and a bangle for 50p once more.Not a huge haul but the quality is definitely going up and prices coming down to my level. Er, that would be 50p and a £1, big spender that I am!

So all in all I had a pleasant Saturday morning. Sunday I didn't get to any boot sales as I was at a dog show all day but Monday being Easter Monday I was back at a big special booty and managed to collect a few more treasures which I'll show you later.

BTW I'm sorry if I haven't been visiting everyones blogs as often as normal but last week I started a creative writing course and have been writing like mad. OK that is a pure lie! (I'll burn for my sins and exaggerations one day)

What I've really been doing is.... sucking the end of my pen and wondering what to write! I could unleash my Time Travel Romance story upon the world but I feel too embarrassed at standing in front of everyone and reading sections of it out. Yes that is what you have to do! On my first visit they made me stand up and tell them who I was and why I was there! I've never been to an AA meeting but I bet that is what they do there.

Then a lady who I was sat next to said, "John is really a hard task master he beats you with whips!"

What do I go and say but, "That sounds nice. I might like it." Caught the fellas eye and went red! Me and my big mouth, I don't half drop myself in it sometimes. :-)

At the end of the meeting I also said, "I've had a great time but have to get off now as I have someone coming round at 4 o'clock for a mating..." Wondered why I got a few funny looks and it was only when I was nearly home that I realised I didn't say they were coming to mate their bitch to my dog.

So, perhaps I'd better not read out my romantic and sometimes rather steamy story they already must think I'm a bit odd. Think I'll just play safe and read out the set exercise 'recollections and rememberence', they won't hopefully think I'm too nutty then ;-) .

Fab bargains!! I love carboot sales :D

Ha ha, I bet the group are looking forward to what you'll say next ;)

Love your bargains, they were all great value.

Fab about the course, well done you!xxx

Great boot bargains! I STILL haven't been to a car boot sale this year yet!! Although my charity shop haul yesterday made up for it.

Good luck with the creative writing course... your slips of the tongue did make me laugh,

Your slips of the tongue were brilliant, just like things I would say, keep it up next time!!

Nice finds, I like to spend 50p or £1 on most things at boot sales, but find I walk away from things costing more then kick myself when I get home...sometimes it's worth spending a little more. I'm sure your group found you very entertaining :)

Great post, made me laugh. Those are the sort of things I'd come out and say. xx

Lovely finds there Sharie, the necklace is really lovely

Hi Ya,

Thanks for my post yesterday :-)
Thankyou for your nice comment about my Sizzix Dolls, I am trying to make a "career" out of this papercraft lark, so if I can make things that people like and want to buy that'l be a start ;-).

You managed to pick up some great stuff at your carboot I see! Love a rummage myself :-)
