    Golly you paid for an Abalone shell? We call them Paua in NZ and you can find them on the beaches. Tiny ones are very cute. A lot of fashion jewellery is made with the shells.

    The Dickens and Jones box! I worked there 30 years ago! Loved those crystal door knobs...so much good stuff 😮

    You can’t harvest abalone shells anymore they are protected now. Good fine.

    Liked the Detergent tin. I found the same at Target (US) for $27.00 or 21 pounds. So 3pounds is a great deal.

    F&M basket would definitely have been coming home with me. I never see them apart from when you go to boot sales. Somebody in your area is obsessed with shopping at F&M 😂 🤣 😂

    Hi Mr Carrington. Thank you for another amazing video. Personally I think you did really well at the car boot sale and if I had to give up anything it would be the wine cover. I love the laundry storage tin, shells and lavender oh and the mugs and think they were all great buys. I wish we had as good a car boot sales where I live in Scotland. Looking forward to your £10 challenge. You always make me smile. Have a lovely day ❤️

    I spied some retro yellow flower plates, I would have loved to have looked at them. I hope our carboot in on this Sunday, it’s on a football pitch and Cornwall has had so much rain it was cancelled two weeks ago.

    Love the birds and pomegranates mug. I thought you would get the cat one, though. I love the laundry tin as well. There is a tip to know if the socks are your size. You close your fist and wrap around it the socks, from the toes end to the heel end. If both ends meet, it's your size.

  • @clarehartland150

    I guessed the socks, laundry and mug, I don't know how I didn't see the bottle cover though😎 Seeing your board game reminded me of going to the tv studio to watch 3-2-1 Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin being made. 1979/80 I think. Went with two of my RAF pals...come the part where Ted says "and I'll see you after this break..." My pal Maureen declares "What a swiz..." ????? "well" she said "where's the adverts??"🤔😳🥴😂😂

    I'm a sucker for those large sea shells--they're gorgeous and at a great price--and the flowers look very authentic with that lovely deep color.

    @Signe-p3m 9 месяцев назад +1

    I'm glad you got the Shells - the helmet and the abalone shell. I've collected shells my whole life. They used to be common and cheap but lately have become very expensive here in the US and also hard to find nice ones. You got some beauties there.

  • @dottieland7061
    @dottieland7061 9 месяцев назад

    You did really well. When I come the UK I always pop to one and I have a budget as well due to space in my suitcase. But sadly the one I go to is full of dealers now so it’s no longer fun. My mum said it’s so bad that not many people go now. I love shells but my kids have a bad habit of dropping of dropping and smashing them.

    LOL I would remove the Catch Phrase Game and keep the flowers. Really good finds, the shells were lovely. I think I have watched your videos now long enough to spot at Car Boot Sales what you are going to buy ha ha - LOVELY video as always, do keep them coming Mr C - LOVE the wooden pieces you have on the table at the side of you, really nice. x

    @jillbaker988 9 месяцев назад +1

    So browsing before watching the purchases I thought if I were there I would buy… the Laundry Tin ❤ the lavender sprigs 💜 and the William Morris mug 💙 great choices!!! I would definitely lose the bottle cover 😂😂😂 great vlog as always. Love a car boot challenge!!

  • @rachieshaulsandthings
    @rachieshaulsandthings 9 месяцев назад

    Still yet to go there again as haven't been since last year 🙈i would have probably bought the vintage looking rag doll to add to our doll collection lol so let me know if u spot anymore porcelain dolls 👍 And I wouldn't have included the price to get in the boot sale with the challenge, id just include the items but great haul, the catch phrase game looks good 👍

  • @nicolajayne1594
    @nicolajayne1594 9 месяцев назад

    You've got some lovely things most of which I guessed correctly. (A new record for me as I've been hit and miss at guessing your buys so far!) My guesses were the socks, the laundry container, the shells and the Catchphrase game. I enjoy watching Catchphrase too. I've watched it since the days Roy Walker presented it. I always guess and shout at the TV when the answer is glaringly obvious but nobody's getting it 😂 The pink bottle cover will be great for a good bottle of wine or fizz as a birthday or Christmas gift

  • @janiceburgess5906
    @janiceburgess5906 9 месяцев назад

    I’m not into board games so it would be an easy choice for me to decide what to ditch, and, the pink bottle cover seemed so random. There lavender looks realistic and will cheer up any space. I really enjoy your car boot trips.

