    Is is just me though or are charity shops getting a bit on the expensive side? I noticed recently the prices are creeping up in some of them. I saw a ladies pair of jeans for £6.50, now I am all for charaties but for a second hand pair of jeans I thought that was a bit steep. They werent designer ones or anything, I think they were BHS.

    OK maybe £500 on clothes then:D , only thing is it would take me a year to spend even that as I hate clothes shopping. If something doesnt fit me or look right I get a stress on in the changing rooms and end up buying nothing because I cant be bothered finding anything else on the rails.

    Is there something wrong with me:rotfl: Now HMV, I could spend a fortnight in there.:rolleyes:
    You have a point.... that or the supermarkets clothes are getting cheaper... I find tesco/asda really good value as well as charity shops.

    I need to do a car boot sale - got LOADS of stuff that isn't very ebay friendly, but I don't want to go to the big one in Leeds because it's horrible, just full of kids selling dodgy dvds and games. I'm waiting for a nice, friendly, local one.

    Do you mean the one in East End Park?

    There's a much nicer one next to Leeds Bradford airport. It's more of a 'proper' boot sale rather than a market IFKWIM.

    I've never done a car boot. They have a local one every bank holiday but it's bloody awful :rotfl:

    Morning all...im so tired today. Went to London yesterday to see my sister in the marathon...she was amazing, as were all the other runners.
    Em thats a good amount for a car boot, I desperately need to do one, as I have things like stair gates and bits of old furniture that I don't want to keep, but would like to make a bit of money on.
    Sarah, did you have another AS party this weekend?
