    In other news I got some shoes from Vinted. BRand new with tags.  Unfortunatly they absolutly reek of smoke. :mad:
    Bitterly dissapointed.
    Could you give them a good blast with neutradol spray or similar and leave them outside for a few days? That should get rid of the worst of it.

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Hope the cleaning of the vinted shoes works and the License plate comes back ok.

    I just picked up a vinted dress today and it smelt wonderfully clean.
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    I find Vinted is either fabulous or dire. Glad your dress was wonderfully clean.

    Can the shoes go on the line?    I used to work in a nightclub pre smoking ban and everything reeked of smoke so the following morning (to tired when I got in at 3 am) I would put things on the line and a blow throw shifted it.   Just outside should work.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
