Well the sun is out and I am in decluttering mood again!

My mum has just cleared out a flat and had the contents dumped in the dining room/hall! I am NOT happy. I think its time to start filling up some charity bags.

I have put my Panny on ebay as I am not using it (I use my Kenwood) and it is sitting in the cupboard.

Have a under counter freezer and fridge to sell and a almost new Kenwood liquidiser which been advertised with no interest for £10.

I think I will put the fridge and freezer in the paper but no idea what to do with the liquidiser.

Haven't really been home much over the last couple of weeks, but managed to take a whole bootful of stuff to ex BF's flat yesterday out of the loft. He moved out a year ago and we just haven't got round to sorting it out. It means I can now get up there and sort out my stuff!
New mirror put up finally (been hidden behind sofa for nearly two years) old one on ebay - has bids - finishing on Sunday so OUT
Sons 125 scooter also has bids (and 54 watchers) so that will be OUT too

Well that is 21 items listed on ebay so a good start. I know I should wait for the free listing weekend, but I am sick of all the stuff sitting around.

Well done on the listings! I know what you mean - I listed a wodge of stuff a few weeks back which cost me dearly to list - thankfully it all sold, but normally I wait for a free/ cheap listing day. I only have less than 10 items for ebaying at the mo, so may well wait for a cheap day for those. (I do have a few more, like some Next & Monsoon party frocks, but they're going to wait until close to Xmas, as they should hopefully get a better price then) I thought I saw that auction items for private (non business) sellers starting at 99p or less will be free from 12th march (or thereabouts, though) - so I may have a few things to go on after that date on that basis.


Right, my update:

IN:
Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium DVD (£1 from Play.com with Nestle deal - bargain!)
pair of maternity trousers (necessary evil!)
Shower/ lights/ radiator for new bathroom
Some more money for ebay sales (yippee!!)
New dairy cover for fridge (old one mysteriously got broken!)
Job offer for hubby! (He's not sure he'll take it yet though)
Groceries from sainsburys (they sent me some money off vouchers - so how could I resist!)
Birthday pressies and cards for me (yesterday)
Small bit of m-i-l's birthday pressie - alost finished now, I think (is at end of month)


OUT:
Usual rubbish, composting & recycling
Large amount of builders rubbish from behind my garage (thankfully - more still to go, but vast majority has now been taken away)
Two more books to WI pile
Old purse (new Kipling one as a pressie)
Few soaps sold at boring ladies evening last night (very poorly attended)


Don't expect to get much achieved this weekend - mainly tidying/ cleaning is required - builders make so much dust which gets everywhere And we're off out for my birthday/ combined celebration of DD getting into her secondary school of choice (we still have selective education in Glos, so she is going to a single sex grammar) and I know we have visitors tomorrow re my birthday!

Lovely weather here - hope it is where you are!!

last night i put my first 3 items up on ebay for sale. Chose collection only as a starter as im confused about how you work all the postage stuff out. Put up - perfume and body lotion (unwanted gift), a dvd BN, and a customised top. Thing is with the customised top i have no idea how to price things. I did look at the ebay board and hints and tips, but didnt seem to find the answer.

Sitting in my dressing gown at the minute trying to get the motivation up to get up into the attic and clear it. Someone make me please!

ON freecycle there is a male cross dresser who was looking clothes, so i now have someone to come and collect stuff and someone specifically to do it for so i should be up there now doing things but i just cant motivate myself.

and maybe more - all thieved from our garage last night
