What an action packed, fun filled day we had today!

Rhian and John turned up at CDH with their car loaded to the gills with Booty AND a stray JRT they had saved from wandering around on a busy road. He's a cutie, but no microchip

We set up two cars and two tables together. Thanks to Rhian's aunty we had some quality, quality gear to sell today.



Bern and Caz set up their clothes stall near the entrance and did a roaring trade. Ally and Niamh came to see us with a stash of beautiful bandanas all made in the most funky material. Here is a sweet girl modelling the Wizard of Oz fabric.



Becky, Kirsty and Emma came to see us, and I roped my sister in to help too.



Steve gave us a special 'Buy one, get one for free' deal on the stall, which was most generous as he was turning cars away it was so popular today.

Another of Ally's bandanas!



Most bizarre item today was probably a pair of Thai ladies made from coins (now in a shop in Bargoed)

Still haven't sold that stick Susie, but there was a lot of interest in it today, and it's only a matter of time

So here is Rhi our accountant



Guess what?

We raised £264.13p

........And that doesn't include the money Caz and Bern made. We must have cleared well over 300 quid altogether and we've still got 2 bootloads of booty left over.

Blimey that is a HUGE amount of money!!!! Well done to you all, I hope you are all treating yourselves to a glass of something cold!! x

cor blimey, that's amazing So glad the weather was good for you

Hope Bern and Caz got some pics too ;D

Massive pats on the backs to everyone, the Car Booty Looty Meistermistresses (and Meistermasters)

Mahoosive to everyone who has donated items to keep our 'Shops' stocked with lovely things to sell. As Rach says, we've had some fabulous things gifted, and I know Caz & Bern have put a lot of extra effort into the clothes stall, washing and pressing to make sure we squidge every penny out of the clothing donations.

Time for a little bit of this then

[daffysmum]

Wow ............... well done you guys!

'Myself and my able assistant Bern (Nuggie) joined Rach's Car Boot team this morning at Bessemer selling Friends' clothes donations.

As the sun was shining there was a huge turnout and we raised £99.11 including donations.

PLUS we met a couple of people interested in adopting a dog. I sent one lady to go and see Badger and there was another gentleman who read our board and said he was most probably getting an inheritance and would definitely think about giving some to the our cause. So lets hope he meant it.

All in a all a very good morning. Already lookin forwarding to the next one!

If you have any clothes donations you can take them to the Last Sunday event at Cardiff Dogs Home or PM me and I can arrange collection. As always, all donations are gratefully received.

So Rach's estimate was right- over £300--- Grand total of £363.24 ;D

Fabulous job Caz & Bern - blimmin marvelous day at Bessemer

I do have some clothes for you, lots of new with labels, and mostly larger sizes, 20, 22, 24, some of them very good labels too! Do you want me to bring them to the Last Sunday? Are you going to the Street Collection? Or shall I drop them round to the house?

Well done Caz and Bern too!!! Fantastic work from all the car booty gang, brilliant ;D x

[daffysmum]

Barks and Spencers!!!! Love it!!!!! I feel a new box label coming on for the last Sunday ;D

Fantastic result, well done every one!

[CazDD]

Hehe, Barks & Spencers ;D ;D ;D

Susie, that's great - could you pop round with them as I have a special bag of clothes for you to have a look at. I've nicknamed them 'Dr Who Costumes'. lol.

[plasticflower]

Well Done everyone!! Fantastic amount raised!!



I have a load of stuff for the Boot Sales. Dvds, cds, books, clothes, toys. Am having a big clear out due to move! I'll probably be away this weekend though so will miss Last Sunday unfortunately. What shall I do with it all?

[jakesmum]

Hi Anita,
How long can you hang on to your booty? The store is chocca and I can't get into my summerhouse either. At a push if it was boxed up tidy I could smuggle it into my son's home rather than lose it.
PM me about when you need it gone and how we can work out a solution.

If I know it's going at some point I can hang on to it for now. Let me know if you need more 'stock'!

Anita, I can take the clothes. I'll PM you about them.
