    I managed to do 34 listings yesterday :T :T I sold one item overnight so that is in the post today. Two other items listed are already selling too.

    I'm going to have to invest in some new work clothes for the new project. It will require proper business wear rather than the smart casual we have in the office. It also might mean I have to pay out for more childcare depending on whether I am needed on the days I've booked off for the summer holidays, or on Thursdays. So it could get expensive :( But will be worthwhile anyway :)

    Plans for the weekend involve lots of car booting :D Hopefully clear some stuff and then if we manage a couple, we'll go through the lot and send some off to charity.

    We did ok at the car boot sale yesterday, it was packed! We never sell so much when it's so big, so it wasn't a surprise. We did manage to clear some though so it all counts :T

    Went to have a look around this morning and it was very busy again. I did buy a few bits for the kids, but nothing major.

    Little miss got up from her nap and vomited everywhere :( She seems fine, so I'm hoping it was just her cough. I don't think we will be selling tomorrow just in case, might go and have a look though if she seems ok.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

    Hope little miss is okay and it was just a one off. Maybe the heat too!
