    Hey, can I join please?

    I've just begun purchasing my first home, and while the deposit and fee money is in place it's all happened a little too soon to gather the funds for furnishing the bloomin' place! :rotfl:

    So I shall put myself down for £10 per day in order to buy me a washing machine (ROCK....AND......ROLL!!)

    Good luck to everybody xx

    Almost made my target last month, will try again for £5 a day this month.

    Got a few listing on ebay finishing Sunday from last weekends free listing so hopefuly this will give me a good start (although no offers as yet, I have watchers :j).

    Still lots of baby clothes to get rid off, no one on facebook wants them so if ebay goes well they can go on there, just hate wrapping & posting stuff !! If not I may try gumtree, otherwise running out of ideas.

    I WILL (I WILL , I WILL) do a car boot this month also, was unable last month as have had acute sciatica, but fingers crossed am getting better. Someone kick me mid month if I have not been to car boot!!

    Nice to see so many people back for another month, you all do so well, one day I will catch up with you all!!

    How baby is the baby stuff? Newborn stuff could be bundled together in small bundles for new baby gifts? Bought my sister a new born starter kit when she had her son - had like sleep suit, baby grow, hat, mitts and bib in it. Cost an arm and a leg but the shop said they sell loads because its an ideal gift. Maybe you could do that? More interest and gets a few bits shifted at a time?

    Google printing on onesies. As its a bit of a fad thing at the minute to have custom/printed rompers etc for little ones. So you could practice a little and then sell ones like that on eBay, etsy or facebook?

    Or if they're bigger toddler stuff ( 4 + ) I'd be interested in a bundle lol. My little monkey does nothing but grow! :O

    Also check facebook, you may have a for sale group for your area. Runs the same as a car boot but from warmth of your home and no postage costs or selling costs. You just pop some picks on and a price or open to offers around £X then when someone says yes you arrange collection/delivery/to meet somewhere. I'm always buying and selling bits that way :)

    Many thanks, I tried face book but no joy, maybe asking to much. I have 0-3 left and 12-18months 2 big boxes full!! The rest are on ebay. I may try the little bundles on newborn stuff .

    I know what you mean my little terror is only 17 months old and already in 18-24, I actually cant believe when I sorted through all his clothes that he has had approx. 5 bin bag full in his little life (Mostly donated and bought for him by others !)
