Car Boot Sale

I love a good bargain, so when my friend suggested taking the kids to a local Car Boot Sale I jumped at the chance. We had a bit of a struggle getting three car seats in my car, but managed it in the end! Unfortunately the Car Boot Sale was a bit of a disappointment, not many people had turned out (could have been the iffy weather this morning or could be because of school holidays) and the ones who had seemed to be mainly professional Car Booters rather than ordinary folk. I did manage to find some brand new Kipper the Dog books for Little Prince, and paid over the odds for a Power Ranger Megazord (don't ask!!) figure he wanted, so he was happy :-) We then drove to a nearby pub for lunch, but as they had a special offer on the carvery it was packed out, so instead we drove to the nearest town and had lunch in a cafe there. We then mooched around the shops and bought a few bits and bobs. I tried to get Little Prince some new school pumps, but as he was wearing his thick sports socks I couldn't gauge the size properly. I'll try again tomorrow and make sure he is wearing his thinner school socks. We then had a quick whizz round the supermarket before heading off home again. Little Prince was almost in tears once we'd dropped my friend and her girls off, as he hadn't given his Girlfriend a goodbye hug - awww bless :-) We arrived home just as my ironing was being delivered, so perfect timing :-) Later on when Mr Messy arrived home from work he and I tipped the house upside down looking for the car insurance - can't find it anywhere and the car needs taxing on Saturday DARN!! I ended up ringing the insurance company to ask them to send us another certificate, fingers crossed it will be here in time!!!
