What Am I Looking For This Year................?

................At car boot sales is what I'm talking about. Weather permitting the big boot sales finally start at Needham Market tomorrow and then Wednesday as well from next week. The small local boot sale should also start this Sunday but knowing how wet it was there last October and how much rain we've had I will be surprised if they do get going.


So what do I need? as usual............I wrote a list................

Things for grandchildren
A couple of big mugs - have to be my preferred shape
A couple of short tumblers
Anything that I use in the house that will save me money later.
Clothes for Arthur as he grows
Some large big flower pots

I'm sure there will be more things when I think of them



 My conservatory is quarter full with grandchildren toys but all are for them up to the age they are now. So with no boot sales I've searched charity shops for some games for them as they get bigger. These are my finds so far



Jacob and I had a go at the  Memory game - all the characters from the Cars films - when he was here a couple of weeks ago.
These games need to be kept in a cupboard, which is currently out in the workshop and too big to fit on the sack-barrow, better get some help to bring it in sometime.

I spend more on the grandchildren than I do on myself which suits me fine!

  1. Lucky grandchildren. I still remember how much we looked forward to playing with 'Nanna's Games' when we went a-visiting as children. It was different and special. Such happy memories and you are making them for your grandchildren now.

  2. Yes, we have books, games and toys here for our youngest grand-daughter as we look after her two days a week. Our oldest grand-daughter only really visits when it's the school holidays and with her it's all technology, (sad face). Having said that she does like to draw things in a big book of blank pages she has here. She is more for being outside and kicking a ball about (football crazy) and as we all know that hasn't been possible lately because of the weather.

    We only lived a short walk away from our paternal Grandparents, so was always popping in, but I can't remember them having any toys etc for us to play with.

  3. My sister and I lived with my grandmother for a while when I was between 5 and 7. She had been born in the late 1800s, her children born 1915 onwards, and she had kept toys and books from that era. It was normal for us to play with things that are now only seen on TV antiques programmes! Plus we had the run of the farm and the old mill buildings, eggs to find, the pig to talk to and vegetables and wild flowers to pick. She did have electricity, but only the lights and a radio ran off it.
    Such a transition to your grandchildrens' times!

  4. I always loved going to my paternal grandparents as granny had an old satchel of my dads in the cupboard full of building bricks. That is all she had so if we went for the day that is all I had to play with but it suited me - I would make houses and castles, riding stables and shops - my imagination with a pile of bricks knew no bounds it is a wonder I did not grow up to be an architect....but I did marry one.
    I have been collecting a load of stuff for my own boot sale - but I will wait for the warmer weather unless the loft starts to grown under the weight!
    PS I don't seem to have what you are looking for though or I would send it to you.

  5. I bet your grandchildren love visiting you Sue :) There used to be a built in cupboard next to the fire at my Nannas that had boards games in it. My other grandparents had a shed and their toys were more outdoor based, tennis rackets, cricket bat, balls. We had the best of both worlds. Have a lovely weekend. xx

  6. It's nice to have some games that stay at grannies house isn't it. I bet they look forward to playing with them when they arrive. It's good too to buy them from car boots you're saving yourself a fortune and they nearly all seem to be in excellent condition I've found.

  8. I used to spend a lot of holidays with one of my grandmothers and she had games that we would play together in the evening - I particularly remember Happy Families (cards), Chinese Checkers, Mah Jongg, Snakes and Ladders, and Dominoes. All good fun and great memories.

  11. Isn't it fun being a grandmom! When my grands were young I always spent more on them than myself. I guess it's what we do. I also always kept a box of toys and games here for them. Good memories.
