Have just spent 2hrs listing 17 items on ebay! Have done this at last - how long have I said to myself to do this?!Fingers crossed they sell. Not even bothered what they go for really altho the money will be more than helpful, more bothered about them going to a new home where they can be used.
Will have another go at listing another ten or so on tomorrow and more photos to take to load on and listfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

Half term this week, got loads done already. My plan is to sort out all the cupboards, wardrobes and drawers first, then give the rooms a good clean towards the end of the week so they are spick and span for my return to work. I've already done the kitchen and our bedroom.

Food Shopping

Hi all,
A bit of decluttering done over the weekend:
Out:
1 bag of clothes to charity shop
1 wheelie bin full of rubbish cleared out of the shed
1 compost heap emptied ready to refill, the compost is ready for my potatoes to go in!
Shreddings from the large bush in the garden in the compost heap.
In:
Nothing!
I want to crack on with top coating the walls in the top bedroom, so I can start laying the floor and moving the furniture on the landing back in. So sick of the obstacle course!Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!
