    I'm sure you'll figure it out about the income....I have faith in you.Perhaps you could advertise for more clients?

    Morning Karma :)

    Was that Amazon or eBay? I've been thinking about trying a few Amazon sales, but never used it before - any tips?

    :kisses3: Thank you! We did cut our advertising right down, its true. There's a long lead in time with advertising in our business, so it wouldn't address any immediate issues, but .... I'm not going to finish that sentence yet. I have a Cunning Plan.

    It was ebay, Squirrel - I've been selling bits on amazon for ages - I'm only using ebay for these because amazon won't recognise the bar codes.

    Tips - take your time! And preview everything, and tick things off a list - I got very confused as to which sales I sent out and which I hadn't, because I got six ebay sales very close together, two to the same person, plus an amazon sale, my head was spinning :rotfl:

    Well! Terrifying amount of absolute *junk* up there, and only two pieces of furniture belonging to the business partner :(:rotfl:What was I thinking to let it get that crowded? For months, I've been decluttering this house, and I actually thought I had the house cracked - I've been doing the odd piece of paper here and there recently.

    And now .... and now ..... I stopped it halfway through, there's just too much. This is what we've brought down so far:
    - 2 pieces of partner's furniture
    - magazine rack
    - piece of wood
    - corner display unit, oak
    - dozens of polystyrene cups (it was an insulation project :o)
    - cork noticeboard
    - 5 bags insulation (they can certainly go to the new place)
    - 2 duvets
    - one mixed bag insulation (heat and sound)
    - one pack pipe insulation
    - mattress for sun lounger - the sun lounger is folded up in the garage
    - guitar (had it since I was 12)
    - tuner amp
    - cushions for 3 piece suite (which is in the garage)
    - manual typewriter
    - oops, another duvet
    - empty cardboard box - boy, I'm going to need it.
    - antique-style umbrella stand, but the stand bit is rusted through
    - material.
    - and more material

    **what was I thinking**

    And there's as much again up there :o:p:o:p:o:p

    :rotfl: Sorry but that list really made me laugh! It's all sort of useful stuff though, I guess.

    Thanks for the selling tips, I used to do quite a bit on eBay and know what you mean about the confusion!

    It makes me laugh looking at it too. But really, what was I thinking? Why are 3 duvets up in the loft? I wouldn't guarantee there aren't more up there too - there's certainly two underbag storage things of clothes - and I know one of them has a mini skirt in there from when I was about 17 - and thats a very long time ago for me!

    It seriously wouldn't fit :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Hypno called me a skinny minny on your thread the other day - when I wore that mini skirt, I was 8.5 stone, at 5' 7" :eek::eek::eek:
