It’s been a while since I participated in Six Word Saturday and it’s been a while since I went
Car boot sale, Rosudgeon social club. Note St Piran’s flags for sale, under the table bottom left. A good sale for plants. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I’m going to walk up to church with my dogs and spend money I don’t really have on stuff I don’t really need. A pleasant way to spend Saturday.
But first, I’m going to take a shower: it’s been a while.
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

They are table top sales if indoors and car boot sales if outdoors.

Is a table top sale similar to our garage sale or yard sale? Or do they only sell table tops?

I love UK Bar Coot Sales with a passion. We have nothing nearly as good. I have found that by visiting a few every weekend I could find targeted items – like brushcutter, camera, mountain bike, and winter-type clothes.

Great way to describe it, Tilly. I love yard sales no matter what you call ’em, which is why I never go. The temptations are right up there with unguarded cookies and the last piece of pie. Enjoy your treasures.

So as you go to the Sale, what remains your intention? To strike bargains or friendships?

Table top sales is so much better than what we call them: garage sales. very weird since we are Not in fact selling our garage — just likely everything crammed inside it that we no longer need or use. oh…..ok, I get it now. 🙂
But it is rather fun way to spend a Saturday.
