    Good Morning All - Thanks for the ebay suggestion for foriegn currancy - I will action that asap. (btw I am worried about using Paypal since my ds had a payment taken back OUT of his ppal a/c after he had sent the item off - long story but its all to do with the fine print ...)
    And loving the clean and tidy kitchen concept - setting the table for b/fast and doing the sarnies in the evening!
    Making good progress with the 100 things challenge (must finish before Friday to start on self-imposed 25 in 24hrs)
    71 Recycling OUT
    72 2 mags from bedroom
    73 library books returned (doesnt really count since 5 more taken out BUT OH used to buy books to read on his commute - lots of £££ to WHS - so I have got him out of that..very MSE now)
    74 packaging from shopping
    75 5 more old mags
    76 £2 coins to bank a/c (£100 more into campervan fund Woo Hoo!)
    77 2 envelopes
    78 5 lampshades
    79 1 net curtain - both these into CS bag
    80 bag of old disgusting cosmetics - bin
    81 travel size toothpaste etc into bag for homeless
    82 bags and tubs from food amalgamation
    83 labels from new CFR uniform (oops - should have ordered small - will have to take some darts in it)
    84 old cooking oil bottle and balsamic vinegar bottle (such a great shape but what am i keeping it for?)
    85 12 eggs that OH has sold via work - we may have to get more hens - these city types love our eggs! (and thats some more ££ into the CV fund..)

    So that was day 7 ..... Looking forward to living the dream!
    Hugs to All

    Morning all!

    And what a wet and miserable morning it is :( It's April tomorrow, for goodness sake!!!

    Anyway:
    IN:
    cranberry bush - belated bday pressie for me - not sure, but I'll give it a go!

    OUT:
    3 bathbombs given to my mum
    bday pressie to m-i-l. Part bought, part recycled from stash and part from stock items. 2 cards also (bought especially, not from stash)

    EBAY:
    27 items listed - 4 finishing today - 2 with bids. 10 sold yesterday - 2 still left to pay. Others parcelled up. The sold parcels were mainly job lots of stuff - so actually have 55 items in between them :D One of teh ones finishing today (with bids on already) has 126 items of stock in - so that's a really good declutter! I've also had an enquiry from someone looking tyo buy 6 items that were llisted and unsold - so I'm waiting for them to come back to me to confirm and I'll relist :D

    I need some good progress over the Easter weekend!!!

    In: Nothing.

    Pending out: Listed another 9 books on Greenmetropolis.

    Out: 1 jumper, 1 dress, 1 old work coat as well as a whole load more rubbish. Also out: half a pot of moisturiser (It had been a competition prize) which had separated....ewwww!!

    Still decluttering busily so more to come, no doubt.

    Also done another load of clothes washing so have blitzed the "darks" pile.

    In

    Two Easter eggs

    Out

    Two Ebay parcels posted

    Pending

    Top and a pair of jeans into charity bag

    Spare room looks terrible - there's stuff everywhere as I unpacked a lot to take pictures for Ebay! Mission is to get it looking presentable again and find more things to declutter over the long weekend!

    Right, I have a few things to list today:

    IN - cooking magazine

    OUT - 7 Cookbooks. My shelves are considerably lighter now. Still a few more to "thin" out.

    Getting there slowly but surely.

    KB xx
    Trying for daily wins, and a little security in an insecure world.
  • Out: 4 sachets of body lotion (freebies from magazines) - used on me.

    Pending out: packet of face wipes and a hair mask to keep elsewhere.

    Pending out either to sell or to charity, so far: 1 dress, 2 skirts, 1 t shirt, 1 hoodie, 2 pairs of trousers and I've still got more clothes decluttering to do as well as having 4 dresses, 2 hoodies and other things to get rid of still in the same way.
