Finally managed to do a good deal of decluttering. Emptied 3 wardrobes of clothes that I haven't really worn in the past few years as well as all my maternity clothes - a wardrobe in themselves.
I have two suitcases and 2 black bags of boy's clothing, my first born had so much given to him that i've had to bag up most of it as we have little space. My newborn has also been given much and i've taken a few of the things that DS1 had that i really liked and left the rest.
Have gone through some books too but am wondering where to draw the line. As far as clothes are concerned I really hadn't worn that many of them, partly because of 2 pregnancies in a row and partly because they just don't suit me - i have been a bit of a buy it on a whim type of person in the past and having two small children has made me want to be very organised in everything especially having just a few outfits to hand that fit me, look nice, are comfy and clean. What i'm saying is, although i've gotten rid of 3 wardrobes full and haven't much left there wasn't really much point in keeping it all and thus shouldn't feel guilty should i? Part of me feels v.liberated and the other half thinks 'oh dear!' Plan to build wardrobe up slowly and started last week ordering the basics.
Now after rambling on here is my question: Should i be selling my clothes on ebay or in a carboot sale, we have one planned for this weekend but am wondering if all these clothes will sell, may look like a bit of shop rather than a stand if you see what i mean. Problem with ebay is don't have the time to take photo's and monitor etc.. although all clothes have been washed and most are ironed...
I have books on my bookshelves (best friends guides and lots of baby books) that i haven't really read since pregnancy one and although i don't intend to read them anymore It feels strange to be parting with so much at one time - but God knows when i'll have the time and energy to do another carboot.
Should i be ruthless and get rid of it all?
Any suggestions for a carboot sale pls?
Any tips? Should i label prices or just make up as i go along. Would you buy almost new maternity clothes and used in a carboot sale? I have clothes racks and all my clothes are really presentable.
Thanks for all the tips etc..
