Friends Car Boot Sunday, 8 January Bessemer Road, Cardiff We have had a lot of car boot items donated by a lovely lady so will be setting out our stall on the 8th. ;D Any help on the day would be much appreciated - it is an early start - 7am set up  , open to the public from 8am - but it does mean it's all finished by lunchtime If you could just fit in an hour or so it would make a big difference and if you've never done one, car boots are great fun, your chance to give out the market spiel ;D If you're passing, please come in and see us and have a chat and you might pick up the bargain of the century - stranger things have happened  |

What a fun morning! It was a blast. I think car boot sales may become my addiction, fundraising wise, and I would love to help keep the momentum going with them. If you have good quality items to offer, PM me to drop off or pick up, and I can store them in my shed (not clothes though) Lots of very kind people gave donations and the doggy treats went like hot cakes. Looking forward to knowing how much we raised - I'm betting over 300 quid. Thanks for the hot dog Bernard!

Rachel - you were magnificent ;D  The nice man let us have the pitch for nothing, and we turned a few boxes of, er, what can I call it, 'car booty' - into £272.20 That means that this weekend, we have raised a stormin' ... for our kennel fund  To everyone who helped this weekend, pat yourselves on the back, you were fabulous |

Hi, thanks very much for the offer but my shed is not massive so I think such a very large teddy would use up too much space - hope you find him a good home  |

Re the handsome bloke in the fluorescent jacket. A cuddle from him was an unexpected perk of the job!

Yep! I'm up for that. Let's aim for one a month, but if we get a surplus of donations we can squeeze another one in. Buttttttttttttt - we will need a steady supply of car booty to keep the momentum going. I can store it ok but let's keep the quality of goods at a pretty high standard so we aren't left with a load of stuff we can't shift. So go hunting in your loft, cupboards, under the bed and in the understairs cupboard and give us all the things that will come in handy one day - but never do. Has anyone got a sturdy, collapsible table we can have? Message me if you have stuff to drop off to me in Llandaff North or to be picked up. Let's get this baby off the ground! ;D |

(I luffs Gavin & Stacey I do) ;D What if we ask peeps to drop stuff to the Last Sunday of the Month, and we can car booty on the First Sunday of the Month? If that's not a good idea, pm me and this post will self destruct It would save you a bit of running around, and would give you a week to sort out the stuff... rather than have it coming in dribs and drabs? But Missus, this is your thang, you are the Car Boot Queen (blame Bern for that one) And I do believe you may have a royal consort in Marina My sister already has a few *bits* for you ;D |
