With children in the house we have clothes that are either too small or too large and these have been stored in one pile in our big bedroom; until this week. I’ve sorted through the pile of bags and boxes and cleared the whole corner of the room. All the clothes that are too big are now in a plastic storage box under the cot and I’ve removed:
- 1 bag of baby grows and bibs passed to a friend expecting a baby soon
- 2 UV suits, swimming trunks and wet suit passed to the same friend (yes that is a wetsuit for 1 year old)
- 2 bags of mine and ED’s clothes put in the fabric bank
- pair of curtains (left by the previous owners) put in the fabric bank
- several old screwed up paintings by B binned (why did we move them?)
There is still a fairly big pile of children’s clothes left, so as we have friends coming to our house this weekend, I was thinking of creating two rummage boxes so people can help themselves to anything they want. I will then put the remaining items in the fabric bank.
How do you deal with the clothes you no longer want?
I used to give them to you!! Think a pair of those swimming shorts were T’s! Tried NCT Sale.. A faff to label everything, tried Facebook local group but that meant checking phone all the time, arranging a collection time etc so currently loads in our loft! Will consider what to do when/if the loft is converted! Will no doubt pass some more things on to a couple of friends as they have boys too.
Well we’re still here if you want to pass on more clothes (girls and boys), we can even return them if you like having them in your loft! Perhaps if you emptied your loft a bit you may convert it sooner 😉
I’m glad I’ve been able to show you the swimming trunks are being passed on to a good home.