  • @jorobinson8835
    @jorobinson8835 9 месяцев назад +1

    My fave are the shells/laundry tin. Would've ditched the bottle cover 😊

    @bonniewright7169 9 месяцев назад

    Oh you blew the budget🙄😂I probably would have haggled more on the socks. The lavender is a great little buy. You could bunch them together - tie stems with raffia and hang upside down from top of your dresser - gives a real Country kitchen look! Thank you for sharing ❤️

    Oh my gosh, I so knew that the mugs were William Morris! 🎉🎉 i immediately thought … hmmm looks like William Morris fabrics. 😂
    Very nice little haul. I didn’t get any right. Thought you would get the mug with the kitties 🐈‍⬛ but you didn’t get that one. So difficult to keep to a budget because car boot sales are like treasure hunting 😊.

  • @annalevermore7857

    @christinabrooks5991 9 месяцев назад +1

    Mr C. Fun challenge. I think the socks were a bargain and the mug. I am afraid I would have to ditch the pink bottle bag!
    The lavender looks such a nice quality. X

  • @lisachild6098
    @lisachild6098 9 месяцев назад +3

    Love the shells - they would be so expensive in a dept store or a boujee boutique shop. You did so well - some grt items. You cannot ditch Stephen Mulhern - we love the Mulhern - always makes us laugh when he is on tv.

  • @janinedevilliers510
    @janinedevilliers510 9 месяцев назад +1

    The laundry tin and scoop is my favorite, for the price. I like everything you bought, but if I had to leave anything it would be the pink sequin bottle cover and the game. 😅
    One game I do enjoy with the right people is Pictionary. 😂
    You shouldn't add your entrance fee into the budget.😅
    I think you did very well with 20 odd pounds. The laundry tin new would have set you back.
    The big shell is stunning. Good find Mr C. 🎉🎉

  • @jilllawrence5174

    @jeansmith3367 9 месяцев назад

    My favourite was the laundry tin, also liked the Lavender. I spotted the game and thought that would be fun but was surprised you bought it! Really don't know if I would have paid the money for the shells but they are lovely. Socks and mug are very you! I think all in all you got some really good prices x

  • @lully381
    @lully381 9 месяцев назад

    You didn't buy the Lidl trainers???? I guessed a couple of items you would buy, the laundry tin, the shells both a good barg. I love the CD socks, and if pushed I would ditch the game rather than the lavendar plants, although the game could be fun. Thanks for this weeks vlog, it was a lot of fun playing the guessing game of keeping it to just £20. Myself I'd take £50 and see how much I didn't spend, how about that for a game?

  • @TorchTaleMiniatures
    @TorchTaleMiniatures 9 месяцев назад +1

    So many vintage and quirky things, the Heineken tray and Dachshund picture among many more items would have been coming home with me. You got some good things, mug was my favourite, bottle holder may have had to stay at the bootfair👍🏻😀

  • @flonotflow
    @flonotflow 9 месяцев назад

    I was glad to see you picked up the Dior socks, I really liked those! Another challenge idea is to set your amount, say $20 with the difference to be donated to a charity. As far as what I would have put back--neither of the items you suggested, it would have been the laundry tin for me. Love seeing what you get.

  • @danicacharles4221

  • @denisemeredith2436
    @denisemeredith2436 9 месяцев назад +5

    Iwan, you didnt do too badly. Personally, I wouldnt count the entrance fee as part of the spends but that is me. I thought you would buy the laundry bin because it matched your kitchen.
    I would remove the shells because I think you paid too much for them and could perhaps have asked for his best price then walked away and left them and would have gone back during a second or even third mooch around.

  • @deniseowen9424
    @deniseowen9424 9 месяцев назад +1

    I loved the patterned furry jacket i saw hanging up. You did well. I went to B+M for those cat laser toys, and they had reduced them to 10p...i said "thank you Mr C", and grabbed two, one for each cat, and they especially loved the ball included. I have a smaller version of the laundry tin, but yours seems it could be older. 😻🐱🖊
