Well busy weekend for me I decided to do a couple of boot fairs to earn some spending money for me for the China Trek. Saturday saw me in the loft sorting out all the gear I didn't want I also priced up my goods and packed up my car for an early start on Sunday, sounds like an easy job but it took me nearly all day!
On Sunday I did the boot fair at Brookland, James also managed to come along to lend a hand, although I'm sure he came along for the burger stall! I told him he would need to pay for his food out of his own pocket not my profits! We had a really good day I made about £45 which was good as all my stuff was priced around 50p & £1. I really enjoy doing boot fairs, I know thats sad but its like having your own shop and your in charge! Also what you think is crap and old toot always manages to sell and I sold about half my stuff. So after a sucessful day I thought as my car was already packed up I might as well do another on Bank Holiday Monday. I know there was another booty being held at Great Chart cricket club so I thought if I wake up and the weather is good I will do it. So off we went again Monday morning setting off at 6.30am, James joined me again bless him it was his birthday and he spent the morning in a field selling all our bits and bobs. He was well happy though when the old bbq started up but again he wanted to take the money for his burger out of the profits well I said no & he had to pay for it out of his birthday money! We both had a good day and made £47.50, I didn't have much stock left over what I did have I bagged up for the charity shop. So we are both knackered but I think it was well worth it.


Back to work today, this week is the last week of the school holidays and I did Pig Racing today and I would like to say a big thank you to all those kind people that donated to our charity.


Thats all for now folks x
