Hubby is away until after Eid, so usually visiting boot sales
would have been out of the question. But my mum and dad are planning to
go Pakistan later this year, so have been visiting boot fairs at the weekend to
do some their shopping. Last weekend, they called me soon after fajr
(dawn) prayer and asked me if I wanted to go with them. I didn’t need to
be asked twice.
We ended up driving about an hour away to the Chelmsford BootFair. This was the first time I visited this site and it turned out to be
one of the best boot fairs I have been to. We left late morning to return
home laden with bargains. I found some really nice things for next to
nothing alhamdulillah.
I bought the red alphabet toy and the microphone as soon as I got
there. Both were working with batteries and cost £1 and 50p respectively. The assortments
of purses, walkie talkies and wind-up torches were all 50p each.
Most of the items in the picture below were also 50p, everyone
ended up with a pair of sunglasses, I kept the pretty necklace with the crystal
hearts and Little Lady has already filled the acrylic butterfly with her
earrings. The grey mirror matches her bedroom. LL also took the tin
of post its and the naughty book. The naughty book has been a source of
great hilarity. I come home from work and every day the days
misdemeanours are recorded in it much to both Darling and Baby's dismay (ok
maybe Darling, Baby loves to create mischeif). Even I and my mum-in-law get a
mention.
The practice books were 20p each and the watercolour pad and book
were 50p.
This was my pile for myself, varying from 20p to £1. I have been
interested in NLP for some time, so look forward to seeing what I can learn
from this book.
