    Today I have just been listing on Ebay - managed 30 things before I got fed up, fingers crossed some of it will sell! I found another pile of things for Ebay a few days ago, but when I went to photograph them earlier, couldn't remember where I'd put them, so I'll still be Ebaying (and decluttering) well into next year!

    In

    Nothing

    Out


    Couple of small boxes recycled

    Pending Out

    Two tops and a book into charity bag
    Paper with text on one side torn into four pieces (for shopping lists/phone messages)
  • ooh, can i join in?

    Haven't cleared out as much as i need to but here is what i've done so far:

    In

    DS for DS1 (haha)
    Sit me up car for ds2

    Out

    Ebayed maternity clothes
    Ebayed oh's unworn shirt

    Pending Out:

    30 totsbots bamboo nappies, ebay don't allow used nappies to be sold so pondering where to sell them
    Widgey pillow, bought as a cheap grabbit and never used
    baby bouncy chair
    bumbo
    perfume botle
    vintage acid bottle
    bundle of unused clothes (on ebay)

    Not doing too bad, i didn't realise how much stuff is lying aeound unused. i'd be chuffed if everything sold before xmas.

  • Oh I've got reusable nappies to sell to, and your post reminded me I must do that, so had a quick google search and found a website who you can sell reusables thru. I cannot attach the link as i'm a newbie, but you can private message me and will pass on the web address
    Hope your other stuff sells well, bumbos always seem to go well on ebay esp or NCT nearly new sales.
    cheers

    Hi

    Half cleared out the 'black hole' cupboard last night. I had a leak under the sink thought the plumber would need to access the stopcock. He didn't but did me a favour as I am going to clear out the rest of the cupboard. (Bedroom now full of black bags and boxes:rotfl::):eek:)
