Spent a happy day at Diss auction today, looking at old furniture, pictures, and miscellaneous farm stuff! Great people watching too, with some very interesting characters.
Came home with 2 pick-ups full of stuff - a huge water tank, a dog kennel, a strimmer, a baby pen (for the puppy).... and 3 tyres that we bid on by mistake thinking it was the previous lot being bid on - we live and learn!!
We didn't buy...
A grand piano - which sold for £90!
A huge lovely dining table - £450
A splendid drinks cabinet - price unknown
I can see we might be spending more Fridays here - it's addictive! For some reason when a lot had no bids at all, I just wanted to buy it (you know like when a train is coming and just for a moment you think about jumping in front of it? That kind of feeling!).
Mum is worried that Dad will get back into the habit of going to the auction again now - sorry Mum!
