Summer Fun, Scrapbooking and Selling Stuff

August 6, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

It's gone a little quiet over here at my virtual home. The same can't be said for my IRL (in real life) home. School's out and there's some summer fun going on. As an advocate of scheduling the holidays (even PJ days get allocated!) there hasn't been opportunity for the Kids to get bored, or for me to blog much. But that's okay. Summer break from school ...

Getting Caught Up In The Mechanics

May 14, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

I've an admission. Remember the Spring Sale 2012? It started 8th May. Just over 12 months ago. My aim - to generate £600 through the sale of unwanted, unloved, unneeded things. I failed. A recent tally, to date, shows the actual amount generated was just over £500. Why did I fail? The theory behind the experiment was sound, in my opinion. I'd read ...

Time To Move On? Sell It!

January 28, 2013 by SimplyBeingMum

It all started with the post Drowning In Stuff at the start of January. Something was changing. There was a definite shift in my mindset toward the next stage of decluttering. I then spoke with the fantastic Clutterfairy and downloaded Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston. *There are no affiliate links in this post Then came Letting Go Of ...

You Manage What You Measure

October 17, 2012 by SimplyBeingMum

manage what you measure

You manage what you measure. As boring and clichéd as it sounds, the above statement is true. I was resoundingly reminded of this just last week. My 7-year-old daughter kept a food-diary for a few days as homework. Interestingly when it was completed she changed her mind about having a school prepared lunch going forward. You may recall I'd ...

Making A Save & Continuing The Sale

September 18, 2012 by SimplyBeingMum

Reducing food waste at Chez Wright isn't all about the Friday routine. It's about keeping your eye on the prize. Watching out for waste that may sneak up on you. Take these bananas, for example... Just 4 days old, and not in the best shape. ...

Selling It And A Giveaway

May 16, 2012 by SimplyBeingMum

Simply Being Mum's Spring Sale continues. £82 was generated from a car-boot sale and just over £52 from my first lot of eBay listings. Taking my total to a rounded down £134. Some way to go to my self-imposed £600 target. I have more to list on eBay, and have found that now momentum has built I am not actually dreading it this time. Still not overly ...

Simply Being Mum’s Spring Sale 2012 Starts

May 8, 2012 by SimplyBeingMum

I read a while back that the average UK household contains £600 worth of stuff that is no longer required and could easily be sold. Now it's very annoying when someone quotes a statistic like that and cannot find the source to back it up. Sorry but, I'm going to be one of those annoying people today. I have a good idea it was an article in one of the ...
