TEN months and counting...

Well the sun is shining today so I've got the duvet etc in the machine and can hopefully get everything dry outside today.

Weekend plan:

Dejunk a bit more of DS's room (he's not here so won't see it all vanish);)
Clean bikes for selling
Get up to date with ironing
Do some batch cooking and freeze
Phone the gold place and try and get shot of old junk!
Stick some 99p things on ebay (if they don't sell it won't cost me anything)

Only 19 days left in April and I've done nothing to make extra money yet apart from a GN bet!:o

Thanks for mentioning about bikes Skinty, we have 2 almost brand new ones that my boys just grew out of too quickly.

If I get £10 for each of them I will be happy and the space back in the garage would be a bonus:T

How come you dont get charged on 99p sales on Ebay?

I think I have three outgrown bikes actually! but only two that might sell, I'll stick the other one on freecycle. I really don't want to have to take them all with us when we eventually move and this is a good time of year to get shot of them I think!

It's just something they are doing at the moment on ebay, they will charge when the item sells but not for listing. not sure if it's permanent or not.

I'm hoping to do a car boot sale early May with one of my friends and I've been gathering stuff in the hall cupboard - now takes up two shelves...

I havent done a car boot sale in ages, lost my confidence a bit:o

They are usually a bit of a laugh when you do them with someone else - I'm too scared to go solo! Also the pitch costs £13 so half of that isn't too bad but not sure how much I'd make on my own.

I am soooooo exhausted! I clear out my craft cupboard and found all sorts of stuff including DS's PSP charger which he couldn't find and I had to replace for a tenner! (did confiscate pocket money until he'd paid me back though - such a meanie!) I now have a whole pile of stuff for car boot, some for ebay and a lot was recycled, binned or sent to charity shop.
I think I'll head out for a walk in a bit to clear my head after all that dust...after a cuppa of course!

oh... I called the gold place but no answer so will try again later in the week.

woohoo!!! four things on ebay...just treating myself to a glass of wine and some chocolate as a reward!

I've just re-read the first 5 pages of your diary SS, (I love rereading bits of peoples diaries, just never get enough time), anyway, in a nutshell for anyone else thinking about doing it heres a refresher from last summer ... (a) I must clean up the bikes (b) I must put bits on ebay ... familiar ??
