levi: la vida loca

greyfox

Great minds think alike, Shyspender! Was having a look at covers when you snuck in!!

Levi-

I imagine a double would be plenty.. and come to think of it, something tells me that my mum has a spare double duvet in the loft at home, I'll remember to ask her about it as I'm going up soon an can collect it if so! Good call on the duvet covers too.. at the mo he just has something pretty hideous that I don't even know where it came from, old lady designs!:o

Levi-

totally random but anyone have a good suggestion of where i can get a super cheap (or free).. I can't think of the name of the thing.. like an box that contains expandable/suspension files so I can put all my documents of various subjects in there with the tab label thing at the top- what is this called? Lol.. I'm just getting bogged down by loads of paperwork on different matters and would like to tidy it all up. The Magic Shop didn't have this.. maybe car boot sales in the summer?

this is basically what i am getting at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Expanding-file-A4-fabric-black/dp/B000TK37YW/ref=sr_1_81?ie=UTF8&qid=1426957126&sr=8-81&keywords=filing+box

You might get one of these at the supermarket - our Mr T has quite a large stationery section, not too expensive. or "The Works" or possibly bay of E? Or Freecycle poss?

Rats! I gave one to a charity shop (not that one!) last year.

greyfox that one is perfect! I forgot about The Works and can go there in the week.. they will probably have it, or very similar in stock - loving the price It will feel good to organise my paperwork for sure. Getting some MUCH NEEDED tidying and housework done.. having a kid here has more or less tripled the amount of stuff in this place and I'm struggling for storeage so if my momentum is still going strong I'm gonna have a big RUTHLESS look at everything and see if there is anything else I can charity shop/sell/trash...:)

Levi-

Ooh, I may have found a SELL item that I didn't even remember I had :T

I had one of these custom made for me (back in the money days ) and I literally never used it and it still has the tag on (it went with a colour theme I had at the time but other things in the room changed and this didn't suit it). Mine was named ' Lime Rainbow' but is more or less the same as the aqua rainbow one shown on there.. I could put it on eBay or Gumtree.. I paid £40 for it - do you think it worth a try to sell it? Do people buy blankets? lol

Levi-

Now I'm gonna get the Ziffit app and see how much they will give me for my whole DVD collection. Who needs DVDs anymore?

SELL! SELL! SELL! :j

Levi I'm all in favour of you selling stuff to raise money but please don't sell your blankie . That could become the family blankie you cuddle under to watch scary films, have cuddles under when feeling sad, use as a picnic blanket - and pull over your head when it all gets too much :T.
