Garage Sale...

With Summer approaching there's nothing better than a good Spring clean, an opportunity to get rid of some junk, raise some cash and spend time with friends. On Sunday we decided to have a Garage sale having placed the advert in the local paper. In Australia it's very much the done thing as there don't seem to be many car boots.

... Alfie got the sign ready, dad hung it, drivers ignored it!

... Great customer service from Alfie. Welcomed those that did come with a wave and a smile!

The sign was made and we sat out expectantly waiting for customers, and we waited.... and waited ... and waited. Some five hours and $10 later, thats £5 to most of you guys it was time to pack up as the weather was turning a little wild and the tarpaulin we had erected to keep the rain off threatened to take off!!! Maths has never been my strong point but my calculation suggests that we are actually $7.50 out of pocket due to the cost of the add! MMmmm at least we achieved the spending time with friends as Amy and Mitchel were also on hand and selling as little of their stuff!


... The customer is always right! .... Or at least they would have been had they come!
... Note impromptu shelter not built at this stage!!!


...Alf looks poverty stricken ..... "These were trousers once!"
