[MAK]

We will be up and out by 7:00 tomorrow to set up our craft stall for a 12 hour christmas market. We have opted to do a large variety of crafts from wooden jigsaws, wooden candlesticks to fluffy toys and baby clothes. All made by us and a good spread of items from 2€ to 65€ for young and not so young.
We have made baskets full of different jams but otherwise no other produce.
  and 18 degrees on Monday and mild tomorrow so should be a good day.  that we make a few bob and learn what sells for future markets.

Good Luck Mak - enjoy    I love selling our produce at markets/fairs. So nice to actually chat to people (not the same with online shop is it!) x

Many thanks everyone. I'll share the outcome on Monday.
Even if we make no money for all of 2013 having a market trader card will qualify us for health care cover - so cheaper than buying health insurance 

[NormandyMary]

Good Luck from me too Martin. Can you take some photos of your stall and post them?
How come you didnt qualify for health cover before?

[Lesley Silvester]

Hope you have a great day and coming home with no goods and lots of money.

Mary - we are offically classed as "inactive" as we do not work or receive a pension and despite EU law our local CPAM have declined an extension of our Carte Vital. We  can not be bothered to appeal. 
I am not keen on buying health insurrance so registering as an auto entrepeneu ( market trading) is a great solution and a bit of fun.
That said winter grub is taking its toll. Chris has given up the gin but refuses to go for a run before we feed the stock each morning .

That's really pants, especially after they changed their minds about that law, Im not sure that they could exclude you from "the system" now. Still now you are an AE you're official. Each department should conform with the others. Do what I did when they first announced it...write to the president. I wrote it in poem form (in english) and sent it direct to Sarkozy AND I got a reply. I also sent a letter to our Euro MP (UK).
I was so worried as OH has such bad health, there was no way that he would have been insured, luckily though he is now over 65 so they cant touch him!!
