What a beautiful sunny Sunday for a good walk early in the morning.
I found a few useful things amongst all the junk
The Weird Bugs book (50p)is ready for Jacob's next visit - it's a pop up moving parts book that I reckon he will like. There's a pack of 4 Princess/Fairy sticker books(50p) for the two Granddaughters. My War Diary(50p) is actually a childrens book - which I should have realised but I'll have a look. RHS Plants and Flowers (£1) so I can sort out the things in the garden that I don't recognise. There's a gift set of re-usable bag and mug which will be a Christmas present (£2.50) A pack of 10 charity Christmas cards (20p) and the small microwave steamer (£2) is something I've thought about buying for a while - it will save me using cling film when I do frozen peas etc in the microwave.
A useful morning and money well spent.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely bits from the car boot and the children will be pleased, i have the RHS book very useful. I have stopped using cling film in the microwave and use a covered Pyrex dish.

The RHS book is an absolute bargain. Mine was a gift years ago and I know cost over £30 in the late 80's.
ReplyDeleteI had that RHS book (from my mum) but gave it to a charity shop in the latest clearout before we moved. A bargain. Bet the steamer is useful too. I don't use clingfilm in the m/wave, but put a plate over instead.
ReplyDeleteA good haul!
Good buys! I was given that RHS book as a (then) expensive present years ago. Now, you can hardly give them away! A bargain for you as it is good.
ReplyDeleteI also use covered Pyrex in the microwave. No problem as long as you only use a tiny amount of water.
The steamer is excellent, I use it most days. I boil potatoes in around eight - twelve minutes, depending on how many I'm cooking for. Only need a tablespoon or two of boiling water. Basket means no trouble pouring off the water.
ReplyDeleteA good haul there. The grandchildren will love their books. xx
ReplyDeleteLots of good finds at the boot sale!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to hear what in the Plants and Flowers encyclopedia you didn't already know!
ReplyDeleteFlossies War Diary is an absolutely beautiful book, its actually in the school curriculum for year 5/6. You must keep it for the grands. Its a pleasure to read, there are so many little things to catch your eye. Wish I had had it, its a steal at 50 p !!!!
ReplyDeleteGood items you found. I'm retired and need to buy less than I have been lately. Thankfully my husband still works and our mortgage is paid off.
ReplyDeleteYou found a nice variety and at great prices too. I think I would have bought that steamer as well!
ReplyDeleteLovely car boot haul! I went to a couple of garage sales when visiting daughter but I didn't find a lot.
ReplyDeleteI shall be interested to know how you get on with the steamer. I find that now I have an induction hob that it is so fast I hardly use my microwave!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very good car boot shop. You did well on the steamer. My friend has one and loves it.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Great haul, I do miss a visit to the car boot sale.
