Alas it wasn't ready for last Sunday's Car Boot which thankfully, due to the terrible weather, was undercover and Gav the son-in-law was ace again by letting us use his car (Thanks Gav).
Nice car shame about the bill (turns out the water pump had seized which lead to the timing belt snapping, luckily I was virtually at a halt and that saved it from being a much bigger problem.)
We spotted a new creature that seems to hover around Car Boot sales called the Lesser Spotted eBay gatherer. This was in the form of a certain young woman who scooted from stall to stall with ever increasingly larger plastic bags of shoes and clothes.
We were reliably informed that these items later went on eBay at much inflated prices, what some people will do to make money, like doing Car Boot sales LOL.
The cash raised certainly helped after the big bill so now it's all go for organizing the storage of what we intend to keep for later life.
Some of the larger items have departed like the spare double bed so the house is starting to look quite bare. Kay's bitting her fingernails to the bone as things are not moving fast enough for her, I do try to remind her that we have lots more clutter to get rid of so its more Car boot sales yet.
Today we are supposed to be exchanging contracts but it looks as if there is a slight hold up on the buyers side (solicitors take their time) so we hope to hear more in the week.
More anon
