Ds room is 95% done, school uniform labelled and put away :T I bought him a new water bottle this morning in tescos which was the last bit I needed to get, so he is now fully ready to go back to school
Car is loaded up ready for the morning, I'm taking ds old bed with me too, the mattress went to the tip but the actual frame is still decent, its an IKEA one and is extendable so should hopefully suit someoneI also have an old plastic railway of ds's, the rest of my stuff is 75% magazines and kids books. I have a set of 50 Thomas the Tank Engine books and lots of Mr Men books and other classics such as hungry caterpillar / going on a bear hunt / guess how much I love you etc etc ... We'll see how it goes, I'm not expecting to make a fortune but I need the space in the flat / garage and its all stuff thats either not worth putting on ebay or is too heavy (books) to make ebay worthwhile.
I still need to hunt around for some carrier bags and some change for the morning, but other than that I'm ready to go, hopefully a few more pennies heading towards the mortgage pot soonMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Bah, I got up early for the car boot sale, it was a slow start but things started picking up around 9, then at 10 the heavens opened
Everyone scrambled to pack up but not before most things had got thoroughly soaked :cool: So I came home early, having only made £27 profit and then proceeded to reverse into my garage and smash a brake light :mad: Hmm, no idea how much they cost to fix but I'm not impressed :cool:
So, the rest of today involves getting other bits on ebay, and then crouchy is coming over tonight for dinnerMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000
