...................weather permitting.....tomorrow..............and the forecast is looking OK.
I started a list of what to look for this year
- Clothes Pegs. Just ordinary wooden ones with a spring. I tend to use these for pegging all sorts of things in the garden and bags in the freezer and then the number I have to actually peg out clothes gets less until there are hardly any in the peg bag.
- Small ceramic oblong pie dishes. Had to chuck out two small ones last year - both really badly crackled glaze.
- A new sieve - one of mine has a crack in the rim
- Interesting looking books
- Christmas Crackers
- Birthday cards - especially for men
- Useful things from house clearance people - like half used packs of baking parchment, foil, cling film etc
- A Pretty plate for Spring display - cheap
- Jigsaws for next autumn/winter
Then I was in Stowmarket a couple of weeks ago and went in the Barnardo's Charity shop where I saw a pack of pegs for £1.50 - plus the Grandson card for 50p.
So one thing crossed off before the first boot-sale even happens.
Probably far too wet underfoot for the Sunday boot-sale to start although their website says they will try, but I don't fancy getting stuck on their soggy car park.
Back Soon

I love the lists,
ReplyDeleteso you get exactly what you need!
I must copy this tip, and keep a list on my phone.
ReplyDeleteI keep a list in my little notebook for visiting charity shops. I feel it's better to browse for a purpose rather than being sucked in by something pretty I don't need.

Now, if you were to nip over to West sussex you could choose some of the small le creuset pie dishes I've stacked up ready for a charity shop run...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration - making a list sounds perfect.
