Selling from the front gate

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 :D & 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

    Well, Sir Alan Sugar started out of the back of an old van - so you may have a multi millionaire in training! All power to his elbow and well done for having the gumption to have a go.

    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 granddaughter :(
