We're having a clear out

In order to accommodate the office back at home we are having a reckoning with our stuff. We also cleared the garage out so that we could help out some friends who are moving - we have the entire contents of a 3 bed house in there just now - plus a few boxes of Robin's Mum's and her piano in the house that we are looking after!

It has been a surprise to see just how many items of furniture are actually cluttering up the place, rather than serving a useful purpose. There are plenty of other things too which are just needing to be got rid of. A family sure can acquire stuff FAST! Plus kids grow out of a stage or phase and you're left with baby stuff you no longer use, or toys that are no longer used.

We're considering the best way to sell all this stuff, whether it be on Daily Info, a yard sale, boot sale or maybe even Ebay for the odd item.

All will be a bit clearer when the office stuff is all back here and we know exactly what items have to stay, and what has to go. I guess I'll keep y'all posted.

THank you for the Sylvannian house, it has been much loved by our kids and many visiting children already.

If you want to pass anything on/ do a swop for the holidays I'll happily send the boys round!

Heather told me about freecycle.co.uk where you can get rid of things that aren't worth selling, or you'd rather give away. I keep getting re-directed to a search engine every time I try to go there but maybe it's worth a look?

Yes, we know about freecycle - we've used it before. And I highly recommend it.

This time though we are looking to sell items to raise a little cash, and because the things we have are in good order.

(I think I have a trike for your little man still though Mrs T.)

Haven't used freecycle yet myself, but the site is freecycle.org and it sounds like a fab idea, i'm off to have a look now!
