I have found the last week or so to be really good on ebay for shifting old childrens toys so this has given me an incentive to rummage some cupboards for bits to sell and ask DS's to sort out their old bits. Will probably only last til Christmas.

IN:
Few bits and pieces of groceries - trying to declutter the freezers!!

OUT:
eBay sales using old boxes, bubblewrap and brown paper.

:rotfl:Don't think so...what do you look like and where do you live?!

Anyway, dear 'mother' you must be very, very proud of all the decluttering that is going on in my room at the minute: lots of old video tapes being thrown out and TONS of old college/uni notes. Seriously, I've thrown about 10 folders worth out. I won't know myself when it's finished! :j

Was aiming for the below at the weekend but was shaking off stinking cold and spent most of the weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself.



So - Pending (Aiming for 'by the end of the weekend' i.e. 25/10/09)

1. ANOTHER wardrobe declutter (those t-shirts really ARE too small even for wearing in bed - do I really need 20 odd of them anyway?) actually, I did throw out some old knack£r£d undies which I found lurking (and lacking!).
2. the great Loft-a-liscious Summer / Autumnwinter clothes switchover
3. [STRIKE]Summer / winter linen switchover (bring on the flanalette sheets :rotfl:) [/STRIKE] Yaaaaay, nice and warm
4. [STRIKE]Big telly out of frontroom, wrapped up and into garage [/STRIKE] This actually went upstairs to DS room cos his one broke
5. All my bookkeeping tax stuff sorted and taken upstairs to files - yes, I looked at this pile again this morning! (and again this morning)

some items unsold at NCT to be listed on ebay - urgh! I SO hate doing that - will attempt to do over half term hols (which start for one of them tomorrow). I also plan on making use of OH whilst he's at home (it's not proper gardening leave, he is doing some work and also going into office 1-2 days a week) - DD's ensuite needs ripping put and changing and there's lots of little diy jobs to do - gotta keep him busy, after all!:D
