Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Update for the last week or so:
Make do: Borrowed a lovely turquoise scarf from my mum to wear to a funeral rather than buy a new one.
Mend: Glued 3 out of 4 legs back onto a dolls house chair. Bit messy but at least all parts are back together. Mum also used the glue to try and repair 2 pairs of shoes. I guess only 1 pair was successful as later I saw the others in the bin!
Minimise: A box of books sold to online book company for nearly £24! Second box ready to pack and despatch hopefully for another £20+. Very helpful at the minute as i'm on unpaid sick leave for 2 weeks.
Box of glass/china items and bag of other items ready to go to CS.
A box of glass/china items ready to take to my friend in Germany when i visit in the summer. Mind you, depends on weight allowance!
