Car boot sale this morning which was one of our more successful ones. I managed to get Tarly a gorgeous full length winter coat, which is just *so* Tarly in sheepskin a-like purple with pink fluffy trim for the bargain price of £2.50 – she loved it so much she wore it all round the rest of the car boot sale in the blazing sun! Also a skirt for 50pence. She got a heart shaped box containing two Barbie board books for 20p – that girl is just so into Barbie 🙄 a beanie baby each for the children for 20 pence each and some wetsuit shoes for Davies for 20pence. Bargains a-go-go! 🙂
I dropped Ady and the children off at my parents and went up to Sainsburys to do the month’s food shop which came in at under £150 – and I’m sure you can imagine how much meat a month’s worth of Goddard family food shop contains so I was pretty pleased with that.
Came home and unloaded it all and then went back to my parents for lunch. A fairly pleasant couple of hours there and then home for tea. I’ve managed to list a few bits on ebay – and bid on various xbox games for a quid or so each so hopefully some of them are winners to add to the pile of pressies for Davies’ birthday.
Cooked a lovely roast beef dinner, have had a nice IM chat with Ali and am now ready for bed really.
Tomorrow we’ve planned to go to the seafront where there is always a bank holiday Monday market, I want to gather some nice stones from the beach (I know, sshhh! 😉 ) which I plan to decorate for Malice’s grave and we need to mark out and measure our plot of beach for Beachwatch, which I will be talking about more later this week. Must sort out my family tax credits return form tomorrow too and try and get some more stuff listed on ebay. I’ve gone through Tarly’s clothes and sorted out stuff ready for Autumn and Winter collecting an outgrown pile and I need to do the same for Davies really although he appears to have still not grown since last winter, which means he is either stunted in which case I am being very neglectful in not getting him looked at, about to have a mammoth growth spurt which will mean all of his clothes don’t fit any more or he’d just short generally. Which is probably more likely ;-).
Hey Nic ,
Do you sell Tarly’s clothes on Ebay….coz…I could probably buy stuff from you, considering Robyn is smaller etc. 🙂

Yeah, I do generally. Will let you know when I next have a batch ready to go and you can always yell and I’ll pull the auction. 🙂

I did the tax credits annual return on the phone, actually pleasantly easy for once, only took 3.5 minutes, might be easier than getting organised to do the whole posting thing.
