Earlier than the Cockerels

So after a very sudden start: my dad calling... me still in bed...that sudden realisation that my alarm hadn't gone off... I drove like a crazy woman all the way to Henley, whilst throwing make-up on at every red traffic light. Set up my stall - two tables - of books, bracelets, bangles, boots, magazines, music, jeans, jackets, jumpers, high heels, small heels, ankle boots, bags, belts, bottles... You get the picture. 

It was quite slow going, and to start with, I had a few old men sifting through my jewellery! It was very cold, but luckily it didn't rain! My electricals were very successful - funnily enough, the ONLY people interested in my PINK mini fridge were all guys, and one soon bought it. Women were interested in clothes, and a few large-footed ladies went mad over my shoes. I even had an Asian couple buy literally HALF my stall!!! The husband just kept on holding all the jewellery items up to his wife, she'd nod, and he'd add it to the pile! In the end they took the whole jewellery box!! :)

The market is even a good place for dating... if you're interest in old toothless guys with a heavy Birmingham accent who hand you their number in case you 'want to meet up for a drink'. Hmm, I think the recycling bin would appreciate it more! 

My stalls definitely attracted most people, as (here's a TIP!) the more things you have, the bigger range, the more people are interested. And it was very colourful and well arranged - clothes neatly laid out, books together, shoes lined up etc. On the way home I stopped off by Oxfam with a bag of clothes leftover and some books.
