Sold

Well i managed  two days of carbooting and now im a helpless cripple..lol.. im getting there, but last night was hellish,  i couldnt even turn over in bed without sound effects getting up fpr the loo was interesting to say the least . It took me about 10 goes up and down the garden path to unspasm this morning with a rickety elderly cat helping  . Why this happens is baffling , the girls turned up for both and they did all the lumping and humping and were really useful . We had a  right giggle yesterday , we had the same girl from the one on Saturday next to us on the Sunday , sold a mountain of books from the book mountain at 50p , lots of bad pictures various crap from under the stairs . Loads of plants, i did a big tray of 50p houseplants , then sold garden plants on the Sunday  , gave me a giggle that the same woman bought tons of houseplants , pretends shes not trade then puts them in pretty pots and flogs them for tons of money in her antique booth , she did it last year . I dont mind they cost me virtually nothing , the plants do all the work ..lol  Best laugh is i always have a free box , this week we had 3 boxes one of damaged china , one of books and one of odd crap , one bloke took a bag of 90s map books he was going to use for crafting , various other folks took bits and bobs , but i came back from the loo and the girls were falling about laughing , two pensioners ran off with all the free stuff including the boxes !!!  Bit odd i had to find a new free box..lol.

Im really hoping we dont have to do any more this month , but with the big camping trip looming I need the cash , everything seems to be going on vehicle repairs at the moment

  1. I hope you are all healed from your selling marathon. How funny to see the lady buy your 50p plants and put them in pots for high prices. And the pensioners taking the entire box of free stuff, including the boxes!

  2. It sounds like all life happens at the car boot sales. Hope you did OK.

  3. Fancy taking the box as well!

    It sounds like carbooting is about more than just the selling.
