Sunday Car Booty

Cold and windy this morning, but inexplicably I’d been tossing and turning since 6 am, so getting out of bed at 7 wasn’t a hardship.

Once again, an awful lot of tat to sift through, but I suspect that it’s just the time of year – looking back at the last couple of year’s Sunday Car Booty posts in January, bargains seem to be thin on the ground.

Anyway, without further ado, here is what I bought this morning:

Shoes – £1 per pair

M&S ladies’ linen shorts £1

Debenhams prom dress – nicer in rea life than my photo would have you believe – £1

Per Una Skirt £1.50, Laura Ashley cardigan £1

Perfume giftset £1.50, Avon eye cream £2

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Giftset – £2

And with that, I’m off for a large cup of tea and a sit down with my book!

 

**Linking up this week with Magpie Monday over at Me & My Shadow, and Second Hand Buys at Me The Man and The Baby.**

Friday Shopping Spot

Woken up this morning feeling generally under the weather and with a rotten headache, so once I’ve finished this post, I’m going to do the hoovering, have a tidy round, and then curl up on the sofa, methinks.  William’s been struggling with a horrible cold all week, so perhaps I’ve got that coming – just in time for the weekend – lovely!

Anyway, without further ado, here’s some more of my recently shopping highlights:

First up, these fab winter boots I picked up for William in Asda this week for only £12.  He’s been mooching round in Crocs or school trainers since the summer (apart from his school shoes) so I thought it was about time I bought him something more suited to our current weather!  He even likes them – result!

I popped into Richley’s last week (not one of my usual shopping stops, but my car was parked right next door, as I was picking up my new bedroom lights from the shop next door, and as they had a huge sign proclaiming a big closing down sale, I just had to go and have a quick nosy.  Very worthwhile as it turned out, as I picked up two of these pretty summer dresses (Monsoon) and three of these Per Una skirts, all to sell on Ebay, for the absolute rock bottom price of £1 each!  Was jolly glad I went in after all!

And last but not least, but lovely new bedroom lights.  I am so pleased with my bedroom, just the finishing few touches to complete now, and it will be done.  Please excuse the appalling bottom photo, I wanted to show you how the bedside lights look on and off, but it hasn’t come out brilliantly.  They look much better in real life, I promise.

Sunday Car Booty

What a struggle to get out of bed this morning – I SO didn’t want to climb out from under my duvet!  Anyway, I did, and here’s today’s rundown:

Monsoon two piece outfit, 50p to sell (the camera flash has made it look a bit psychedelic, but in real life it’s actually quite nice!)

Lots of shoes:

• Crocs, £1.50 to sell (do hope they’re still in demand next summer!)
• Reebok trainers, 50p to sell
• Tan peep toe leather heels – lovely shoes, 50p brand new absolute bargain – supposed to be for me but they’re rather tight, so may well be sold.
• Jones leather flip flops – rather nice, 50p, but too big for me, so for selling
• Football boots, 50p, poss to keep for Will when he needs the next size up.
• Moshulu flat pumps – 50p, brand new, supposedly to sell, but they are SOOOOO comfy, I might keep them myself

Travel Monopoly, 50p, to sell – Tresemme hair mouse 50p, Molton Brown Body Lotion 50p, supposed to sell, but realised is not quite full when I got home, so I’ll keep it.

Coast pink dress, £2.50 to sell (just need to find a skinny friend to model it now, as it needs to be worn to photograph well!)

Coast silk skirt, £1.50 to sell – gorgeous!

Per Una cardigan, 50p to sell

A good morning’s booty-ing. Plans for the rest of Sunday include menu planning for the week and sorting out an internet shop, gettting rid of the pile of stuff that has grown out of my in tray onto my desk, and later on I’m going to watch High School Musical with Will, and catch up on Strictly Come Dancing, which I recorded last night.

Have a great Sunday, everybody! xx
