Car bootin' is good for the soul


I decided to do a boot. Not only is a good clear out good for the soul, and your home. It's a good way to get rid of your clutter and rubbish, and recycle to someone that wants your toot.

So off I drove. I drove. It was about 9 miles away. We'll tackle that in the next blog. Anyway, I was packed to the roof clutching hot veggie sausage sarnies and luke warm tea I'd made at 5am.

I was swarmed as soon as I opened the car doors.

'Got any gold?'
'Got any costumes?'
'Got any mobile phone?'

These were the first things said to me on the field that morning.

I'd cleaned, packed up, and shined all of Rudy's newborn and early baby clothes and accessories as well as various objects of mine including 40 peacock feathers from my fancy dress outfit, a 'what to do in an emergency' book and a secret stash jar.

I'm pleased to report I made a grand total of £196.32 all of which is going towards our camping holiday. Thus I've recycled the last year of our lives, for the time of our lives. And it feels really ruddy good.
