you got some great bargains at the weeke...Hi Mandy,<br />you got some great bargains at the weekend. We went to out local one on Sunday but didn't get much at all. I bought 20 microwaveable containers for freezing extra portions of foods for £1 (stall selling new hardware goods),a large 100ft roll of tin foil (same stall) and 4 packs of back bacon for £5 from the meat van. I didn't actually get anything from the second hand part of the bootsale so quite a disappointing morning really.<br />The best sales are when I go with hardly any money but find loads of cheap bargains (as you did) and come home feeling quite good about my new treasures.<br />We were supposed to be having a new bathroom suite fitted as from last Thursday but unfortunately the plumber collapsed with a heart attack on the Friday after having only taken out the old suite on Thursday. He was rushed to hospital and we were left with no bathroom. We have since managed to find someone else to fit the new suite but he has had to attend to other jobs so cant come back to complete the job until the weekend. We now fortunately have a working bathroom again, just no bath panels on the tub, no bathroom door on, no tiles on the walls, nothing on the bare floorboards and no radiator as its being replaced with a heated towel rail.<br />He will do what he can between his other jobs but we are just grateful for what he could do in the short time he had and at such short notice.<br />I have managed to wangle 3 days off work as I have gotten so far behind with washing, ironing and cleaning so even though im on holiday it certainly wont be a relaxing one I will be catching up with neglected jobs.<br />We still have loads of stuff to buy to get the bathroom finished so finances are going to be stretched to the limit this month. Fortunately I have plenty of bulk food stores so we should be OK. <br />Unfortunatley the weather here has changed and we have had rain for the last few days so its back to having to use the dryer for the wet washing and having to put radiators on for a hour in the evening, I was loving the mini heatwave we were having as it was saving us so much money on the fuel bills.<br />Take care, jane xx janenoreply@blogger.com
