I went off to the Thursday car boot sale again this morning, but somehow fear this may have been the last time I'll be going there this season. There were an awful lot of traders - it was more like a market than a car boot sale - and there was a very chilly wind blowing. I have to say I wouldn't have wanted to be standing around for a few hours in those temperatures - very nippy.
I managed to find a couple of nice tops for myself, which have now been washed and are out on the line blowing in the still fairly chilly wind. As they were only £1.00 each and one of them is a three-quarter sleeve, heavier-weight cotton one which will be suitable for the cooler weather that seems to be the norm here now, I was very pleased.
I also got yet another bottle of Body Shop Shwer Gel - this time a rather yummy smelling pink grapefruit one. A little of it has obviously been used but it's a 250 ml bottle and only cost me 30p (they're £5.85 to buy new - gosh, I hadn't realised quite how expensive Body Shop stuff is!) so that was a nice bargain too. It's a good job the car boot season is drawing to a close as I'm running out of space to store all the shower gel, face wash, moisturiser etc etc that I've got at the moment. Come next spring though it'll all have been used up.
We've been getting chilly breezes here as well, starting to get a little nippy when I hang out my clothes in the mornings. It's great that you have all of your supplies lined up for a year, think of how much you will have saved.

Well done on finding the tops. Our booty is drying up too - lots and lots of traders spoiling it.
Like you I've been collecting toiletries for the colder leaner months - its so nice to spoil yourself on a cold winters day.

ooh that is a bargain, Bodyshop stuff is pricey, but i always enjoy buying/receiving it as i like their ethics and also know it's not going to upset my skin, so good find for you!! It's a shame the carboot season is nearly up, i imagine it will be the same for our local one as we've been away the last 2 weekends in Wales we've probably missed the last ones now.
