So we get home from our holiday at 1.20am and are both up and out 6 hours later to go carbooting to the Cheshire car boot sale as we have missed it during our holiday.
What a lovely sunny morning and we are hopeful of a massive carboot sale to wander around in the sunshine. We get to the field to find it has been raining so heavily while we have been on holiday that the field is waterlogged and the sale cancelled. Disappointed we travel to the farmers market not far away to find that all the sellers are there after they could not get on the Cheshire carboot sale. A yippee from us and some good buys.
I find my favourite seller and buy two Jo Malone colognes in 30ml size from her. They are Nactarine Blossom & Honey which is such a summer scent. Fruity and light. The second is Wild Fig & Cassis which is a spicy fruit and cedar wood scent. Great for a summer evening. I love them both and paid £25 each for them. They are both brand new but without a box. They are normally £42 each so a £17 saving on each one.
I also bought more of the Oilily Ovation range as it smells just gorgeous. At Easter I bought two perfumes and two body wash. I gave one of each to my sister but regretted not buying the body cream so when I saw she had all three items this week I bought two body creams, another perfume and a body wash. At £2.50 each these are such a bargain, especially as the body cream is over £31 on line at the moment. The seller is such a lovely lady and I only just resisted buying Liz Earle and Cath Kidston items off her this week. No doubt I won't be able to resist next week.
There was a great little animal charity stall where I bought a Lily flame chocolate truffle scented candle for £1 (usually £8.95) and a brand new floaty scarf for 50p. I think these candles are really cheap and cheerful and always buy them when I see them for sale at 50p or £1.
I bought two perfume tote bags for £1 each from two different stalls. I use these as gift bags to put birthday presents in for girlfriends and my sister and niece. They are cheaper than paper birthday gift bags and far more useful afterwards. They make great beach bags or shopping bags. There is a Vera Wang one and a Marc Jacobs one.
My brother in law is a real whisky connoisseur so when I saw these two whisky tasting glasses at 50p each in their boxes I thought they would make great stocking fillers for him.
I bought a couple of Avon items at £1 each. One is a box of their planet spa range single face masks and the other is a jar of Ultimate age repair cream. I feel I need this cream after two weeks in the sun. I am much more careful with sun cream on my face after having skin cancer on my nose last year. I put factor 50 on every day but my skin still feels like it need a real thick cream as it is dry at the moment.
I also bought three bottles of ciate nail varnish and glitter because no matter what age you are, a woman (girl?) always needs a bit of sparkle.
I bought my usual collection of DVDs at 3 for £1 and 50p each to keep my occupied on the evenings when the TV is rubbish.
Well we hope for the full Cheshire carboot sale experience next week so I am praying for sunny weather for the whole of this week to dry out the field.
