    :D Nothing! :D

    OUT

    Posted ebay parcel :D
    Compost peelings and paper

    Have just spent 2hrs listing 17 items on ebay! Have done this at last - how long have I said to myself to do this?! :confused: 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 list

    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.

    This weekend:

    IN

    Food Shopping

    OUT

    Bag of Clothes For Charity (one huge bag)
    Recycling ( a bag)
    Rubbish (two bags)

    DS3 needs new shoes and pumps tomorrow so a shopping trip planned. Will hopefully get some more decluttering done tomorrow afternoon.

    Have a nice day everyone.

  • 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! ;)
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    well i'd planned to get uni work today but after procrastinating for most of the morning and afternoon i've now fallen into purging paperwork. I'd forgotten how therapeutic it can be!

    Nothing in today,

    Out - 5 bids on items for sale on ebay - 16 left without! Had another sort for ebay items, about another 20 to list over the next couple of weeks, then another sort for some more I can spare
