Nothing Beats a Good Car Booty - Except a Market

So then, that's Xmas & new year out of the way which is a bit of a shame because I was enjoying my week of not having to really worry about anything business related! I had said to Fay that I just wanted us all to switch off for a few days, then we could worry about what needed to be done in 2009.


I should have posted something on here long before now, but to be honest I saw it as a waste of time because I noticed that not a single sole has even bothered signing up to this fascinating blog. There's how many billions of people on planet earth and what have I managed to attract?- 5 blooming people! Yes, that's right 5 hits, and they were probably all mine. There I go again with my pessimistic self. Anyway, don't worry folks, I'm back and I'm gonna bore the hell out of you all!- Well, at least myself. I'm starting to feel like that teenager who wrote his own diaries, what was he called again?- That's right, Adrian Mole! Well, I will certainly be happy if I get as many hits as he sold of his blinking book!!

Anyway, I guess I should get back on track otherwise I might lose the attention of my audience! Remember I was telling you about the whole jewellery thing?- (ah, I had to sneak in a secret link in the hope that no one would notice). Wouldn't want people accusing me of spam!! So, back to the action and my beautiful wife and I had just embarked on our car boot sale adventure selling exquisite costume jewellery at nice little prices.

Most of you will have been to a car booty at some time in your lives I'm sure, so you will understand that they aren't the most glamorous or hygienic places in the world. Well, never mind because I had an in genius way of avoiding the use of the public convenience and it worked well:-

I know, it's not that funny, but come on give me a chance, I'm trying!!! BUT,-Can you imagine our exquisite jewellery.......

HERE.....

It just made me feel like there must be better things in life than flogging our gorgeously stunning, beautiful, shimmering, delicious, exquisite, divine & new jewellery - at our local flea market!!

Sooo, my wife and I decided to have a board meeting, and here's the minutes of that meeting.

• (WIFE) Baby, do you think that went well?
• (ME) Yeah honey, that was a real adrenaline rush! We only sold a handful of items and scooped £80! Just imagine if we could sell to a better level of clientele.
• (WIFE) Maybe we should get a business plan, go to the bank, get some money & open up a high street shop. (my wife always has a simple view of how things actually work)
• (ME) I KNOW! - Maybe we can go up a level! Yes, that's what we'll do....sell at the markets!
• (WIFE) YEAH! We will do it.....we WILL be rich....we WILL get our own house.
• (ME) Can I get a fast car and a PS3?

And that's how our business progressed. We believed that we had come up with a new idea and that we had something really special going on! As far as we were concerned, we had managed to buy a necklace for 50p and sell it for £9. We had bought earrings for 15p and flogged them for £5. YES, as far as we were concerned, we were going to be millionaires! We had only taken £80, but that was just a handful of sales at a local booty. Imagine what could happen at a MARKET!!! We would be raking in the money........surely!
