Got up today at 5.45am [|)] to do a car boot at 6.45 Yipee just want i want to do on a sunday morning why do they have them so blikin early?[Ugh]

Not doing to bad anxiety wise until we got there and BANG. Mr Panic struck [}:)] when I looked around and there were people people and more people [8)] then we got put right down the end so I felt well and truly trapped to say the least GULP!!!![:O]

Before we had even parked up there were people hovering near our car and when we finally parked and opened the boot WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH [:O] people started diving in like vultures and rumaging before we could even get the boxes out and the pasting tables up!

Hubby even bought covers (not for sale may I add!) for the tables (I thought we were gonna have a romantic meal what with having candles for sale as well!:) You can picture the setting pasting table with covers! candles un lit though as didn't have a light some fruit and nuts which i always carry with me a bottle of mineral water and some Bach flower rescue remedy! (well thats got alcohol in it!) Then somebody ruined my vision by asking how much the table covers were [:P] LOL! [Duh!]

Anyway I told my anxiety to get lost and i managed to get through it although I felt incredibly shy[8)][:I] through the whole process [Sigh...]

We managed to make £50 so that wasn't bad for a mornings work. I even made up a gimmick of "Free carrier bag with every purchase!"[Wow!][:P]

My only 1 tip i have for surviving another car boot is to actually climb in the car boot and shut yourself in! ;)LOL

Take care all,

Love PIP'S XX

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.
