    10 items ending tonight! :j

    Need to get my backside into gear and get sorting through the next box of assorted junk from the loft! I'm finding going through them one at a time is far less daunting :D

    Hello everyone! :wave:

    Can I be added to the list please doodledoo? I've still got some bits and pieces to list but am running out of motivation so this is perfect for me - my target is to list the equivalent of an item a day till the end of February to start with (don't know if I've got much else to sell lol)

    Sooo that'd be 35 items by Feb 28th

    Going to go back through my books, cd's and dvd's just now to see if there's any I can part with, I've already been quite brutal.

    Need to combine with a general clear out too so if items don't sell after one round of amazon/play etc or 2 ten day listings on ebay then they're off to the charity shop.

    Just sat and done another 13! I've "stupidly" piled up all the things that are up for sale on my stairs so I don't lose them. At least I will then be able to actually SEE how well I'm doing as I might be able to get upstairs without falling down them again. :D

    Hi Novagirl - all my sellable stuff plus envelopes, boxes (I pick up empty boxes from supermarket and work plus padded envelopes), labels, sellotape, scissors etc., are all over my dining room table!

    Just listed another 4 items on Ebay.

    DH says he'd better keep moving before I Ebay him!

    I've been doing that too nellis. Selling all my leftover craft stock that I had just to get it out of the house and see a bit of the cash back.

    What really bugs me is the 'rubbish' that I've listed has attracted more attention and bids than the actualy decent items!
