    How do you find car boot sales? And if you have stuff to sell, do you just show up or do you have to book a place, pay a fee maybe... ???

    Now there's a good question! I'll have a look around and see if there's a thread somewhere I can point you to.

    Edit: I did a search on "car boot sale" and got this result

    If you contact the poster in the first result they might be willing and able to help you.

    I am trying so hard to simplify my life and things around me. I am trying to live by the motto, an organized house, an organised mind. It works for me.

    D'ya wanna come and organise mine then please ;)


    I have so much clutter and stuff I could sell that I just don't know where to start with it all. Car boots are out unfortunately with me not being able to get out, and I've lost faith with Ebay a bit, not to mention it would mean DS taking everything to the PO, so not sure what else to do with it all :o

    As I say, I think it's not about not spending money it's about using your money well.

    You know, I could have sworn thats what I said :p

    And to quote Martin from the main site:

    Money Saving is about cutting bills not cutting back. It's about being a sassy consumer.

    Now is the best time to advertise you junk in the local rag. Try and list it in the car boot section. I have gone through everyones wardrobes, sold every bit of junk. Wardrobes are easy to get into now, unplayed with toys have either been binned or sold as a job lot.

    Ive made about £50 in the last month from all the junk i accumulated over the winter.
