Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 As well as being a childminder and supporting new childminders, I am also an Independent Trader for Phoenix cards. If anyone wants to look at our lovely stock my trader website is www.phoenix-trading.eu/web/charlotteandpeteroliver I can give a 10% discount to anyone from here who orders. Also, get in touch if you want to chat about using Phoenix to raise money for your setting or for a cause you support. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi Charlotte - We don't really allow promotion of a member's own products on the FSF - a policy we had to introduce after being almost deluged at one point with posts from new members who simply wanted to advertise their own products and services. Having said that, I'll leave this post in place - partly because you've posted in the lounge and obviously therefore are mainly just letting other established members know - and partly because your cards service has nothing to do with the early years. I've also edited your link which had an incorrect spelling of phoenix, so was leading to a dead page. Goodness I'm being nice today aren't I? I'm not setting a precedent, however, and I'm sure I'm going to get told off by the moderators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Another forum I go on (absolutley nothing to do with EY) has a page for selling and advertising that can only be accessed by supporters (its free to join). Obviously with so many LEAs paying the subscription that would be difficult but would such a page be possible? I have nothing to sell except a frivolous purchase that now sits in my cupboard (!) so have no agenda, just a thought really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ah Steve, thank you. Sorry, forgot to check Ts and Cs. Maybe a buying and selling subforum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upsy Daisy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have nothing to sell except a frivolous purchase that now sits in my cupboard (!) so have no agenda, just a thought really. Am I the only one wondering what the frivolous purchase could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Black Doc Martins with gold glittery flowers on that are a size too small so gave me pins and needles in my toes when I wore them in the house for 15 minutes. Other than that I've never, ever been able to wear them. I was caught up in the moment and just had to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 No problem lolo - hope you get some visitors to your card site with this post anyway. Rea - actually we do allow one-off items, such as the recent community playthings item that a setting found surplus to requirements. It's just that there was an incredible increase in the number of sites supplying early years products, planning resources and other things about three years ago, and we just had to come up with a policy decision. If you look at the FSF you'll see no banner ads or other forms of advertising which was a deliberate decision right from back in 2003. And so we have to be pretty hard line about everything now. But I have been thinking about an Exchange and Mart type of section for stuff such as yours, which is not really commercial. I just need to check that we won't be liable for non-arrival of money/products etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 But by all means, give your doc marten boot size! My daughter might well be interested in those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ahh Dr Martens boots! I once had a pair of black steel toe cap boots (boots were always better than the shoes). They were a size too small but looked amazing and totally finished off my indie look but alas they got the better of me, no matter how hard I wished I couldn't make them fit......

HappyMaz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 My daughter might well be interested in those. They sound fab! Might just fight her for them! So Rea, what size are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 They sound fab! Might just fight her for them! So Rea, what size are they? Ooh, I hope they're MY size.... I could do with a pair after my daughter "borrowed" (ahem!!) my lovely metallic silver pair AND has her beady eye on my DM sandals for the summer Nona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 A very slim size 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 A very slim size 4. They're fab. Too small for me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I really wished surgery was available to make my feet smaller. I fell in love with them and now they sit in their box in a dark cupboard, their beauty hidden, their gold untarnished, their crape soles forever clean. A reminder if ever one was needed that a fool and her money are soon parted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ooh, I won't be bidding either Rea. Although she would absolutely love them, she's a size 6 (at 13! She's also 5'10" and likely to overtake me in height within the next year if she doesn't slow down!). I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a home for them though - they look great!

Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Too small for me too! Lovely boots though Rea - I'd put them in a cabinet to show them off. I was a size 7 aged 11 - I'm not particularly tall either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yay!! Gorgeous and MY size - Rea, please let me know if you're serious about selling them......... I can fight my daughter for them!! Nona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 my daughter is a 4 but has a fat foot and you say they are slim-i won't show her the photo it wouldn't be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I WANT!!!!! However, since my bunion surgery, although I have beautiful straight feet I have mysteriously increased to a size 5 (left foot)and a 5 1/2 (right foot) ! So alas, not for me, I fear I am now off into town to find some!!!!! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Update - if anyone's interested - a totally wasted route march through the shops of fair Nottingham City! I suppose you bought them YEARS ago? So I'm going to have to sulk about it and make do with my silver sequinned Converse ... sigh!

Rea Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I bought them probably 12 months ago Sue in a sale at Oasis in Brum (not the high street Oasis). I have seen them on one web site at £89.99. Gold and black Doc's If you read this Nona as soon as I can remember to buy the parcel tape theybe on their way. I have a head like a seive.

Sue R Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Oh, thanks for that Rea!! Now to start the justification list..... Well, I can't say I've had them for ages just haven't worn them much, as I've just had a sort out in wardrobe and shoe store ( ) !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Oh I know that sort of mommy. I once bought a dress with money that was earmarked for two feather duvets for the lads. They werent amused with their polyester subsitutes, but I have prepared them to deal with lifes disappointments. I'll post them tomorrow Edited January 30, 2011 by Rea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
