    I'm giddy cos we're planning on doing 2 boots bank holiday weekend :D

    I'm going to sort all the stuff out this weekend, cos we're going down to the caravan-where all the stuff is.

    Going to do some prices as well. :D

    £2.00 each should be a reasonable amount to expect.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    Regarding my earlier post about the carboot i was gonna do on the 27th, well it went ahead and what a great day to stand a carboot, i made £57 and sold nearly everthing, people went mad for my clothes at £1 a piece and sold quite alot of big stuff, fire guard cot rail, so all in all a great day, just waiting now for the last few things to finish on ebay and should be nearly £100 for a load of junk:j :j :j :j

    I've been going to car boots for the past few weeks now and yes it is very worth it...waiting for people like me to come along and buy baby stuff. :D

    Just make sure you give it a good clean-the amount of stuff I've walked away from because of all the dried food ingrained in straps which would have come out if they'd been given a good clean.
