    In - 2 school dresses from freecycle for DD1 (well they were free!):confused:

    Out - small slide, small trike, bouncing tigger (all to younger children on our street):j

    To go - 12 bin bags of assorted carp

    Ebay - doesnt count as i've stopped listing as some horrid woman left me negative feedback on my unblemished record, and i had no comeback at all, she has now sent me an email claiming that my stuff was bad quality:mad:

    At least am managing to get rid of stuff to people that will use it before we move, just half a garage worth of carp to get rid of lol. Mind you, most of it is flat packed boxes that we can put back together and use for the move!
