2am Design

Well this weekend has been eventful, my 12 year son has decided he wants a 32" flat screen TV for his bedroom and being a mum who likes to make him work and experience the value of money, I have told him that he can have one but he has to pay for it himself!

So Saturday consisted of us scouring the house for unwanted items we thought might sell at a car boot. Most of our find came from my son's room, he was very pleased with the amount of toys he felt he could do without! I was very pleased with how tidy his room looked afterwards, much to his disgust!

Sunday morning we were up at the crack of dawn (well not quite that early) loading the car with boxes and heading off to a windy field in Thornton, near Blackpool, full of other hopeful car boot stall holders. It was a good day, becoming better as the the day warmed up and we made a bit of money, which of course was the aim.

Encouraged by his 'profits' from the day we are now apparently doing car boots every weekend, I'm not sure that I can get up at 7am every Sunday morning though - I might need a lie in every other week.
