    nah I don't have the heart to take his precious dvd's away from him.

    Have been a bit ruthless in other areas today however, and anything that has a layer of dust on it from no use in about six months has been dusted off and photographed for ebay :D

    My main motivation for ebay is decluttering at the moment, the money from potential sales will be a lovely bonus! I'm so glad we found out baby's sex as otherwise we would have a house full of girls stuff that DD has finished with and not much in place for the little boy we are expecting!

    Decluttering is good. I am seeing a very small difference in small area from yesterdays efforts, so am going to carry on. It's free listing day this weekend on ebay so will relist everything that didn't sell of higher value the last time around in hope it sells this time.

    I have a charity bag waiting to be filled this morning for collection tomorrow so will crack on with that this morning and then list a couple more bits on ebay.

    So far I've got one item on ebay and two on Amazon. The charity bag is filled. Doesn't look as though i have created any space yet though :)

    20p on OP this morning. I need 50p more to get to £31 today.

    Ordered my summer flip flops this morning for my holiday. I saw some I loved in fat face last week so went to order online, but couldn't find a code for free delivery so i found the same flip flops through a different store and got a 10% off code and they had free delivery :j, plus tcb of 12% rather than 6% if I bought direct from fatface. Paid the difference of £6.51 off the cc. Can't wait until these little bits can go off the mortgage again.

    Thank goodness the working weeknis over for me this week. Went to the dentist this afternoon after work to have a tooth pulled out only to be told he was running half an hour late. No way was I sitting listening to my heart pumping for half an hour whilst I waited so came away again without having treatment.

    Such a nice afternoon so we ended up going out for dinner, a lovely way to enjoy some summer evening sun.

    Enjoy your weekend yukkibear, do you have any plans? I think i'm at a similar amount on Onepoll, be nice to get to payout by the end of the month, there seem to be quite a few surveys on there at the moment.

    Thanks Cath. We've done a family bbq this afternoon for dd2's birthday this week, which was nice. Have my niece and nephew sleeping over tonight so think we'll play some board games in a bit before bed and probably play out in the paddling pool tomorrow

    Pretty chilled out day today. I spent most of the afternoon laying in the sofa playing a game on my iPad. I NEVER do that so it was really nice.

    managed to get 24 listings in total in eBay by tonight and also had an amazon sale yesterday. Currently two items have bids but watchers on a few more so am hopeful of some pennies next weekend..

    Wrote a DY review today but may got the amazon vouchers this time as it's my niece birthday near the end of June and I am getting her something from amazon anyway. Well see.
