With the festive season well underway, the savvy mum has come up with a new method to sell her discarded items to those locally.

“I host treasure hunts where I will hide a pair of discarded stockings somewhere in town and give the recipient clues on where to find them,” Lizzy told Need To Know.

“Each person pays £50 to take part.

“It’s been a hit so far.

“I settle on a discreet package and will hide them around in secret spots for half an hour before telling the person the rough location.

“It’s not long before I get a message saying they’ve found the tights.

“This way, they can collect them without having to meet up – it’s a win-win.”

Lizzy will be continuing her treasure hunt over the next few weeks, stopping the weekend just before Christmas.

She will be using the profits to buy presents for her family and children.

She said: “Sometimes, people order things other than just tights.

“I’ve hidden underwear, socks and toenail clippings, too.

“These go for a bit more, at around £70 per item, but I’ve only had a few requests so far.”

Christmas used to be one of the toughest times of the year for the mum.

She loves her new career and not having to worry about feeding her family anymore.

Lizzy added: “I used to struggle for money and live on food banks, as well as digging down the back of the sofa for loose change so I could feed the kids.

“At Christmas, I had to sell my precious belongings just so I could afford presents.

“Now, though, I make money doing something that I love.

“It’s not a traditional way but I’m able to provide for my family and make the festive season extra special.

“Something that was once a distant dream has now come true.”
