Here comes another money neutral task from me for the month of March!....

It is quite a good time now to get eBaying and what better time then combining this with a good old spring clean. It is unbelievable what sells on eBay. I have sold everything from an old broken camera (£25), broken ipod (£30) to a half used bottle of Johnsons tanning lotion (about £3! they are £3 new?)

Anyway I challenge you all to:


Clear out your cupboards by 8th March and have a pile for eBay

Photograph your items by 12th March

List your items by 15th March

This is by far (and always has been) the biggest source of money for my money neutral fund. It might even start to build your Christmas fun.d

Who is with me??:A I will be checking progress!! :rotfl:

(Combining the weekly 15minute tidy with this might kill 2 birds with one stone!!)

I'm with you, i have already done the first task

Jordan Shannon I am so sorry u have had such a cra**y day.
Too many stupid things all at the same time is too much for anyone!
So sad you won't be joining us at the NEC I was looking forward to meeting you and having another south east person there!!
I'm thinking of you
Big hugs xxx

Jordanshannon - big hugs to you, sounds like you've had a rough day, have a dodgy hug :grouphug:

Jamtart - that sounds like a good plan! Ooh I feel motivated already! Okay I can think of the following things off the top of my head:

Nokia phone x 2 (got to check to see whether i'm likely to get more on ebay or envirofone)
Ipod
Camera
Avon stuff (quite a bit anew stuff )
Wedding dress (again might get more if I sell it in the paper, or on preloved, somewhere like that)

The house is sort of tidy at the moment so I should be able to sort through stuff easy enough. I'm going to get started on this tomorrow :j

Thanks girlies:D . I'll be okay, i'm trying to look ahead to the things i want ie: Childcare apprenticeship, car:rolleyes: , etc etc.
I'm sure it won't be as bad as i expect it to be *fingers, legs and toes crossed*:D
I am now doing some retail therapy as i am on www.theglitterpot.co.uk as it has free delivery to UK mainland until midnight tomorrow :j *woopwoop*, magnolia here i come:D :rotfl:
The more i fixate(sp) on what i want, the more determined i will be to get it.
