Also on the subject of ebay we went to take the recycling to Sainsbobs yesterday - our sainsbobs has as well as the usual suspects, Oxfam cloth recycling bins, plastic recycling and Oxfam book bank so its very convenient to take everything at once.

Very oddly people seem to leave random other things there as well - its not close to a car boot sale so its not items that didn't sell and anyway its usually mid week when we go. And these items are very random.

Quite often there are books in perfectly good condition posted in the cardboard recycling so we fetch these out and put them into the book bank - perhaps people don't notice a bright green bin.

Last week we found a marks and Spencers Christmas musical biscuit tin which is going to be my new sewing box.

Previously there was a new very long length of hose pipe so OH collected this and got connectors and he can now hose down the cars around the front of the house using the outside tap by the backdoor.

Also white straw baskets just left behind the bins, again new these now house the toiletries bits and pieces and these were perfect when the en suite was revamped.

Another time it was a collection of small children's models like the incredible hulk and my little pony which looked new but I washed them anyway and these will go into the Christmas shoe boxes.

Yesterday we found a brand new, unmarked dressmakers dummy so after a bit of dithering we took it apart and got it into the car and I can now use it to display clothing for ebay sales pics - I like to do them in the garden but most days its raining or windy so I end up not bothering to list anything as I cant get good photos - so this is a problem solved :j

I have a dummy I got from a shop closing down and its brilliant for EBay. My mother's neighbour died last year and her family threw all her books out in the recycling bin. I rescued them as a lot of them were very old books and after sorting through and putting a few to one side I took the rest to Cancer Reserach charity shop. The others i listed on Amazon and to date I have made £50.00 from them.

I've got nearly 30,000 and never had anything of interest at all:o

No one has mentioned the £5 off all dresses which appeared on my Sparks account today. Dresses start from £15......stuff you would use as a cover up on the beach etc

Bubbs.....what a weight loss....well done:T

I had a look in Marks today at these £15 dresses - well the website makes them look a bit better than they actually are - its the thin stretchy fabric - probably Ok if you are thin and lithe but not so much if you have lumps and bumps - even for coming off the beach.
There are a few maxis which seem to gave curtain cord as a belt.
Plus a few knee length versions with a nice scoop back - I think I am going to try one of these as I like the pattern.
Actually looking around the store some of the more expensive dresses have quite a Boden look.

Maxi dresses - Primark have a very pretty one, quite nice material a brown and white pattern and the length is good but it has an elastic waist which might be an issue depending on your shape - £6!
