so yesterday i did my first carboot sale in a place called BREAN in somerset. It was absolutely baking and after sorting out all my worldly goods (and putting half back cos i didnt want to sell them!) i managed to make £45 ($75) not much i know for the shame but thank god i never saw anyone i knew ha ha but hey its an improvement on my travel savings.....anyone else had to do anything as shameful to help their funds??

I worked in retail, it was shameful and I didn't make any money to go traveling either... it was a lose lose situation

Maybe you can tell Vanna and Pat about your travel woes and they will front you the money for your trip!

Hey if the EU wanted to whore me out.. I would do it too. As long as I was giving them something besides sex (seeing as I already said I wouldn't do that in another thread). Go for it.. go get your learn on and travel at the same time.. what a win-win.

awww I feel your pain beergal1. I had to sell a bunch of antiques my parents had given me to finance my move up north with my now ex. That wasnt too bad but giving up my 2 ferrets hurt. I gotta admit i cried a little (still miss those little buggers)
cosmos hmm I like those alright they would be better if they were made with tequila mmmmm tequila

I gave them up for a girl but in my defense i was planning on marrying her and we were going to be staying in a tent for the whole summer and most of the fall. I woulda loved to have kept them but I wouldnt have been able to care for them correctly. They have a good home though and since I came back to scotia ny I can see them all the time. WOOHOO cointreau is good I know all the lickas though cause I managed a liquor store for 5 years.

Jake, I know how that is... I am not selling everything, but I am sure scaling down a lot of stuff. But I am working to pay down debt so I can get ahead in the game of life.
