i took my 2 year old, my hubby and dragged the MIL out at 10am to go to a jumble sale and snaffle all the bargains today. looking for a bigger slide for the garden and heard they were selling outdoor toys so wanted to be early just in case.
Hence being so early its not til next saturday lol at me!

We have 3 big booty's to go to - it's the highlight of mine and OH's week!
Will be up at 6am so can't wait! :j:j:j

I have been buying lots of baby things but after reading through this thread have a few ideas of what make some money if I can see it!

I am pretty sure ours will be called off as its raining very heavily outside boooo

^!£$&

Two weeks of cancelled bootfairs for us now due to the weather, am getting withdrawal symptoms!!

after arriving at 6.40am we found our 1st car boot had changed the rules so no buyers can get in until all sellers are parked up. Used to just be a free for all but due to 'health and safety' theyy changed it - didn't get in until 7.40am :mad:

Went to 2 boot sales and for £4 I got
10 items of baby clothes
5 x baby vests
4 x baby booties
5 x baby hats
1 x pair of baby shoes

Bargains though were a brand new pair of baby shoes still with tags on £4.50 - she wanted 20p!

And a new Annabel Karmel Baby food grinder for £1.50 - normal price £8

I bought a 1970's Peanuts book for 50p (£10+ on Amazon)
And a really nice WMF EP Bowl for £3 (worth £30+)

Problem!!

After I got home I noticed a Postcode and house number written on the back of the bowl in that security marker ink.

Address is no where near me.

Should I suspect this has been stolen?

help?

P.S no car boots for me after listening to the rain all night I figured they would all be waterlogged and slept in!

Our local rubbish one was on today even though all the others were called off so I decided to give it a try. Didn't get much at all and got drenched when the heavens opened

Too wet today to go booting ... might try and do some ironing / pricing for a sale one ... have got lots around that should go.

Can someone remind me - are you allowed to sell DVD's still (legally I mean!) I see them there all the time, but I'm sure the copyright thing says you can't ... can you keep me right.

You can sell them as long as they are real and not copies ceebeeby
