Merry Christmas or is it all BAH HUMBUG ?
Sunday’s Car Boot Sale at Truro went ahead with only 16 sellers who made good money they paid a fiver a stall and were very well supported by nearly four hundred men women kids and dogs (free admission) however shame on you sellers who did not turn up to sell. I was in Trago’s the other day the store was virtually empty so were some of the main shops in Truro without the anticipated loads of customers in the build up towards Christmas, they would certainly have been happy with our 400 Sunday crowd.
Seeing the shoppers in Truro many without shopping bags is a sign of how we are not out of the recession as claimed by the Cameron Clowns from the Cons Party.
We like the atmosphere of the Community Car Boots where everybody seems to know everybody and there is a great feeling of friendship amongst buyers and sellers. People have been asking ‘what am I going to do now all the boot sales are finished’? But they are not, we will have probably 3 running from mid- January keep an eye on the HOME PAGE for daily updates in the meantime you have got to get ready to celebrate Christmas in the way you choose! Lou and I will not celebrate with cards and gifts but we will certainly stuff our faces and get totally bored with what’s on the telly the forecast is crap so it will probably be pissing down outside! Thank god we don’t have a houseful of kids cos it must be hell organising their meals and entertainment, I couldn’t cope, been there, done that. Amen!
Let’s give a thought to the Mum’s who will probably create the Christmas lunch so why not on Christmas Day let her have a lie-in by waking and taking her a cup of tea and some buttered toast at 6.00 am so she can be up to make sure the lunch is not late, after she has done breakfast for everyone the presents can be given out with the whole household up by bloody seven in the morning and bored out of their pants two hours later. After the Christmas Day lunch she has so beautifully presented why not give her a complete break from the kitchen and do the washing up yourselves also clear up the dreadful mess she has made in the kitchen. Let her rest up watch TV and fall asleep absolutely knacked out on the settee but make sure you wake her so she can do tea-time food for all. Oh, by the way, don’t let her drink too much or you will have to get your own supper my lovers!!
Thanks Mum…..X
From me personally, I love all Mums and all ladies who are the backbone and major supporters of us and our business Car Boots Cornwall. Thank you Mothers, god I am such a creep!!
Or, why not give her the day off completely and you do all the cooking and feeding everybody your bloody self at least it will all be done PROPERLY!! Been there, done that. Amen!
Merry Christmas, but one final word about Christmas Day and the presents you may or may not receive if you are not happy with your ‘pressies’ and you wish to show what an ungrateful sod you are then you can always bring them to sell at Truro Car Boot Sale this Sunday at 1.30 but don’t tell Mother! I will!
Ps; Thank you for the Christmas Cards in particular to Marge who sends me a lovely ‘religious’ card each year despite the fact she knows we do not celebrate the alleged festive season, so I kept the one she sent me last year crossed out her name and put HAPPY CHRISMAS from Geoff sealed up the card and handed it into the Cafe at Truro for the girls to give Marge. She came to thank me ‘so much and I won’t open this until Christmas Day’ OMG that is certainly going to set her chins a-wobbling Mother! XX
