Hasil Rembatan

This morning we went to a carboot sale in Chelford (one of the biggest in Manchester). Other than books, I wanted to search for a nice small bedside lamp and maybe a wall art for our living room. And we wanted to see if we can get a good travel system for the baby.

Tiga2 benda tu tak dapat ok...

But look what we got instead...

A set of 48 Disney books for just £7.50!!!






Vavavah!!! Hebat hasil rembatan hari ni (eh lupa pulak..Alhamdulillahh...)..actually the seller's price was 20 pence each (so should be £9.60) but after negotiations we manage to agree at £7.50..(mula2 tawar £5 je hahaha kesian seller tu dahla buku Disney)

Then I met a lady who sold me her 2 Nigella Lawson's cookbooks (Nigella Bites and How To Be A Domestic Goddess) for 50pence each! I felt like screaming (karang org ingat meroyan pulak) because I really like Nigella (and I can't believe the price). It is actually difficult to find new cookbooks by chefs like Nigella, Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay at carboot sales, probably because people treasure them. Usually what you find is old recipe books (by unknown authors).

The paper cover with Nigella's picture that wrap the hardcovers of the books that I bought were missing, so probably that is why I got it for just 50p.




She's gorgeous...



And I think her recipes are quite simple and easy to follow, that's why I like her (nampak sedapnyaa semua kek2 dia)







So...what else..

Mynie..adakah kau telah baca doa supaya aku jumpa buku Jamie Oliver kau?

Ta daaaa....



Memangla rezeki kau...




Tapi bulan July baru mak aku balik Malaysia so masa tu baru kau dapat hehehe
Kalau nak pos buku2 ni memang berat...


I looked through one of J. Oliver's book and I found one of his shopping tips "When shopping, remember..a stylish shopping trolley is important!" (apa ke jadahnya si jamie ni???)

goodness gracious me! (ala-ala enid blyton punya character, kalau tak silap)

*tergolek tgk buku grolier dpt murah

sebab kitorang memang asyik nak terbeli grolier tuh tapi asyik tak jadi

itupun korang nak bargain lagi...hehe

apesal seller tuh jual murah gile ye...buku nigella tuh.

jual le 2 pound each ke (mesti awak beli jugak kan)

Mamaboyz said...

kat rumah baru perasan tu grolier..

dulu kita pun hampir nak terbeli grolier siap nak pakai credit card (mesti terperanjat org2 putih ni kalau tau org msia beli buku ribu2)

hahaha kitorang mmg kaki tawar menawar, kalau kurang 50p pun nanti boleh beli buku lain kan

maybe buku nigella tu bukan dia punya, ada org suruh jualkan ke, dia memang nak get rid of it kot
