New listing regime at the Rag Rescue website

 

'New Listings' category.

I'm afraid I will not be listing items every day in the near future. I have decided that I will only be listing at the beginning of each month.

I would like to explain my reasons for this new listing regime.
I have been extremely busy of late, all due to my mother having to go into a care home. Three years ago, she didn't want to get rid of anything, when she left her house, so it all had to go into storage. The lock - up we found looked ideal at the time, however three years later we discovered that it was very damp due to condensation. Now that I am having to clear it out, it means that I am having to unwrap, wash and wrap everything again ready for sale. A mammoth job as there are approx. 60 banana boxes to work on. My house, now has the contents of the lock-up in almost every room and it is driving me crazy.
When I have sold everything, I want to change the room my mother lived in, into a super craft room. Afterwards I have to do our  tax returns plus the business, which I would normally have completed by now.
After telling all this to a good customer friend of mine, she said what I needed a holiday, a housekeeper and an accountant. Well I can't afford a housekeeper and although I have an accountant, I prepare everything myself to keep costs down. The holiday this year is just a 2 day trip to London to the O2 to see Monty Python, a 65th birthday gift for my husband from my son.
So... being so stressed I searched my grey matter for something to relieve the pressure I am under and came up with the idea above.

Today, items that have listed can be found in the

'New Listings' category.

Here are some images of the Items listed.
