TMD - I would probably sell the car too in your position. On primark - I have found for kids clothes they have been absolutely fine. Got a beautiful cotton dress with sequins on for £6 a couple of years ago and it is still in perfect condition now for my 6 year old... had shorts and tshirts and hoodies from there for DD no problem. My DS's tshirts and shirts from their have also been absolutely fine from a washing point of view!- on adult sizes - they never seem to make them quite big enough / or they shrink (that is my story and I am sticking with it).:rotfl:

I really want to sell it before something goes wrong as it hasn't been serviced for a few years.

I find the sizes in Primark come up small, I buy the vests and socks and that sort of thing. I bought Alisha some bodysuits, sleepsuits and a fleece sleepsuit from there the other week. When I go though it's when we go to see OH's mum but she doesn't like us going round the house so we meet in a pub and we go there first but I can't really look around with the 3 of them messing about and whining, I will go one day and have a good look around when the kids are both at school.

I would sell your car now while it is still running - as you know we lost 2 cars in weeks of each other and got very little for them - wish we'd sold them earlier

Where is best to sell them, I can't be bothered listing on Ebay or putting an ad in the paper as I'm hopeless with things like that, I'd rather just go to a garage and see if they buy cars and sell it that way, the electric windows on the front passenger side doesn't work, the cover for the plugs is missing and there is a dent on the front wheel arch.

I'll keep on at OH about selling it and see if he can find somewhere. He's not keen for me to sell it as he uses it when his isn't working.

I've sold on autotrader before... and traded it in... Martin has articles on it I think....

Hi CAFC - Have a good day! I have lots of clothes to sort out and put away, it's the local Fete on at the park behind us today so the kids are watching them set up out of their bedroom window and keep telling me it's started now (starts at 11am). When I come back I'll do a bit of Ebaying. DD1 starts back at school tomorrow so need to pack her PE bag.

I ate 3 kit kats last night (well DD1 had one stick). Got two left so might scoff one of those now.

Have fun at Asda.

kit kat for breakfast! SHOCKING

Im just having a cuppa and then im going to get dressed..... yes shamefully at 10am I am not yet dressed....

too_much_debt

Don't worry, I'm not dressed yet either, just about to find clothes for everyone. I can't start the day without a fix of my computer. I don't very often have breakfast (maybe toast), the Kit Kat was calling me and only stopped when I ate two sticks.

CAFCGirl

still!!!!!

OK really must now get dressed.... maybe something new from the Primarni collection
