Yard Sales

There's a new website which has been set up to promote the idea of yard sales across London.If you don't know what that is, it's like a car boot sale but in your own front garden or communal space. (http://www.londonyardsale.co.uk)Over the past few weekends there have been quite a few yard sales in the area with more coming up this weekend.Check the website for upcoming Yard Sales in your area, or if you have stuff you're saving for e-bay or a car boot sale, why not hold your own? Or if you've been prevaricating instead of having a clear-out, then fix a date and you'll have no more excuses. All listings are free during May plus we're donating to the Tohoku Earthquake Relief Fund for every listing received this month.

It was a lovely community event. Some donated some or all of the money raised to charity, but either way, the people who buy stuff are getting bargains so everyone was happy. The children and teenagers involved seemed to enjoy it particularly. We think it's a great way of running a community event with very little effort. Do get in touch with me via the london yard sale site if you're interested or want to know more.

Agreed!  If you have a look at the Actonw3.com forum, there were 5 local women who did this just last weekend.

Residents should join together and do a yard sale as they often do in the States.  It makes for a fun day with tea, coffee and cookies as well.
