    Craft stuff generally sells quite well.  You could put it in bigger bundles so you have fewer parcels to post.
    Thanks jwil. 
    Happy Friday 😊 Only you could be tempted to spend by watching a budget person 😆
    Only WW🤔 ahem

    You could have kept your head down mf 🤣
    WinterWarrior -  I'm a bit like you, I don't feel right having people collect, so I gave a lot of craft stuff (mostly card making) to one of the of the local residential homes.

    That’s nice Nanny. I have hundreds and hundreds of pounds worth of stuff, I feel partly like I should keep it just in case and partly that it’s some money and/or space I could get back. 
    A quote from a YouTube person that made me think…
    Look around….all that stuff used to be money…and all that money used to be time 
    Very thought provoking!

  • Oooh and all that stuff is now costing you both in that it's reducing in value the older it gets and taking you time to clean it.

    I love that you over estimate my cleaning mojo by about 100% 🤭

    @elbree the news is awful isn’t it. And your 8yo will know she has your full support and kindness, you can’t change how your ex acts, but at least she doesn’t have to deal with him 100% of the time.
    @moving_forward scampi are the best! Nice n spicy are ok, but the last to be eaten in a multi pack here. I really want chocolate cake now! 
    Thanks @WinterWarrior. That hadn't occured to me before and I find it very comforting 🥰

    In other news I went to the pub last night to split a bottle of red with a friend and feel sad. On the way home I bought a big bag of Space Raiders and they were SO good. Now need to make sure I don't develop a habit 😂

  • @peb either would be acceptable! I am old enough to remember chutney outer spacers! They weren’t blown up with air in the olden days and were the best! We could buy them at our first school…they also sold biscuits separately to have with our free school milk 😁 I don’t think I’m ancient until I realise the 70’s was like a different planet for some things 🤣

    I don't remember chutney flavour.  I do remember them being 5p a packet though.
