    Congratulations AnW's mum :beer::beer: That's a HUGE achievement. You'll have to start ebaying some of the stuff that you're unearthing ;) I seem to remember you have a queue of flylady customers waiting for you to set up shop again!

    A lot of the stuff in there is Miss A & W's toys which I now need to go through. Then there is by ebay stock which is stacked on top of an old TV cabinet which has loads of videos and DVD's in. Those I am hoping to whittle down and get rid of but that will be a longer term project.



    Still not brave enough to post a pic yet!

    I need to update my ebay listings and get stuff back in my shop, to give you all some ideas on what I have I will post a couple of stock pics in a mo.
