bad considering I was getting miffed at only seeing tat and overpriced tut and was about to leave and go get breakfast.

    Himself spotted a pewter mug he liked the look of, for a pound.
    Out of curiosity, we looked up the maker on the net - still going & the tankard-in-its-presentation-box retails for over £100!
    Himself is hugely amused...
