Second Car Boot Sale

Yes thats right we are keen beans atm and went to our 2nd car boot sale in 7 days!

So this time there were fewer of us, however the car was still bursting at the seams with goodies.  Being more experienced this time we arrived at 6am for an supposed 6.30 set up time, and just as we polished off our bacon sandwiches were allowed to set up from 6.15am.

So with a better pitch this time we began to unload (I will add that it was very dark and cold at this point.)  There were the usual onlookers at the beginning and requests for electrical items (we still had none), however the teamwork was sublime and we were good to go in no time.  It is also worth stating here that Izzy and Josie have no idea what the fuss about the clothes rack was last week.  Even with some screws missing and on the spot improvisation (see pictures on flickr), the rack went up in no time - the clothes looked so professional it could have been a rail in Selfridges!

Constant snacking and drinking of tea ensued over the next 5 hours and in total we raised just short of £90.  This added to last week's total means that in seven days we have raised £180 - lets hope we can keep this momentum going.

The car boot season is now drawing to a close, not least because we are all off to uni and therefore all over the country until Christmas, however there will be other fundraising events in the interval so keep checking back for more details.

Its been a brilliant few weeks for Challenge 521.  We have booked our expedition, started fundraising, sorted out technical details and have plans for future fundraising events - fingers crossed that by this time next year we will have successfully completed our challenge.

More updates soon ...
