Boot sale Mothers Day...Busy or quiet?

Hi all

Hubby was planning on doing a boot sale Sunday, but I had forgotton it was Mother's day. He thinks it will be busy as people will go out, but i'm not so sure. I don't want to waste the pitch money or my Mothers day for nothing.

Next week they are changing his company car from an estate to a smaller car which is another reason he would rather do it this weekend.

What do you think guys?

    Hi zippy

    I have the same dilemma and have decided to go for it - maybe there are lots of mothers who will want to go to a boot sale for their Mothers' Day treat!

    snap! I have to do it really as the pile in our bedroom is blocking access to the wardrobe. Let's hope the buyers are out in force. I'll think of you as I get up at six.....
