Having so far kept all my daughter and son's baby clothes, I am rapidly reaching the situation of having more kids clothes than Mothercare! Really do need to sort through it all.


The newborn/ young baby clothes are all barely worn and perfect condition so easy to rehome


My daughter does however have some outgrown clothes that although not at all worn out and loads of wear left, do have the odd mark on. Nothing major, just nit perfect. Seems very wasteful to bin these but then what can be done with them? Any ideas?

I thought charity's only wanted the perfect stuff. I suspected that charities that actually use the clothes rather than sell them may be happy to accept them but wasn't sure..... Is there anywhere local that would use them?


The marks may even come out, maybe a soak in vanish, another wash and hung out to dry on a sunny day....

My Mum voluteers in a charity shop - stuff too worn to sell goes in a rag bag & gets sold off by weight so the charity still benefits.


I think it then gets sorted & some goes overseas - Africa etc, some cut up for arts & crafts, some as rags for garages etc.


I'd say either to charity or give away as a job lot by age via the forum. Personally I think some less than perfect clothes are perfect for days when we are painting/doing art & crafts/off to the allotment etc.!!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
