    Good luck with the car boot. Be prepared to virtually give some stuff away people are only willing to pay 50p or a £1 and the items you think will sell easily don't and things that you may think is tat sell's!! we are having the weekend off from the car boot planning to do 2 next week.

    Let us know how you get on

  • Thanks All

    Bank now, but of a disaster as the car boot we planned to do was cancelled so went to another one which wasn't very busy. Shared pitch with 2 other mums from our village so 2.40 each for the pitch. Although it was dead we each made £30 profit so not bad considering. CS run on way back so dumped a load of stuff there too. I have some other stuff to sort through and will CS that too.

    £15 each to extension and camper van funds and the other change to the holiday fund. BF brought coffee and I didn't look round do spent no money!

    CT really pleased to hear your news. Fabulous I couldn't be more pleased for you. I actually did s little whoop out loud when I read it! :)

    Newgirly you deserve a lie in, enjoy it! I hope reading my diary didn't send you back to sleep! Any feedback on blog is appreciated. I need to spend a but of time on it, I have about 15 part written posts to finish!

    In MSE news I renegotiated with sky 40% off for six months do added sky for one month, will cancel that later today. The lady at Sky told be a top tip that they often give movies free for 3 months at Christmas if you call then with no obligation. Worth remembering :)

  • Watched the game and sky sports was then cancelled online. Will get the rest of the month included and cost about £10 all in all. have my 40% off for 6 months that I negotiated whilst adding sky sports so will save about £40 in the end!

    The downside was my team were thrashed :( the plus side is we're getting our money's worth by watching another (much better) game :)

    Made dark choc and sultana flapjacks and they are smelling lovely from the oven. I have bread in too so it's driving us mad the smells!

    Wrote a blog post, might write a flapjack recipe one too :)
