Getting used to the Car Boot sales & Keeping our fingers crossed.

Another successful Car Boot sale last Sunday, due in part to the fantastic sunny weather we had and this has helped a bit to lessen the financial damage done by the snapped timing belt. We hope to pick up our car this week from the repair man so with luck it will be available for this coming Sundays Car Boot sale which is now undercover in the town centre car park.
It can be quite enlightening this Car Boot thing and I defiantly met the next Dell Boy...
A young man of between eleven and thirteen years took a shine to a ABS rowing machine exerciser that I had for sale for five pounds.
'Ere mate how much for that?' he asked.
'Five pounds.' says I.
'Tell you what I'll give you three pounds fifty pence,' says he.
'Nope,' I replied. 'Five pounds.'
'Go on,' says he. 'Three fifty.'
'Look if your so desperate,' says I. 'Four pounds.'
'Go on,' he replies. 'Three fifty.'
After haggling for for what seemed like ages I dug in my heels.
'No it's four pounds or no deal.'
'I'll be back in a mo,' says he and disappears to return with his grandmother.
'Go on,' says his grandmother. 'Let the lad have it for three fifty.'
'Absolutely not,' says I. 'He's already knocked me down from a fiver.'
'Here,' she says handing the lad fifty pence.
'OK,' he says. 'Four pounds it is,' and off he goes happy as Larry
'Oy!' I shouted after him. 'Remember me when you make your first million.'
Don't you just love em.








Sold some other bits and bobs in the week so we keep on looking on the bright side and hoping that everything will pan out OK in the end.
We have contacted Freedom motor homes in Gloucester and will be paying them our first visit to look over some of their RV's as we hope to have one ordered before Christmas (depending on who offers the right RV at the right price of course) to avoid the rise in the dreaded VAT.






We have put our Pegasus 534 caravan up for sale.

It's all going to be in the timing now as we wait too see if our storage unit is going to be available at the end of this month, so we can start moving some items out of the house.
Will the Caravan be sold before I need to put it in storage?
It's keep our fingers crossed time and hope that all falls into place and that we don't have any more mishaps.
