Haven't managed to get on and update, but have been keeping busy!

I went to a nearly new sale this morning, and someone was selling boxes of clothing for £1.50 each. I bought 3 in 6-9 months girls, and although I couldn't see what was in them, I thought as long as I got a couple of outfits I'd be happy at that price. Well when I opened them, there was loads of Next, John Lewis, Jojo Maman Bebe etc! So for my £4.50 I got:

14 pairs trousers
4 skirts
4 shorts
10 tops
10 dresses
3 coats
5 dungarees
3 pairs shoes

Not bad :T :T

My declutter list looks really boring lol. It's because all the good stuff goes on ebay

What a bargain on the clothes and you'll probably sell them on for a profit xx

They will get used first, but hopefully will still be good enough to sell once little miss grows out of them.

Hey everyone

I've been plodding along but have a poorly little miss, so seem to be in and out of the docs at the moment!

I have continued with lots of listing and some sales. Am trying to get some more on today. I'm also trying to catch up with surveys as well.

I had a massive clear out of paperwork so have put loads out for recycling, and shredded loads. Still got some shredding to do and to organise what I've kept. But I've emptied a filing cabinet and also another crate. I think that's most of it, but might still have some tucked away somewhere.

That was so tedious, but I'm glad it's done!

The van is filling up with car boot stuff so am contemplating (subject to weather, children etc) spending most of Easter weekend car booting. There should be one I can go to on Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. All are in different locations so it's not like we will be showing the same stuff to the same people all of the time. Then we would be able to decide on which stuff to get rid of so we have room for more

DH is still clearing stuff. Not as fast as I'd like , but it's progress.

I've just made a small payment. Still hoping to pay Council Tax and Water bill for the year at the end of the month, so trying to keep money back for that. It will make the rest of the year much easier if I can manage it.

Hope everyone is well

Today's payment:

1.[STRIKE]£384[/STRIKE] - £199C1

4.[STRIKE]£263[/STRIKE] -£262 HA

Total: [STRIKE]£5573[/STRIKE] - £4591

Wow. Thats some haul from the NS Sale. Well done.

The declutter list does NOT look boring. Its looks VERY impressive. Daunting for those of us trying to keep up!! And yes, if you can stomach it then think that hitting the Car Boots in one weekend is a good idea, although I wouldn't bother if the weather is dodgy. Am sure it massively adversely affects customer numbers.

Sorry re Little Miss. Hope she gets better soon and belated HB to Master Jwil.

Good luck with your carboots.

Thanks Brizzle

I do have rather more clutter than most though

I find if the weather is a bit iffy then people will go out to buy rather than sell, so you can sell loads as there's not so much choice. If it's rubbish weather though then it's not worth it at all.

Thanks tattycath, it would be nice to see the back of some stuff!
