Car boot fun!

In all my dizziness, I completely forgot to write about how the kids little car boot sale went. They did really well but it was a long old day, we had to be there for 8am for a 9:30am start. We displayed everything as nicely as possible and then waited for the punters to come flocking. But flock they did not!

It was a slow start to say the least, but after an hour, things really warmed up and at the end of the morning we had made £102.12! They thought this was fantastic but wanted to spend it all immediately at the various other car boot stands. I was a mean mother and refused, is that bad? We spent so much time clearing out the rooms and garage to get rid of things, I couldn’t bear to come home with more junk, I mean toys!

They did get an ice cream though for all their efforts so I wasn’t the mean mummy in the end-hurrah! It was a great day all in all and really good for getting everyone involved in a house de-clutter.

Before the bunting went up!
