Packed and ready to go

This morning was the first time to be glad that I'm banned from running at the moment...it was pouring with rain and freezing cold! I have, however, been working hard on the exercise bike and doing my ankle-strengthening exercises.
My ankle is starting to feel stronger, although the tendon is still sore.
In the last two days I've been doing the rounds collecting goodies for my car boot sale. Friends and family have been very generous, and I have some fantastic items to sell.
Fitting it all in the car was reminiscent of packing to go on holiday...you know you have to fit it all in there somehow, but there was a lot of arranging, re-arranging, shifting and twisting before the boot of the car would close.
The car boot sale tomorrow is my first big fundraising attempt, and we need to be in Worcester for 6am (gulp!) I've not done a car boot before, so I'm quite nervous, and I hope it doesn't rain.
My youngest daughter has kindly volunteered to help out, and I have left a small-child-sized space in a corner of the car for her. I have appointed her as chief organiser, and it's her job to keep the table looking its best through the morning. I'm hoping by the time she gets home she'll have honed her skills enough to tidy her room.
So...if you're near Blackpole, Worcester in the morning, come and say hello (and bring your pennies and buy something). If not, I'll let you all know how I get on tomorrow.
