Hi, yesterday we did a carboot and made £115 (£50 of that was my baba's surplus to requirement pram).
That was enough to pay for the cars MOT today (£40) thankfully, it passed.
Food shopping tommorow (£40 ish)
Takeaway tonight (£15)
Which leaves £20 to put petrol in the car to take the children out somewhere ( We have 3 annual passes for different things) and get them ice creams.
Plus came home with only 3 full boxes of stuff and 6 empty boxes, plus more room in the boot and the children werent carrying a box home like they were there..lol.
hope its nice this weekend as theres plenty more car boot stuff to sell and wont have the children so can really pack the car.
Hopefully I could pay off my small Visa after this weekend.
I feel very pleased with myself that im on the right track.
