    My sister does bootfairs all the time with my nephews old toys.

    I remember one we did about 4 years ago. I went out drinking the night before with my brother and her husband and we were sooooo drunk. I got home about 3/4am, got to bed and got up at 5.30, went to the bootfair and i was still drunk.

    Loads of people thought it was hilarious, and so did i, until it got to about 10am and i started to sober up! :rotfl: :rolleyes:
    Debt: just my mortgage :D

    Doing a carboot drunk, sounds like fun, i could probably handle that. I'm useless when it comes to carboot sales. I'm not a very good sales person, so i never really end up selling a great deal. I love doing them with my OH as he's great at selling rubbish to folk.

    Like me Jen.

    I still like that house i found yesterday, and my flat is feeling even smaller today...:confused: Ah well... only a few months to go.

    I have just been listening to an old album and it brings back some weird old memories. Strange how music does that!

    I love listening to old music on Itunes. I've got 4,000 odd songs on Itunes at the moment, i put if on shuffle and it started playing songs from years ago, it was great!!! I would normally never think to play old music, i always think its old so shouldn't be listened too anymore, how wrong was i.

    Just been going through the discount codes/freebies boards, I have found loads of bargains. Lovin' it. Printed off lots of money saving vouchers too. Also, Glamour are giving away a free benefit lipgloss with their magazine this month, lipgloss is worth £13, magazine only costs £2. I think i'll be buying that magazine tomorrow :-), also got a few Boots No7 vouchers, £5 off.

    I have just done the Betfair offer through Quidco. Deposit £10 and you get £30 back. I happily took up that offer as the Euro 2008 starts this weekend, and i love footie so just had fun spending £10 betting on tomorrows matches :j , fingers crossed i win too, that would just be an added bonus.

    Come on Portugal - come on Ronaldo :D

    I now have £50 validated on Quidco, and another £70 tracked on Quidco :j
