The Car Boot Sale Experience

Its been a busy couple of weeks, I can't believe how much there is to do. I thought moving house was stressful but this is like moving house, starting a new job, preparing for a holiday, plus a whole lot more and I'm sure I'll forget something.

I decided to do a car boot sale last week to get rid of some of some of the clutter. What an experience that was. I filled the car on Saturday, really filled it there wasn't space for another thing. When I was putting things in I kept thinking no one will want this but I'll take it anyway...I was surprised what people bought!

So I set my alarm for 4.30 am on Sunday morning, a time I didn't think existed on Sunday! And set off to Halifax, arrived there about 5.15 and it was almost full at that time. I struggled to find a space for the car, thanks to Darren's parking skills we managed to squeeze in and trading began. There was about 10 people waiting as I emptied the car, grabbing things as soon as I put them down...a bit scarey I thought. Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day and business was brisk. So seven hours on after much haggling I packed the few things I still had left and set off back home £135 richer! If you are doing a car boot sale I can definitely recommend the one at Halifax loads of people go to it - but get there early.

So the garage is much emptier now and the sledge has gone! But there is still so much to do, I wish I could slow time down a little!

I woke up at about 4 this morning worrying! I'm not sure what was worrying me most all the things still to do or that Jodie has been eaten by a lion. Jodie and her husband Richard went to Kenya on Thursday on safari. Whenever she goes anywhere she always sends a text to tell me she's got there, and that she's enjoying a cocktail in the sun! Anyway I haven't heard anything from her yet I'm hoping that's because she can't get a phone signal and not that she's been eaten by a lion!
