Pay Off Before Lay Off!

Hi there, it sounds is if today was less vomity, which can only be a good thing!

I can't wait to streamline my wardrobe. It's something I intend to do in January, as there won't be much that can be done in the garden at that time.

My work clothes will go of course, but I'm going to look at everything. If it no longer fits, or I don't wear it, or don't like it, it's going to go, either via eBay, charity or recycling. The idea is to have a wardrobe of clothes that I actually wear..... But I expect I'll still wear the same few outfits!

Still in the preparation phase - only found out the other day that I would be doing it, so lots of honing and refining required.

Will prob post it on about the 26/27th. Tho if I 'finish' it before that I may just pop it up - otherwise I might forget!!!

That explains why I haven't tracked it down then! Will happily join in (and remind you to post it if needed)! x

To be honest Goldie, I threw up on the backdoor stoop after plodding up the garden with the hens' lunchtime mash, I was just sparing the detail! Still, much easier to clean up outdoors!

That's another whole aspect to look forward to, creating a "you" wardrobe, rather than a work wardrobe! My mum seems to sell a lot of her old clothes on Fleabay but I'm not sure I have the strength for all that individual item listing, and if you list as bundles the cost of the heavy postage tends to put people off, so I'm still considering what to do with my decluttered garments, as well as the books. I should probably just bite the bullet and do a boot sale whilst the weather's still ok!

Hope you've had a good day today. x

Join me HBBBO I am doing a car boot on Sunday, with my usual pricing structure : 10p, 50p, £1, £2, £5 no bargaining take it or leave it. Everything that is left goes to the charity shop on Monday . Gets rid of a load of "treasures" with much less hassle than EBay and after fees and postage plus hassle ebay isn't worth it for me for less than £10 per item.

Lovely to see you B*W, chipping in is most welcome! Mr. Hbbb has tried the courgette flowers at a posh birthday do earlier in the year and said they're delicious. He tried it at home but we don't have a deep fryer and actually never deep fry anything so not enough oil in the house! As a result they had a kind of frying pan sizzle for a bit before he ate it, which he declared ok, but I wasn't convinced enough to try too!

Grating them is an excellent idea for adding interest to lentil bake (our veggie version of shepherd's pie)... I usually layer them in there but I like the idea of adding the texture to the lentils, thanks for that! x

Oooh I'm so pleased that I have given a helpful idea to someone else Glad I could help :T

Glad to hear Mr Hbbb can recommend courgette flowers - cheers!

Hope you are feeling better x

Sounds like an excellent plan Toots, I know what you mean about it being less hassle than the old auction malarkey.

The trouble is that I'd need Mr Hbbb as driver (I still can't drive at the mo) and he's busy with plans over the next couple of weekends.

Love your pricing structure though, will share that with my mum if she's doing any more this season. Good luck with yours, I hope the weather holds for you! x

Bookworm, I grated courgette into the bean chilli we had this week and it was lovely! When I had it as refried beans with a wrap yesterday it was particularly lovely as it really did add texture. Very glad of the tip!

Thanks for good wishes, am muddling by ...! x
