    You are doing really well selling bits. You've definitely motivated me to try and sell things, especially the children's clothes. I hate to admit that I have all of the DCs clothes & shoes they've outgrown in the loft (DC1 is 8 :eek:). I've always kept them to hand down to the next DC or any future DC. It's worked really well with DC2s old clothes/shoes going to DC3. Do you hand many clothes down between your children or sell them and just buy bits on when needed? It's always really interesting to get other peoples perspective on things.xx

    I never handed down the clothes because when I had my daughter 16 years ago :eek: I was quite happy with her being a only child so I got rid of her stuff when she outgrew them keeping special bits for her memory box then along came my son four years later and was told I wasn't to have any more children due to my pelvis issues so again I sold his stuff keeping special bits

    Then Kk came along 5 years ago and again told to not have any more tbh I was on birth control and it didn't work should have put a lottery ticket on at the point :rotfl: I'm not wanting any more so I sold kks stuff again keeping special bits for his memory box

    Morning :hello:

    Sent £25 from my avon money and £10.34 round down from my account towards the Halifax leaving me with £169.40 to clear before 5th August which is still doable as I have another £25 from the avon to put over once I've collected it today :T

    Can't believe it's August this week :eek::eek::eek:

    Working from 7.30am til 5pm today got a avon to deliver after I've finished with playgroup :D then it'll be lunch then nap time for the baby who's eating his breakfast at the moment so thought I would pop on :D

    Need to go and pay my avon invoice after the baby has gone home, hoping the weather stays nice as I have washing that need to go out today

    Got a pair of flashing shoes to put up for sale later hoping to get a fiver for them as they are in great condition so hoping to have a bit more to put towards the Halifax car :D

    Right off to get Kk up as we need to go set up playgroup xx
