Anyway! I've been thinking about doing a regular car boot with my brother in law and have came to the conclusion that a food stall would go down quite well.

Not sure if you know this (so sorry if you already do, lol) but selling food is subject to all sorts of rules and regs. Phone your local council who will tell you what's required. (It may differ from area to area, I'm not sure.)

Never post often on but read avidly on this thread, sorry to read your news cake, not made anything recently as I have been struggling, but holidays are needing paid in 8 weeks, so I am turning to here for inspiration. I am off to order seeds so I can get things planted and aim for selling them the first week in May, will order Tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, runner beans, in the flowering plant line I will order lobelia, alyssum, asters, sweet peas - if anyone can think of any more that are good sellers please let me know. I have 3 trouser suits in the wardrobe with labels on - which I will get onto ebay hopefully today if I get my butt in gear - hopefully get £25 for each of them.
Love the crochet flowers, how about sewing them together, line them with matching material, crochet a long band for the strap and make lovely handbags, - just another thought!
Good luck to everyone for this week

Cake - sorry to hear your news :-( Big hugs x

MMTWGR - Don't worry that you have turned this into relate, it's great we can all have a moan / cry, it certainly helps me x

I went to car boot this morning and bought a Fisher price house with blocks for 50p. Going to give it a scrub and get it on ebay later along with my other bits and bobs. Had another sale today as well.

Really liking the crochet Amber, I really want to learn to knit but not sure how, was going to buy a kit or something unless anyone has any advice please?

Truly, I like your business idea, maybe get in with hotelsetc hosting wedding so you can do the favours on the tables? Or google local wedding planners, the season is coming up.

My commitments for next week please hales are:
Buy wholesale stock i have been putting off buying
Do posters / cards for selling on ebay and put in shop / school
Do accounts for my body shop business
Start sorting car boot stuff out
Have a look at dooyoo
Traul charity shops and follow instincts!

Thanks

Cake - sorry to hear about your uncle x

Suzy - how about courgettes and peppers in the edible line and sunflowers and geraniums (pelargoniums) for flowering plants?

Natnat - there's a knitting thread on MSE that should point you in the right direction, there's also loads of tutorials online.

Sold a babygrow on Ebay for £2.20 today. Only item to sell :mad:

Done two mystery shops and OMG they were horrendous. One guy was picking his nose in full veiw of customers - so gross.

Staying in for Valentines day as OH has decided we can't afford to go out (he' learning at last:j) so he's cooking instead :rotfl:. The pound store has some okish valentines stuff in if anyone is doing hampers? Furry handcuffs and dice etc. So at least im saving some cash by staying in next weekend..

Done one MS report, off to do the other now..


ETA : cakeordeath, very sorry to hear about your news. My OHs uncle died just before Christmas and it hit him hard.

Daisy - think you are right, they aren't dirty enough lol! Wondering about pulling them as don't really want to sell them for 99p if I can increase there value by covering them in mud and relisting lol!

What does anyone think? I mean can you stop a listing that has less than 2 hours left, but has no bids?

hi folks, what a pig of weekend seem to take one step forward and two back - had hoped to get upto date with my "commitments" but everything else seems to be getting in the way. lost my purse (thankfuly found now!), not that there was any money in it - but its the cards, driving licence, appointments etc - all that junk i keep saying i need that i was worried about.

ok sorry for the moan - I WILL NOT BE BEATEN! will get moving now as if i dont get my commitments done feel as though i'm letting not just me down but all of us????/

cheers - chin up


nikki - ebay seems worse this month than last, have only made £22 this month so far
