Hi Karren,

I love doing car boot sales, I'm so gealous! Standing there at 3am (yes! 3AM!) setting up, batering and haggling, being rained on, running out of change, running out of carrier bags and maybe having a sandwich (that you would have brought with you of course) and a coffee from the food van. Then at the end of it all your toil is well rewarded because the house is clearer and your pockets heavier.Finally got around to having a car boot sale, and managed to sell a pile of tat and made £19.40 after paying £8 for the pitch, so have madea pile of jewellery to sell next time to make some cash for the uniform bill, so watch this space!!
