    My problem is that we are overrun with items ready to be put on ebay - there's a small fortune of items here and I can't get motivated to list them ............... stupid or what????? don't answer that one please!!

    I got shouted at tonight, for the state of the house clutter everywhere, upstairs, downstairs, etc, etc. Why am I not clearing it, etc, etc.

    Everytime I open a drawer I think, ooh could sell that. For me though it is not making the money I would like, whether ebay or netmums or any other selling site. That's what demotivates me.

    I don't know if I have answered your question or not Angel, but I have set myself thinking - I HAVE TO GET STARTED EBAYING AGAIN IF I AM TO HELP WITH OUR FINANCES AND WITH DECLUTTERING THE HOUSE :o:o

    Thankyou so much Susan....that is exactly what I thought. I have so much to sell but I struggle with the motivation to do it.

    A friend told me tonight that sales of record turntables has exceeded sales of CD players last year & as a result that vinyl is making a comeback. I have 3500 vinyl records in storage but I still can`t drum up the motovation to list ! ...why is that?

    Ebay is not easy but I need the extra pennies from decluttering & that would save the cost of my storage unit which costs me £100 a month too!!

    I guess I need to just stop thinking & just get on with it.
