Car boot, closing down sale and ebay

We don't often go on a shopping spree, but we did today. The posh frocks and handbag shop is closing down, so we bought the posh essential oils for £1 each.............a blog will follow with what I will do with them.

The car boot sale didn't have anything I wanted to buy today but people were selling surplus from their gardens, I bought the veg for 50p a bunch and the cucumbers for 20p each, so £1.90 for our veg for the weekend.
The bargain of the year was my purchase for Dearly Beloved and he's always wanted one. I've been watching a trailer on ebay, I sat and waited at the end of the auction, no one bid and I put in my bid and bought this trailer for the unbelievable price of £50.01



It used to be a trailer tent, but now it's just a trailer and will be brilliant for our camping trips, when we've paid off our debts and can go again..........probably this time next year at the rate we're going. Talking of debts, today I paid off the last of Dearly Beloved's HSBC card of the balance of £609.14 and another £500 off our Virgin card, which we have at 0% and another £225 off Barclaycard which we also have at 0%! It may be extreme debt repayment and a massive overpayment each month, but the debts are just melting away.




The trailer is in good order, the electrics work and all it needs is a number plate and we can go off camping for a few days.



At £50, it has to be the best bargain I've ever bought!
