Car boot sales in Stafford.

I got 2 pepper plants, already got 4 fruit on each and lots more flowers too. Very pleased for a quid each, decent sized and very healthy.

I got a pair of 10" collapsible shelf brackets

Yeah my shelves used to do that too. But I'm better at it now.

Get some of them and you can claim it was intentional.

Much better range of stuff today - there was a home-made Polish food stall, a large selection of 35mm camera equipment, a sphygmomanometer and a starting pistol.

All I got, though, was a sine bar.

We noticed it was busy today too - Goldilox bought a hand drill and we found a new grill pan for the oven.

They've been there 3 or 4 weeks now, very nice smoked sausages.

My daughter was enamoured by tatty naked Barbie dolls but I managed to drag her away with promises of donuts. We ended up parting with a pound for a lovely ELC jigsaw map of the world, which she carried proudly all the way home.

Field was full of sellers again today. Got my usual fruit and a few plants, also got a beer pressure keg for £3 which I plan to use later as I'm going to try and make alcoholic Ginger beer.

Indeed it was huge today. There was a lot of camouflage clothing from many different sellers. Although all I got was a large Rolykit for £1:50. I've never seen one of these before, but the standard ones appear now and then. I can rearrange the storage of some of my smaller tools now...

Turns into...

I saw at least 4 different tap and or die threading kits, if it wasn't something I've not needed even once since being taught how to use them at college I might have been tempted.

Don't mention car boot sales to me today, I got up late still went, and when I got there
I realized I had left all my money at home, bargains every where and no money!
And when I got back the wife said "why didn't you go to the cash point across the road"
Bloody obvious when I'm back at home!

 

[Gramaisc]

Huge one today - but all I got was a desk lamp for a quid, a useful one though, as it takes GU10 bulbs and so will be fitted with an LED device which gives plenty of light, but only puts two watts through the meter - and an ex-military sleeping bag, also for a mere quid..

These people want to hire you one of these bags for a minimum of six quid a day.....

Other points of interest - there was alleged to be a cut-away Russian hand-grenade, but I never found that. There seemed to be large numbers of carpenter's planes on offer - and yet more large-scale thread-cutting equipment.

Same here, only bought a paper guillotine, and some vending machine coffee and chocolate, even though I took money this time!

 

[zebidee]

We got some more bargainous kids games, woohoo

 

[Gramaisc]

Big enough again today, but very little of interest - just a clip-on LED lamp for me.

 

[Rikki]

Did you see the kitchen extractor fan? I seem to remember you were after one.

I did, but the switch wasn't identical and I can wait for the right one...

 

[tek-monkey]

I got a reciprocating saw and a camping toast rack

 

[age'd parent]

loads of ink carts for printers, none that fitted mine!
Still I did get 3 cans of spray paint to touch up my van,
and was severely temped by a large tent for £40, but
decided not.
Camping toast rack, darn I missed that and I was there at 7.30!

 

[Gramaisc]

Not much of interest for me this week, as big as it was, all I got was a soil warming cable.

But I did also initiate the importation of some Hungarian DVDs.
