    Not much gone, apart from usual recycling, but I have got 88 items listed on Ebay so hopefully some of that will go next week, and I have 2 Ebay parcels to post later in the week, when I get a chance to go to the post office.

    Since I last posted I've:

    Sold the following:
    1 candle (unwanted gift)
    All my random nail varnishes - about 15
    Some Cath Kidston hand stuff I got as a present and haven't used
    2 sets of bedding I bought uber cheap to make something out of and haven't got that far
    an old wooden shelving unit.

    So quite a bit out and £23 in - £45 in total from my latest push now.

    Keeping up with rubbish recycling too.

    20 lots posted on ebay over the weekend, 7 have bidders already.

    In shoes for OH and I. The pair OH has replaced have already gone and mine will be this week. Also a few new bits of clothes for me, but some of the ebay bits are clothes so don't feel too bad.

    Sequeena, hugs for you :(
    Gorgeous puddy though :)

    Drum roll please............. I have finished tiling my kitchen which I started about 18 months ago when I got utterly fed up of waiting for DH to do it. I shall grout it on Wednesday after I've collected the kids from school.
    I did the estate agent tour around the "finished" rooms in our house (the ones DH plastered and painted and left 1/2 done!) and made myself a list. It is 2 A4 pages long and I'm going to get it done by hook or by crook :D
