Crapola of Clothes For Free!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I may regret doing this if it becomes a headache, but...

Our local goodwills and stuff have been 'not taking donations' since before Xmas, and I've been going through clothes like nuts. I have literally been THROWING AWAY clothes. It's emberassing, I hate that. I am not going to sell them though because.. 1. I don't want to do garage sale 2. Don't want to be responsible for someone paying on ebay for used clothes and not liking it because it may have cat/dog hair and/or smoke smell.

However, I have a lot of trashbags of clothes I haven't been able to throw out, I was taught that's wasteful, and I had hoped local places would start taking donations again.. no luck and I need the room.

So, I am going to compile a big list of pics of clothes I have to get rid of. Some have only been worn once, and some (very few) for years, but I won't put anything in the list that I think no one would want.

I'm going to compile the list, and it's free.. first come first serve, all I ask is that you pay for the shipping, which you can do via paypal or write me a check! I ship from work, which is discounted, so it is quite cheap, but I do have to reimburse the company for the shipping charges.

There's all kinds of things, from pants, tops, sweaters, hella cute knee-length cardigan that took me 2 years to decide to spend the $$ for and then I could wear it only once before I got too small (I really lament about this one.) From sizes 24-18.

If you want to get the e-mail with all the pics/info please send me a PM with your e-mail address. It won't be a spammy thing, I'll send it out once and if you want something let me know what. If it's already taken, I'll let you know.

I do have 3 long haired white cats, a boxer dog and me & DH smoke. The items will be clean, but I know some people are sensitive to those things, so keep that in mind :thumbup:)

Im not sure where you live but if the weather is nice why not try and have a yard sale to get rid of the clothes and you can make a little money? I did this last summer with a friend and we both did really good. Im planning to do it again this summer and I have already started to collect bins of too big clothing.

good luck

As I said in my first post, I don't like the idea of garage sales :tt1:)

I don't want to feel bad selling something to someone and they end up not liking it, and they're my neighbor. I want to just donate them, but some reason goodwill is too good to receive donations for a while now.

You don't have clothing drop bins in your area? We have them all over back home and here. That is odd.

Weird request can you snap a pic or two of some of the cloths (that cardigan your talking about sounds like something I have been searching for!!!) I am very tempted but I am a visual creature:lol:

The drop off bins (tables) have signs on them that say "NOT TAKING DONATIONS AT THIS TIME".

I don't know, I never saw this before, but it's been like that a while. I guess not enough people are buying, they are overflowing out of their stores.

Yes Kat, PM me your email addy just so I have it in the list and don't forget to include you!

The cardigan is so pretty, it's creme and semi-sheer with long renaissancy flowy ruffle sleeves and corset-laces up the back. I oogled it 2 years, then finally decided to fork out the cash for it (size 24) and I was barely a 22 at the time, it is so large on me it's ridiculous. Not for lack of trying, on several occasions I tried to pull it off, but it does NOT look good when it's too big.

I PMed you my email addy .. and OMG that sounds EXACTLY like what I have been looking for .. *dies* Like I said can you PM me some pics?

*bounces up and down* pwetty pweety pwease?!?!?!?!? As my son would say with cherries and snails on top?!?!?!?!?!?

*edit in* My mom and I are both wanna be tailors (with both of us being big we had to learn :tt1:) and my tailor works with formal wear all the time so if I can't (or don't have the confidence) she definitely can make it work for me.

You could always have Free Sale too. It's like a garage sale but you don't charge any money.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
