Mum is having a Spring cleaning attack. She has been dragging out all sorts of stuff from the cupboards and from the spare room and either chucking them in the bin or selling them.
So far a treadmill, some clothes and a coffee set have disappeared out the door in the arms of complete strangers.
Mum has found this site on the computer which is like a garage sale but you don't have to have the stuff set out on the front lawn for people to come and comb through at six in the morning. You just put a picture up online and the people but things straight from there. Mum thinks it is very cool.
This morning a lady arrived at the door to pick up my big box of Lego bricks. It seems that I didn't want it anymore. As usual I wasn't consulted, but seeing as how I hadn't played with the Lego for like three years, I didn't complain.....and I got to keep the money!!! Bonus!!!
I now have orders to go through my closet to find clothes that don't fit anymore and that are still in really good condition. This is my chance to get rid of the hideous lime green flower-girl dress that I had to wear at my cousin's wedding. Mum put a photo of me wearing it (yuk!) into a silver frame. It sits on the shelf in the living room where everyone can see it. (yuk - again!) You have no idea how gruesome that dress is. It is all frills and flounces with puffy little sleeves- not my style at all. Anyone interested?
I might be really brave and sell my Mickey Mouse talking alarm clock. I have had it since I was two. Gran gave it to me for Christmas, I think. It looks like a train engine with Mickey driving it. When the alarm goes off it toots and Mickey says 'Wake up. Time to get up out of bed.' It is on the top shelf of my closet. I have a radio alarm clock now so I guess Mickey could be sold. Maybe.
Nah - Mickey's special - maybe next Spring.
