I got a total energy boost the other day and decided that it was time to sort out all those stored away clothes that were falling out of the cupboards where I kept them.
I had kept hold of them because I was planning host do another "Bring-and-Buy sale" at some stage, but in the end... it all felt like too much hassle. All of a sudden I just wanted to get rid of all these things we were never going to use again.
My oh my, it was SO much..!
I had shelves and shelves of stuff that the kids had outgrown, but also things that Nathan and I won't use or don't fit anymore. (Mostly because it's too big ;)..!)
So, today I took it all down to the Berakas Camp. The Loan Service Team has a thrift shop there where they sell the things on, cheap, cheap - and then they use the money they get to do good deeds in the community.
It's kind of a win-win-win situation: people can come to the shop and buy nice things very cheap, the money goes towards charity AND - I get it out of my house! Win, win, win!

Hi
Great blog! We are a family of 4 considering a move to Brunei. Can you email me so that I can pick your brains about life there?
Cheers

Apologies if you get 3 messages but I haven't got a clue if the first one or 2 went through - silly computers!
We are currently in NZ (family of 4) and are seriously considering a move to Brunei. Can you drop me an email so that I can pick your brains? No worries if you can't. Great blog!
