My DD2 used to do this when her kids were little. She'd take out stuff that she could use for her boys and then anything which didn't fit she'd bundle up with her youngest's outgrown clothes and put back on Ebay!dawnybabes said:You can buy bundles of kids of kids clothes quite cheap on eBay, I didn’t have anyone to hand my DS clothes to so used to sell as a bundle on there, much less hassle than listing / posting individually.

I have occasionally bought ds clothes bundles on eBay.
Another thing I like about my children wearing 2nd hand clothes I didn't stress about them potentially getting dirty or ruining their brand new clothes.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent
79.5 coupons rolled over 4/75.5 coupons spent - using for secondhand purchases

I regularly buy second hand clothes for mine, they are usually in excellent condition, and as Bailey's Babe says, I don't worry about them getting damaged or dirty.

Ive only spent £40 on clothes for my daughter this year, all on ebay. Two massive bundles of spring and summer clothes with much better brands than I would have been able to afford to buy if they were new.
Bottom line;
£49k paid off
Car HP paid off
Debt Free!
Saved Escape fund and moved out.
Current focus; saving Emergency fund2 -
Hey!
ive had a lazy couple of days, I’ve not been feeling too god, really dodgy stomach and super tired, not sure what’s up.We were supposed to exchange on the house yesterday but the solicitor couldn’t get hold of the landlord, slightly worrying! We’re still set to complete abs exchange either today or tomorrow, but I could do without the extra stress of wondering if it actually will get done. Have a free day today. Not sure what to do though. Should sort stuff etc. But I just want to be in the sun and spending time with OH as well don’t have many days off together and he’s away next week again.3 -
Ooh, exciting Missy! All fingers and toes crossed for you here, hope it all goes through as planned xx2

Hey @jwil
YES! We finally did it, we bought a house, we completed today! First time I have owned (along with the bank of course) a house in 21 years! It feels so amazing.
I cried when the message came through that we’d finally completed. This has been such a long time coming. Throwing every spare penny into the house deposit pot.I feel like a weight has been lifted.Thank you all for being there for me through my journey to getting to this point.10 -
