I've decided to get rid of my breadmaker as it never gets used and is taking up a large amount of space in one of my kitchen cupboards. Should I try to sell it on netmums and if so how much for? Or should I just put it on on freegle which means it will be gone today?

hi, i'd like to jon please, recently moved out so dont have cluttered cupboards etc yet but still plenty of stuff to sort in boxes and still at parents! would like to get in good habits before bad ones start! lol

I'm not sure anyone gave this poster a tree yet...so is it ok if a new person does it?

:xmastree: ieimimiai you get a tree so that you get noticed and then you'll get a PM with more explanation.

welcome.

Good morning everyone,
Dining room here is also ROD. But kitchen could also do with a good clear up.
Thanks for the lists - even if I don't keep up properly.
Always think 'when we get to the holidays I'll do it!' Then the holidays come and I'm tired!!!!
Must get myself into gear today and make a difference.
Hugs to all in need, Silver x

Anyone can give a tree! Fancy asking because you're 'new' - you're on the list there's no escape now - you have to stay for ever!:rotfl:

I suppose I'd better get dressed. Anyone fancy a HHC at 9?

JulieJim - Things like breadmakers go really fast on Freecycle. But I would be sorely tempted to make it the small appliance that needs a thorough clean and get a few pounds for it.

I will join you for an HHC btw but will start 10 mins early as we need to be out by 9.30

First I need to get dressed as we are heading off for half term haircuts at 9.30.

Haircut today for job trial, was trying to grow it, but will need to get it chopped, woke up like a major Elvis impersonator this morning:rotfl:

Is that Uri Gellar? If it is then that explains everything!

Off to do the ironing that dried overnight...

I'll happily join in that HHC!

Chicken cooling (need to take it out of the pot in a moment so it cools quicker), split pea soup cooking (split peas, veg from lamb stock and boiled chicken, water). I have a horrible feeling that by the end of the week the freezers will be fuller and the kitchen filthy! But at least if I cook the stuff in the freezer and have it all portioned up I'll be able to cope when the travel starts.

Need to remember to get in touch with people to socialise too
