I am currently of the opinion that keeping the items to give away as presents is fine, but selling them is 'bad juju'
Luckily two of the items I really wanted for myself so I am profiting in a small way All the other items I can to a certain extent think of people who would like them.
I haven't added the value of the items to my wombling total just yet, but when/if I do that would be a nice boost to it.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

Florence How interesting. Someone must have messed up though as can't see how they would ever have that as their policy. I think I'd be worried that they'd want the money back tbh...." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D
