Time to be completely honest

Just popping in to say hi! It seems we've al been havng a splurge!! Possibly the end of the jan blues catching up on us? Like you I struggle with the ebay stuff...think I'll do a car boot instead when the weather improves...got lots of silly bits to go in but loathe to just give them away! Must get on with my cj entry!

Been inspired with the scrapbooking - going to do some more tonight (of my own photos - wow!!! finally!!) and use up some of the wonderful stash I have. I've decided to only buy necessities (like glue!) until at least 3/4 of it is gone and then I can purchase some more stuff in sales guilt free - but need to do some car booting/ebaying/selling in order to do this.

I've started sorting out what is worth ebaying and then I'll get rid of the rest of the clutter

I'm wanting to do some more tonight as relaxation.

Been talking to b-i-l's now x-gf and she's in a right state. So I'm going to go down to London on friday night (tried to get cheap tickets but not possible) so will be driving. . I'll stay there til monday and come back.

I'm trying to think of practical things I can do to help. I don't have any spare money really that I can give her so want to be as helpful as possible in other ways. Because he earns a shed load every month, she has loads of clothes and other bits nad bobs so I'll offer to help her go through and see what still has the tags on that could be taken back for vouchers or cash if she still has receipts (probably not). She doesn't have a job and so has no income - she'll be sorting all that next week.

I'm searching on the web for more ideas - she has loads of kids clothes, but apart from ebaying which I just don't think she's in the right place at the mo to be coping with all that, I'm a little stuck. She seriously has LOADS of 'stuff' and she's admitted she has a problem with getting rid of it. I'm hoping that showing her that she could get cash from it might help.

I don't know what else to help with. Obviously I'll be there for a chat and tlc, but I'm best with practical things I think.

Oh I don't know. I'm probably just blathering on anyway.

Right, had a good sort through some more stuff - think I do have enough for a car boot

Also I've found 2 grobags that I can ebay as they should sell well as they have done before

Just need to sort the rest out now!

Hi Sea :wave:

That's so nice of you to go to London to help her - I'm sure she will really appreciate it. Helping her with practical things will be more valuable to her in the long term than giving her money anyway.

Oooh, do Grobags sell well? I have one that Natasha is just about to grow out of....although it's a Disney one, not an actual Grobag brand one.

Sea78

Have a look on the completed listings - they do sell, but not sure if non-grobag ones do. However, I'm sure if you included grobag in the title, it'd flag up more interest anyway

Snaggles

I will do, thanks. Hope yours sell well. I really should get around to doing more ebaying.

aww did long post its gone...:( in short - lovely of you to go & assist, will be doing my cj this w/e but no more stash for me!!

Sea78

Shame the long post went. I'm racking my brain to think of other things I can help her with this weekend but mind gone blank! I mentioned the things I wrote about in my post above and she said it was all really good ideas - so that's nice.

Now just waiting for her call again. Concerned. I'll be forcing her to eat as well as by the sound of it she's not eating anything.
