Springdreams - Luckly we dont need a blazer, don't envy you with that one - ditto with the adult sizes, makes me laugh how a size makes the difference..... Come Aug/Sept - there be sales war
Were having 2 weeks up in North Wales, with mum, dad and dog, - bit different from our earlier travels, but still be great.
xxxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
We started the great task of decluttering DDs bedroom... started and gave up after the wardrobe... but have a bag to try to sell on f/b sellers, a bag for charity and new school jumper for old school - which take in to see if they want for a spare at school.
All got left my room to sort - is bedroom draws and the chair...
Then DDs room considering she has the smallest room, - feels like she has the most stuff! xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -

Well done on the progress you have made in decluttering things.
As regards the amount of stuff your DD has, that seems to be the way with children. They always seem to have much more stuff than the rest of the household. I convinced my DS to part company with stuff he wanted to hold onto by introducing him to car booting - he doesn't mind parting with his stuff if he gets paid hard cold cash for it - he bought himself an xbox one with the proceeds of selling his stuff last summer at car boots:money:
Have a lovely time in Wales.Smiles are as perfect a gift as hugs...
..one size fits all... and nobody minds if you give it back.☆.。.:*・° Housework is so much easier without the clutter ☆.。.:*・°SPC No. 5180 -
Madam likes car booting thou she likes to spend it as well. We did pretty good with the clothes order sports direct Just got 1 pr of football boots don't fit they were £8 but cost me more to send back so be f/b sellers, asda - was 2 out of 4 the skirts fit th trousers same size won't go near her at least they go back to store. Off to cineMa later got a Bogof so helps the pennies xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
