Quick off the mark, @Floss ! There were still rich pickings last year, but prices have shot up so I'm interested to see what treasures we come up with in 2023. Clearly I need to reign in my fondness for SS kettles!Floss said:A lovely shiny new thread for our chazzer shopping in 2023...No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.8 -
I’m only going to be reading to see what others have bought. I’m not for buying anything else! Nothing! I’m stuffed to the gills with stuff and need nothing. Truly. Cross my heart and hope to die.😆😆😆I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.14

I thought I'd get the new thread up & running while I still had headspace and before family arrive for the holidays!

I'm in for 2023 - and once again I expect most of my treasures to come from car boot sales, with the occasional chazza on rainy days or in winter. I also need to get rid of stuff, but it tends to go in dribs and drabs as I'm not good at it.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Can't wait for the Bedale car boot to start up. Is it Easter when it starts again? Trust me to only discover it on it's very last day of the year!!!Cherryfudge said:I'm in for 2023 - and once again I expect most of my treasures to come from car boot sales, with the occasional chazza on rainy days or in winter.

How sad is this - I've already looked it up and all I can find is 'middle of March'.Miró said:Can't wait for the Bedale car boot to start up. Is it Easter when it starts again?
