    well ive just bought a new kitchen well second hand once an mser or miser£450 wooden doors fridgefreezer hob oven all in good nick .
    so i will be bootsaleing sat and sun if weather allows ,going to rake up the loft as i believe there is gold in there really but should you sell the gifts from your hubby when he is 1 still alive and 2 still living with you lol.

    surf i had a look at home parties but i think you have to work in a big workplace to cut it and often someone else already does it such as avon partylite .have to say one of last years dribblers has taken to avon and now does it regularly.

    i often find 99p stuff on localbargain ebayfinder and punt it at the bootsales but you need to cost up for travel ect .

    there is also local auctions round here and i know that the regular bootsales people go there and take a punt on job lots hope that helps

  • Thanks Elly. How do you search for local bargains? Is it just by putting in key search words?

    I got a job today. I'm going to be doing an apprenticeship in Business and Administration at National Minimum Wage which is £5.93 and £6.08 once October hits. I start on the 22nd :) Am really looking forward to it (even though I have to go out and buy loads of new 'smart' clothes). I'm really pleased because I think this will set me up with a good start in life and once I've done the apprenticeship (hopefully) I'll be earning a decent wage so I will be able to afford my house sooner than later :) Yipeeeee.

    Congrats :)
    Both Sainsburys and Tescos have got sales on at present, alot of their skirts, trousers, tops, shirts could be ideal for you. Even if only to start you off until you see some other stuff

    chelt i would also consider bigging up sainsburys a bit more ,fruit from discounted section and there price promise on your 5 a day you could claim to be on a diet and how the market is good for fruit however not open every day so better access .
    also triple points boost so used nectar points for school items which you guessed it on special at the minute .
    bbq stuff reduced chairs ect what a bargain sainsburys rule in the bury household something like that hope this helps might be crap though lol

    Thanks if I can fit it all in I may go and have a look :T
