    I would never leave stuff outside - you never know who is going to rifle through it/pee against it in the night!

    My ebay item has just ended - £30.50 :j

    We get some strange stuff in sometimes, we also get van loads at other times. I got to work on Monday to be on slaughted with 30 bags that were waiting for me.! We had 40 that I managed to clock in Yesterday. My asistant was off yesterday, and is tomorrow morning too, so I will have my work cut out sorting it all out.
    sold a hat stand just before the end of the session yesterday, and a brilliant tea set the day before.
    We have of course a lot of junk too, so it does take a bit of an effort to work out what will sell best. One mans trash is definitely anothers treasure there is not a truer word!.
    Mind you without the shop my grandchildren would not have half of the stuff they do have!!. We had a travel cot in a few weeks ago, and I got that for £10 and we had a baby walker in last week. Just waiting to assess it, but the delivery of the van packs got in the way and now I cant find it!.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I work for the British Heart Foundation, we raise money to prevent heart desease, to provide nurses in the hospitals on the heart wards, and all those electric defribulator thingys in the ambulances etc... Its a brilliant cause, I chose to work for them as my (ex)husband had heart surgery many years ago.
    And your right Hypno we beg people not to leave stuff outside as it is stolen, and pee'd on regularly if its left outside.. And muggins here has to clear it up!!

    Well done on the Ebay Hypno.
    Reckon there would be a few car boots worth of stuff here in this room alone if I could sort it out. Not that i am allowed to do them myself, as it could look bad in my job!! One thing the powers that be are, is miss trusting of its employees. Obviously there has been some very distrusting people work for them before?
    Twins just rang they are on the way home. But can I help with the petrol as thier friends run out!!! Great, subs again.... Has to be the last one from me, I have a credit crunch about to hit...Oh no, I dont have any credit I am bankrupt. Dam now a baby is awake.
