Why are fitflop boots good for those with poor circulation please?
They force you to walk differently. Also, with the mukluks and the enclosed looser boots, the soles are quite thick, your feet are quite far away from the ground, so you don't get the cold so much from the floor....sounds a bit weird, but true

May I recommend Gumtree and Facebook marketplace for selling stuff, I've just shifted a shed load between those 2, no listing fees & if someone wants an item posted you can have a common sense discussion & charge what it is actually costing rather than what eBay thinks
Well done on the progress so far- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted

What is he hoping to buy?
His big brother is into a trading card game, and he wants a deck of his own. Christmas is too long to wait apparently :eek:. It’s £17 so he already has enough, and hopefully the rest will make it into his piggy bank for now.

Hi Trix, good ideas. I’ve just asked to join a local FB selling page, so will be trying stuff on there too. All his learn to read book sets have sold to friends with younger kids and have been collected already :T. He’s sat there caressing his money :rotfl:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

We’ve been awarded a respite break grant of up to £1k :j. Just need to decide where to go :j. Really chuffed.
And here was me thinking today was a good day just because I saved £2.50 on diesel by using a 10p off a litre voucher. It got a whole lot better.
A magazine I follow on Facebook were asking for photos of pets in snow for their winter special. I put a photo of Oakley on from last year and they private messaged me saying they were going to submit it to the Editor. If it’s agreed by him/her it’ll be printed in the magazine and I’ll get £25.
