    Not sure how to display the baby bits though? Maybe on a rail as well, what do people think?

    If you can borrow some clean 'heras fence' mesh panels then you can hang things from it on hangers (skirt hangers with clips are useful) or clothespegs.

    You can even use skirt hangers to hang vinyl records from mesh.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    I think your prices are spot on - if you price too cheap people may think something is wrong with it.

    When I price my kids clothes up for car boots I put a label over the top of the hangar with the make, size and price on (cornflake box cut up into strips/fold over cut out diamond shape to slip over the top of the hangar and sellotape or staple the bottom closed).

    Good luck on the day. I wish my sons school would do something like this - all they ever do is have four non uniform days where we donate different things each week (bottles, toiletries, stationery etc) and then the headteacher sells it back to us in the form of a raffle at £1.00 a go. You usually end up spending best part of £20.00 and come back with a few bottles of squash and cheap Poundland type toys from the lucky dip which fall apart on coming through the door.

    Take anything decent out and eBay it. I made £1500 from school jumble doing this- previous year it was £1500 total- this year 2.9k. The buyers will only be ebaying it and so you might as well do it yourself

    July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550
