    I haven't been on for a few days, though I've been lurking. Trying to wind things down at the moment. I've set my targets for October, I'm not very optimistic about them though.

    We've got to get the boiler serviced, pay the energy bill and I've got another few bills that need to be paid as well. Plus being away will hamper progress.

    I've put on 22 listings for DH, which I will upload next week. I'm going to do his relists today or tomorrow due to not wanting to waste the free listings and the opportunity to clear some stuff. They will go out after we are back so that's not a problem.

    I have a few items I want to put on for me, but haven't prepped them yet. I have other stuff I need to do first, so will see how I get on. I'll put some of my BIN on auctions to use my free listing, just to see if any sell and also they will go out after we come back as well.

    I deleted a load of stuff from ebay the other day, and will delete a load more tomorrow when I end my BINs. It's books which are not shifting so I'm just going to get them out for car boot.

    We had a lot of sales this week which is nice. So a lot of my spare time has been spent packing and posting. I'll tally up and add to my decluttering list.

    I've spent some of my ebay money on some fleecy pyjamas for little jwil as he refuses to have a cover on overnight, so I don't want him getting cold. They look lovely and snuggly, I want some! :D

    I have received a £10 amazon voucher from a survey site. Caught up with all surveys again. Cashed in a massive 22p from a cashback site :D It all helps!

    DH has reached £50 on you gov, so will cash that in when he gives me his bank details. I'm not far from getting there myself so hoping for lots of surveys coming through.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Well done on the sales jwil. I need to get my rear in gear, I haven't listed much lately and I'm hoping to make loads of sales this month so that I can cover some of the unexpected expenditure from last month.
    I need to do a declutter and kon Marie loads of stuff. I'm not confident I could achieve as much as you though jwil. So I think my first target will be £200 or 50 items-whichever comes first, and go from there. Xx

    I've just set a few more targets on my diary-I might have half a chance of achieving something if I set targets. :) that's the plan anyway. Lol :D

    Hello everyone :)

    Thanks for all the good wishes. We had a good time away and back on it now with a vengeance.

    Relists are going out tonight and we have a few things selling so that's good. DH has been sorting more stuff out today and I've been doing some as well. I've sorted through some paperwork and a few other bits.

    The decluttering list is continuing, I'll update it in the next couple of days. I've got DH to let me know what he is getting rid of too so it can be added.

    Retired - hope all is well with you :)

    Chev and abba - good luck with the decluttering! Hope the move goes well.

    Must dash...
