Keyboard/piano and drums......and some guitar ones thrown in for good measure! I can't afford to send him for lessons and he gets so far working out the keys himself from listening to tracks but he has been asking for the books. Went into a few shops yesterday and the cheapest I could find locally were £14.99 (eekk!).

And thanks, office based work is much more my area as is customer services sort of thing...maybe it will turn out the ECDL wasn't a waste of time!

ebay is good - we've bought various off there for DDs - or freecycle might turn up trumps.

It's usually a popular boot sale but there just wasn't the people this time around, in fact there were less people actually doing the boot sale.

Do you think it could be a World Cup effect? I've been out to get my weekly shop and there weren't as many people out as usual.

Our day was more trips to the storage facility and lunch.

This afternoon, ts clearing up some of the mess created by packing.

we have loads of books to get rid of...nothing good. Trying to decide whether to plan a car boot visit (I've never done this and I'm really keen too....should have some time in August) or wether to just get rid of it at this village fete....

Let me know - we're planning on car booting, despite OH saying never again! - but no point if there's no-one there...

We do a car boot, every few weeks.The one we stand at is on a Wednesday. We have had some really good days. 2 weeks ago, we got £181, thanks to hubby having a good clear out in the garage and shed.

I only see adverts for ones on Sunday: if Ifound a wednesday one it would be great. While I realise not as many people might be able to go to buy on a wednesday the sundays are an issue because DH's weekends are sort of precious; I'd be happy to go alone.

Cats are protesting: they are on the roof and won't come in.

How much does one usually get for paperbacks at a car boot sale? 20p? and dvds? DH hs an ancient ''gameboy'' with some games...would any one buy that?

Look on ebay to see what the gameboy would fetch. Sometimes games no longer in production are sought after and can fetch more than they originally cost.

We see a lot of books and DVD's for sale.20p is roughly the going rate for a paperback.Some sell them at 6 for a £1. With DVD's, we find that you have to practically give them away, to save bringing them back home.
