I'm thinking £3 at least and then if they don't sell well you could do a promo of 2 pairs for £5. People love a bargain.

Some are raffle prizes, some orders, and the left overseas are for some children I know who need a little cheer up.
Thanks everyone. X

DH is being brilliant, as usual. I am so desperately proud of him (I am always) but even more so as he stepped up yesterday to protect a young woman from a rather nasty incident. Now he has yet another addition to his groupies!😍
I had a lazy late start to my day but made up for it by helping DH to declutter undies, socks, track pants, jeans and caps. The amount of socks he had, you would think I married a centipede! CS don’t accept so will be contacting homeless charity in case they are of use to them.
DH cooked Cajun burgers from freezer today, goodness they were Spicey.
DFriend came with more laundry and annoyance as her washing machine won’t be done now until Monday.
Dealt with another load of emails and decluttered all our inboxes, still have lots to go. I do have a hatred of full inboxes.Inventoried one freezer this afternoon.
Photographed more to list on selling sites.
A “bitty” day but at least some stuff gone done.Have a good night all, sweet dreams xx

@Willowtree222 they are lovely and how fab to cheer some children up.…
So i'm still in the process of making the house messier but have faith or trying to that it will at some point look much better.
Bowl and 2 brushes out, some garden waste and paper. Some frogs but they are breeding too quickly.

Thursday was a cloudy day with a high of 22°C, low of 11°C & a S wind making it feel 1° cooler. Forgot to mention the other reason yesterday went downhill - a letter from Devon & Cornwall police re speeding on our recent trip 😞 DH has a choice of a fine & points or a speed awareness course 😔 Recycling wheelie bin emptied this morning - on time. Wrote a shopping list for DH. He & DSis went shopping at 14:00 & back by 15:40. Shopping put away. Dinner was pork steaks, mash, carrots & green beans. Wudupa. A beautiful sky tonight all blue & pink - gorgeous 😍
1601 - 1604 Kitchen recycling, newspaper, plastic bottle, drinks cans - recycled
1605 Kitchen detritus binned
Lovely cheerleading Florenceem ☺️ Sorry to hear about your SAD diagnosis 😔 Just wondering if you have one of those special light lamps 🤔 More beautiful cushions 😍 Fingers crossed that once the handle is reattached & the paint has had a few more hours to dry there will be no more ‘sticking’ 🤞
Green_hopeful, oops 😅
2Scratters, when we had our kitchen renovated (cannot believe it was 10+ years ago) we had a similar issue. In the end we kept the Bosch washer/dryer which we had only had about a year. Unfortunately due to its size it protrudes slightly so is less than aesthetically pleasing 😞 but hey ho 😉
daisy_1571, what a great idea 👏
Yorkie1, lovely offer ☺️
suzeesu2000, very generous of you 😇 I suppose you ‘could’ ask your neighbour 😉🙊 Well done on more sales 👏 & good luck with the rest of your listings 🍀
weenancy, love it 😻 especially as Florenceem is raising funds for the SA 🥹
Florenceem, gorgeous mittens 😍 love the colours 😊
Excellent work TC77 especially dealing with frogs 👏 A medal 🏅is on its way. Thanks for the information about hazardous chemicals 👏
Florenceem, I like your plans for the garage ☺️
vulpix, you have been busy 👏 I love how well you look after yourself hostas 😊 This “I spoke to DGS on the phone today, he is just 3. He told me he had been shopping with his Grandpa to Marks n spensive 🤣” is absolutely priceless 😂 out of the mouths of babes 🙊
Unsuccessful again 😞 Sleep tight 😴

Mrs SD thank you for my medal , a boost to my motivation. Doing a surface tidy so it doesn't feel so overwhelming.
It looks good weather here and hoping everyone has as sunny and positive day as positive. Hope to make progress and report back!

Willowtree222 - beautiful work.
Only 3 months to Christmas day!
I had a bad night - I got up in case young J arrives - may have to fit in a nanna nap.
Bright and sunny here today.
Finished the last of the cushions - 17 made.
