carboot bargains

Went to the local car boot yesterday and saw a woman selling embroidery theads in a plastic and I thought there were about 20 hanks  in there .she said £3 the lot so I said ok and she put the lid on and off I went.i have just got the tub out of the car and looked at them.they are all anchor and they are about 85p in shops.i got 65 hanks in that tub.so o am well impressed.

 

any one else got a car boot bargain

I've not been to a car boot sale for years now.  We have one at one of the multi-storey car parks in town on a Sunday but they only seem to sell bad quality tat.

That's why I never use proper names, I have job enough with the IDs.  Someone wanted to be my friend on face book.  I said ok but I've no idea who it is.  She's friends of lots on here though and I've seen her avatar before but I don't know who it is!!  Woman LOL
