    Trust me, your rubbish will be someone else's dream item ;)


    I shouldn't really call it rubbish :rotfl: It is mainly DD's baby toys, although there is housey bits and bobs aswell which are still perfect, they may not sell but if they don't then I will take them down to the chairty shop on the monday :)

    I don't mind ironing.......it's not my favourite thing in the world but I can combine doing uniforms with watching tv!

    Oh thank god, I thought you were one of those strange people that love ironing! :rotfl: (no offence to any strange people that love ironing :p)

    Hayley - I hate ironing too but since I bought a steam generator its not as bad - I can whizz through in no time :D

    I've been cleaning all afternoon phewww - four bathrooms, five bedrooms and all on 3 floors!!!!!!!!!!!! Mum came up and offered to drop some stuff off at the charity shop after my big declutter so thats a big help. Its a nightmare here all the local charity shops are in a pedestrianised area of town and there is no way I could carry it all so Mum works around the corner and is going to take it in gradually for me.
    I would normally do a car boot sale but the last one I did was a disaster - i sold lots but hardly made any money and most things were brand new. People just want things for nothing. The rest of the stuff i may try and sell on ebay for a few quid once I get around to listing it all.

    Jake is busy doing his homework which is for him to write about someone special and he has chosen me awwwww (I think Daddy is a bit put out - evil smile spreads across my face :D:D).
    Still haven't got around to making my nappy cake so must get cracking!!!

    Oh and talking about thrifty I bought some stardrops for 40p in Asda and some microfibre cloths in Home Bargains for 99p and the house is gleaming. I'm going to save soooo much money this way :)

    hi guys! hope you are all OK!

    I have bought MORE stash and made another scrapbooking page which I will put on my blog asap :) What fun!! Think I have got the bug well and truly back for scrapping!

    Ended up getting Dad Malt Whisky (from duty free last year - saved 50%) and giving towards his family present which was quite expensive, so I am now officially not money neutral. Will have to get eBaying :)

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A
