OUT:
Tomato plants finally planted out!!
Weeds from front garden - huge things!
more coathangers recycled
lots of old/ bad/ unknown photos (one day I will sort them properly, but am just thinning them atm)

PENDING:
7 listings on ebay (inc some bundles, so way more than 7 items) More to do later NOW 12 listings on ebay - and will try a couple more this evening.
Have also got a sellers pack for NCT sale next month - so 90 children's items/ bundles will be going there (I usually sell about half of what I send) Mainly girls clothes, as I have one DD but 3 x DS! Some unwanted toys, too, though - the children get the money for any of those, so it's a sort of incentive for them to have a semi-regular clearout. Just need to get the stuff from the attic and sort it... - 58 items/ bundles sorted so far - awaiting labels when they arrive!
