Too skint to go shopping?

SELL , SELL, SELL so you can BUY MORE CLOTHES!!

Having two small children; nursery costs; a ski holiday looming and a damp problem in our flat (that’s likely to prove expensive) it’s difficult to justify spending money on myself.

I have therefore come up with a plan to buy clothes guilt free!

I am systematically clearing out stuff I really don’t need and/or no longer have the room for in order to generate income for clothes!! Genius don’t you think?

E-Bay is so easy and I have already sold our birth pool for £50. We may or may not decide to have another baby but you know what, if we do we can just buy a second hand birth pool for the same price. Added advantage being that we don’t have to store the bloody thing in the meantime!

I have since bought, for £49.00 (so already made a saving!) these shoes which I’ve had my eye on:




I am now in the process of selling a pushchair; an Isabella Oliver maternity coat and my Wii fit (totally unused I’m afraid to say). I have my eye on a number of things, top of the list being a pair of jeans as most of mine have now worn through on the knee! I know what you’re thinking but the husband’s not to blame (shame!) – it’s clearing up after the kids!  

What have you got stored away which you really don’t need? Guaranteed someone does so why not sell and blow the money on a guilt free shopping trip!
