    I've lost track of what has gone in and out but my downstairs is looking lovely. The kids rooms have been weeded beyond belief. Unfortunately we can't get into our bedroom properly!
    My next mission is to empty our huge cupboard upstairs and rid us of all the toys from in there. After that I will move onto our bedroom and get that emptied. Then it can be redone which will be an epic job.

    This weekend, private sellers can list their items on eBay.co.uk using the auction-style format with a starting price of 99p or under and pay no Insertion Fee*. So it's a great opportunity to clear out your unwanted items in your home before Christmas and make a little bit of extra cash too!

    large amount of paper to recycling
    some soapy stuff sold (yippee!)
    2 walkie talkies to bin (broken, can't be fixed)
    some board books to recycling (chewed beyond readability)

    PENDING:
    about 7 or 8 items listed on ebay over freebie listing weekend


    Dining room looks lovely - and WILL stay that way before Xmas. Lounge is fine too - just needs weekend detritus clearing! Family room will be sorted today (about 1/2 hours work), leaving the kitchen and under the stairs to sort downstairs. All rooms upstairs need a BIG sort :(

    Sorry Karmacat, no internet at home atm - so only just saw your post. I saw a notice when I logged onto ebay last week, maybe it was just me! Haven't listed anything for a while so maybe they were trying to tempt me back.
