However, when you do manage to give away something to someone who really is in need, it's a great feeling.Plummy Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581505117908609291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-87502304388605329972011-09-25T22:33:52.351+01:002011-09-25T22:33:52.351+01:00Tell me about it!

My own son is only 6 months younger than her eldest. She gave me a whole bunch of stuff, clarcks shoes and good quality clothes. When she gave them to me I told her I would post them to her for her younger son once we were done with them. She told me not to bother, she'll just get new ones for him.Jen Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281659620915041416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-85935408280679555252011-09-25T10:29:27.286+01:002011-09-25T10:29:27.286+01:00I love getting hand me down clothes - we've ha...I love getting hand me down clothes - we've had some lovely things from friends who were only having one (so had bought very very nice bits) and the nicer stuff seems to last longer.

We had plants inside, empty floorspace, bookshelves filled with novels! <br />I've always sold (and bought) baby clothes on eBay. If you time it right (ie. auction to end in the evening when people are at home), some prices are really high. And bundle things together with one 'big ticket' item and a few extras. <br />x RhiRhi@FlourChildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970799811800725500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-52529101119863657532011-09-24T23:33:17.923+01:002011-09-24T23:33:17.923+01:00Age 3 is the watershed isn't it, maybe because...Age 3 is the watershed isn't it, maybe because clothes often don't last beyond one child? Whenever I'm in a charity shop there are very few baby/kids items in general, which surprises me. At the baby sales too, clothes for older children are hard to come by - last time I just about found a coat size 5 (Cubling is tall).cartsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443437791014670129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804194858842522280.post-79105479538382817232011-09-24T21:53:11.002+01:002011-09-24T21:53:11.002+01:00I totally agree.

We just moved in in March and are already bursting!<br /><br />As for clothes though, boys clothes are so hard to get secondhand after age 3 or so. It must be a combo of there just being less clothes for bots in circulation and the fact they can be more readily handed down to siblings of either gender. I do scour the charity shops for them though!!Kat @slugshttp://www.slugsontherefrigerator.comnoreply@blogger.com
