Hello All

New to the thread but hope it's ok to join in. I'm looking more for a motivation to save rather than clear debt as at the moment I only have £400 on a cc as debt. This will be cleared in the next couple of months and was only put on a card as I knew it would be cleared off quickly.
So any motivation you can give me to make me stop spending and get something saved would be great. I have also counted up my coin jar and at the moment there's £30 in there so will keep that as a sealed pot.
I would love the coin purse pattern if it's still available? Sorry can't remember who posted it, I've just read through the whole of this thread and the names are starting to blur.

RE the selling bras, I've done that quite a few times, always check that they are in a reasonable condition and try and describe them in as much detail as possible. Any defects, make sure you list them clearly such as slightly greyed etc. I find that they go rather well.

Welcome to the savers club I'm in it too. :j:T

Welcome aboard
I'm going to make the pattern today However, have just realised I don't have any a4 paper to scan the pattern piece into the computer with eep! So I shall take all the photos and scan the pattern piece when I get down to my parents to finish the pdf later Although in the meantime I made my pattern following this guide here, which might be of use to anyone that doesn't want to wait

I should say the other thing that goes well on ebay is maternity wear, sold all mine after each kid and got back a good wedge of what I paid for them

Thanks, I'll give that a go when baby #2 pops out!
