First Jumble

 Somewhat to my surprise there was the first jumble of the year yesterday , i debated a bit then thought sod it , if i died from going to a jumble it would be a fitting epitaph and i needed cat food  and a couple of other bits , so thats the trundle out for the week , ive lost track of the days and time at the moment , trying not to be on the puter so much .  Typing is aggravating the pain in my arms , so ive discovered the joy of watching weird you tube video's  , mud larking and metal detecting this week..lol . Anyway back to the jumble , it was heaving i bought a few bits , yet another denim dress , guess they were a big girl fashion item that didnt catch on . Covered far to much flesh i think , but theyre ideal for pottering around at home , hardwearing and easily repaired when i do something dumb . A huge bag of clothes pegs which had a load of Lakeland duvet clips which are great when your washing can blow down the fen most of the year . Yet another cross stitch kit , posh make poppy fairy . The man seemed surprised when i wanted a pile of those beige fabric shopping bags with designs printed on , i use them as donate bags , just because you cant afford carrier bags these days and theyre easy to carry . This jumble was somewhat epic as they had loads of tied up lucky dip huge bags for £1 all clothing they said they didnt want to store donations all winter because they get damp and smelly which seems like a good reason . The buy to sell ebayers were buying 10 sacks at a time , not for me, im not short of fabrics to use at the moment plus im struggling to carry stuff....anyway this afternoons job is catch up on everyone's blogs , youre all leading far more exciting lives than me at the moment ........

  1. That sounds like an epic jumble sale. I haven't been to one in years. I wouldn't be able to resist the bags out of curiosity.
