    Oh god. One of the effects of this whole Groundhog Day scenario is that there have ben many occasions where I've had to ask myself if I've brushed my hair, let alone washed it!

    Bou, I've just heard Gloucester car boot is moving to Ross cattle market so into your patch!. I thought they already had an established CB at Ross so they won't be pleased unless it's run by the same company. Sadly just too far for me though as it's another 18 miles on the other side of Gloucester.
    Apparently Gloucester City Council pulled the lease on the Hempstead site with two days notice. I wonder if they weren't in agreement that is should reopen so soon.

    Some of ours are supposed to be reopening. I'm more sanguine about going round an open air one than I am about a supermarket.

    I have heard great things about Gloucester Car Boot...never been! That is exciting...the CB at Ross is usually full of traders which is fine but I like old crap for pennies

    Just told Mr.Bou and he's impressed you knew this!

    I cannot wait to go to a booty,been almost a year. Still don't think it's safe though even if there were one so hope it's not for a bit longer!
    Oh man this is CITIN!!!

    Oh goodness....I NEED BOOTAGES

    ...I am stoked you thought of me,Miss @KSW ... thank you <3

    And thank goodness for Mr Bou...my hair is bleached to defff and dry but Mr. Bou has a long mane so will be appropriating some of his natural oils. Thanks Boi Bou!


    GURLS I WAS IN A BOX OF MINE last night and I think I found some Sapphiret but it's ruined :(
    I'm not entirely sure what it is, it has some foil on the back, it's got all sorts of rubbages as they are flat beads,eight of 'em but the foil is coming off.
    They are pretty much effed :'(
    I didn't do it. I don't even remember seeing them before
    Got a quick iPod pic...cannot get the fire it has. It as a veil . If you think it's worth taking pics I'll try and get better ones with my cam xxx

    Maybe so-called dragon's breath? Foil coming off backs does not bode well. :(

    Hello Cuz xxxx
    They are ruined, foil coming off,what a shame xx

    I have a small dragon breath brooch,it's different colours, it's blue with a red veil ( I think, haven't seen it for years)...this is turquoise with a brownish flash of colour..would be more apparent if they weren't ruined :( xxx
    Pretty sure it's Sapphiret butI'd 100 trust your judgement over mine...I'll try and get a pic with my cam. Hate using iPods for pics xxx

    I thought I might be seeing red that had dulled down, but blue with brown does sound more like saphiret. Every so often I come across something I didn't know I had & have no memory of acquiring. Never sure if I'm pleased or freaked out.

    Haha this is why we are Cuz'es. I am not sure if I am thrilled-yet-sad because THIS IS RUINED or plainly freaked out. I have been looking for Sapphiret & Dragon's Breath since I read about it on the old eBay Boards and imagine the utter shock when I found eight ( RUINED) pieces of it with no remembrance. I SHOULD remember that...other things maybe,but .... not this :O

    It was meant to start tomorrow but someone from the truck stop put a protest about it so it’s Sunday’s only. They have a Facebook page. What day is the usual Ross CB?. Is it in the cattle market?. Maybe they are amalgamating them?.
    Looks like the examples I’ve seen of Saphiret but WDIK so definitely don’t take my word for it. Is the blue in the glass or is it the foil that giving it its hue?. Obviously it would be wonderful if they were perfect but from what I’ve seen they still go for really good price even in bits!. I have lots of things I’ve forgotten I’d even got but I don’t think I’d have forgotten these!.

    It's the glass itself that gives the colour, the foiil accentuates it.

    Just want to say thank you to all of you...got a bit over 'cited ( wot...ME?!) so was a bit allll over the place . @KSW ... Mrs. B answered your question much better than I could have ... I wish you were closer so I could show them to you in the flesh!( I am still mega impressed you knew more about MY local car boot than I did! And am thrilled you thought of me <3 xx)
    Now I know the foil isn't vitally important ( thank you again Mrs B X) Imma be less scared of handling them. I'm going to still be careful, but I've put them away somewhere in one of my boxes and they probably won't be seen again for a couple of years. (I may have another look at them now but I panicked a bit, didn't want to make the damage worse but I feel better about it now I know it's not deathly to lose more foil )

    ( I've just delved even deeper and found more interesting stuff. Are you all fed up of my Stuffs? Or...shall I show more? Found a small brooch with a dragon on and looks like gold to *me* and doesn't smell of brass but we know ... I know Nothing xx )

    Friends...thank you <3
