So proud of my Son
He & his friend set up a table outside the front gate earlier today to sell some unwanted toys to raise money to 'do up' a stunt scooter
We are not on a main or busy road so i am astounded at how well the have done £19.30
& still out there!
Thay are only selling small items action figures/mcdonalds toys,teddies etc,
nothing big
plus they have no table fee so it is purely profit
WELL DONE BOYS:T:T

What a great way to get kids some extra cash and learn that they have to give up things to get it!The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter0
