    I have SO much stuff, including unused perfume, used perfume, merchandise, a clock and loads of clothes. Got brand new shoes on there, and putting some used ones on too when I get to them under the mountains of stuff I have still to wade through!! But I'll be adding to it daily from hereonin and hoping to get rid of as much as possible.
  • Sounds like you will have the money coming in soon then when you have sold all of your stuff. I had a clear out a while ago put some stuff on ebay but alot of stuff i gave to the charity shop or local jumble. (it was my good deed)

    I hope so. Been giving loads to charity....and anything unsold from this lot will be given to charity at the end of the 7 day listing period for each item. One way or another, I will be getting rid of these items.
  • I have just put some items on a few websites for sale so hopefully something will come from it. I have just got a order number for my old phone so will be sending that off this week. That will be £24 pound to go into the savings :)

    It all adds up; got about £50 waiting for me from the books I've sold in the last month....going to try and save it up to build an emergency fund so when the chips are down, I can always withdraw that source of funds.
