    I don't know how to ebay and it looks very time consuming to me and I can't bear to throw anything out that someone may get some use from so I have been giving a few things to charity recently. I always feel better after a big declutter. :D Being in the middle of one is a pain though. :rolleyes:

    When I moved I gave away a large bag of clothes I'd hardly worn. Half wishing I'd ebayed them now! At least if someone gets some benefit from them that's something.

    As part of the big declutter, I have decided to get rid of a load of make up I have which I will never use, it is all unopened, does anyone know if charity shops will accept it or is it all destined for the bin?

    Edited to add: What about DVDs and CDs?

    Not sure, but I would think not? What about a car boot sale?

    Just realised I forgot 2 glasses of wine in my declaration :eek:

    However, I feel a bit sick after eating chocolate - could this be good news for the future? :D

    Right, I give stuff to charity shop - toiletries, I have no idea what they do with it but I have never been chased down the High street by an old lady from the charity shop throwing my body lotion back at me!

    I couldnt throw it away, what a waste!

    And dvd's/cd's = Amazonmarket place , Playtrade and Music magpie
