A local nursey closed down and sold every thing off. Most of it was crap and not worth a penny but people were bidding stuipid amounts of money on it, a box of old crayons and pencils went for £20 and really tatty cupboards were going for £50. Anyway I managed to get a low table which is about 1.5m long for £10(checked in catalouge and it is £150). A really massive water tray on a stand for £38 and when I collected it there was a smaller hexagon one on a stand with it (which I gave to my friend) and a sand tray with no stand and a small table. Then i bought 2 tin watering cans for £5. so Im really chuffed with my bargains.

I am after one of these - they retail at about £100 - £120.

If you decide you dont need it or use it, give me first refusal!!!:blush: Pretty please!!!!

Well done on your bargains!

I saw it advertised in the local paper and would have liked to have gone.

Enjoy your new purchases!

I've got one of those (bought from a playgroup that was closing down), it's great and so useful

You did really well - got some great stuff for the money :thumbsup:

I used to love auctions, you know the antique type. Old tat my husband calls it.

But i used to love coming home with a piece that had loads of history behind it. House is full up now so i cannot fit any more in.:)
