Only when baby born I need to have a double check make sure baby is fine.
Then ........


On sat we have a good clear up our home, all those rubbish

so ...
here is some of my shoe I got to send to boot sale ...

£20 hahaha:P
he open price for £25
I say £20 he say SALE DONE

I am so proud of myself
Derek wanted to buy a brand new set of the nursery furniture for our baby and we thinking to re do up the room make it very smart .
then ......
looking at this cot so new and also so cheap.....
why not huh can save some ££££ , is good so we can use in other thing after all
we are not so lucky can get free gift from friend and family
we must get everything our self that is wat a parent are for I guess .



with my 3 other kids when there young
we got to buy everything by ourself but we are so proud of ourself
we did do a good job as parent
I remember when steph born we don't have lot of ££ so one of my friend ask me to buy her second hand cot from her ,
she sale to me for £50 .. is really not as good as this one I bought today but £50 is good to me cost that time we really can't afford to buy a cot for £200 or more .
but I use that cot for all those 3 of them and then went I finish ,
I re sale all my baby thing to my cleaner who come to my home weekly to help me .

today ...
we are not rich ..... but can afford buy everything new for this new baby .....
BUT like . Nicole say if can save why not ler
I always like BARGAIN kekeek
is me
PEARLY CAN'T GET AWAY FROM BAD HABIT
BUT
Honestly after boot sale for the pass 2 days
it make me have the Hang of it
I love it.... cos... I can turn rubbish to ££££
after all English say .......
some people rubbish ,, it may be some people treasure
so I learn today ....
RUBBISH DOES MAKE ££££££ TOO
SO FROM NOW EVERY WEEKEND IS

Hi Pearly,
Good for you all ; you got rid of a few unneeded objects and made some money !
Nice to have made a family project around it with everyone working together.I like that... those children didn't seem too bad !

Very nice buy for the cot also.

I know someone that wants to have a baby ( not yet pregnant !) but is clearing out & cleaning up too.
Making your little nest !

Take care my friend.

That baby cot is a very good bargain! :)

Hello Pearly
hahah, so that is what car boot sale is all about. It is a very good concept, I donno if we have it in Minnesota. But I know many people have garage sales, unfortunately I have never been to one or else I could find a lot of bargains.
Yeah, you are right about saving. All the stuffs I bought for Nicholas from birth till now are new stuffs and his toys and other neccesities are all brand new full price. First kid so don't mind spending all the moolah but now regretted it because I donno who to give to except to goodwill and other charity. Besides, Nicholas only used them for few months, really wasting. wish you live in MN, so I could give all his stuffs to you. Anyways, well, glad you made some moolah during boot sales and also got a good bargain for your cot. It is really nice. Well done. =)
PS. You still haven't share your happy news yet!!! But I think everyone would have know from Stephy's comment heheheh. She is too adorable isn't she.? Hi stephy *waving to Stephy*

take care okay, get a lot of rest.

Nicole

Hi Pearly,

That's what boot sale is, like the garage sales here in US. I love going to these sales, too, you get the stuff at cheaper prices but then it's dangerous for me, I then to buy, buy even tho i don't need it!

So, sounds like a boy is on the way, huh? :)

Take are, Pearly.

Aiyah Nonya said...

Boot sales here is not very popular. But we do have a street (under the hot sun) where most 2nd stuff are on sale. Others are at more conducive locations with more clothing and hip stuff.

I always like flea markets/ pasar malams. Just strolling around is fun. Especially the pasar malams in Malaysia. Lots of tempting snacks everywhere. :)

Unknown said...

Hellooooo Pearly,

What a clever mother-to-be! Buying that beautiful cot for 20 quid!! It can only happen in the UK. Best lah.

I wish we have nice car boot sales in M'sia. Although flea markets are catching fast.

Glad to hear you are getting better.

Hey Pearly, I met JT here in KL. It was nice having coffee and gossiping..he he.
