What a tiring day we have had.

Up at 730 to clear the remaining stuff from the loft, when the bell rings and there is a woman who wants to know when the sale starts as she wants to buy a small bicycle for her 5 year old daughter. £3 and its your, I say. Our sale has started. Bad luck on our next door neighbour who advertised his stuff in the local advertiser, but the people came to ours, instead and we were nearly £100 better off. So tiring though. If Mum had not been watchfull, we would have had people inside the house, round the back garden and in both garages trying to force us to sell what we wanted to keep. We managed to shift qute a lot of stuff, including the little stone lady on her plinth, some stone pots and birdbaths. What a day - I couldn't do that many times.

Been there, done that! It was pretty much the same when we left Africa. Seno guarded the house as we sold up from the garage at 32 Kopano. It all seems such a waste but then the buyers all benefit I guess and you have little choice. I remember selling my Black and Decker drill for a snip but you can't take it with you in the hand luggage so better to get 15 pula for it! Yes, but it was tiring. We did two or three in the end and to be honest it would have been easier to take it to the skip!! Well done you two. I'd have loved to be there to see whar bargains I coulg have picked up. Sounds better than Bedoin market!

Anyone fancy Top Trumps?
