Roll up.. Roll up.. Roll up..

This weekend I will be doing my best to emulate the giddy professional heights of the career of Martin Fowler.  No, I'm not going to go upstairs to wash my hands and disappear for five years (only to reappear looking completely different), nor kill anyone in a careless driving incident, nor get involved with a trumpet-playing-and-secretly-lesbian-boot.  No, none of that.. but I will be running my own market stall.. (apologies for the blatant Eastenders reference to anyone who doesn't watch the Beeb's flagship soap, by the way)

Well, a car boot stall anyway..
Aye, it's finally time for the great "Baby On The Way Clearance Sale" which aims to empty my spare room in readiness for its transformation into a nursery.

Unlike most car boots, this is not being hosted in the middle of some remote muddy field, but on a proper local market (which has permanent stalls and everything) which means we have a lot of space on which to actually display our stuff. 

Which is quite handy really, because we started getting stuff together over the weekend and already we have approximately 300 CDs to sell (£1.50 each - or 5 for £5, step right up for a bargain!).  Actually, there are some really good CDs in there, and I want the personal sacrifice that is being made here by selling so many of them noted, please.  Thanks.  It's an eclectic mix that's being sold too (as we've combined our CD collections to sell), so you've got everything from Black Sabbath to Blue, from Testament to Justin Timberlake and from Carcass to Dina Carroll(!?).  We also have two big boxes full of paperbacks filled so far (50p your paperback books now ladies and gentlemen, that's a lot of book for your buck, roll up roll up) and this has partially cleared the bookcase, but the job's only half done really. Funny though, books by David Eddings and Stephen King occupy nearly half a box each on their own!!  Who knew we had such author loyalty!?

So early on Sunday morning (you have to get there by six to get a pitch) we'll be rolling up with a boot full of stuff to flog.  Hopefully the locals will be buying!
