    I have sold and donated enough objects to be able to sell a bookcase that was housing it all. In the past I have been guilty of buying storage to hide the clutter instead of addressing all the stuff I have.

    How fabulous and inspirational. This is something I am guilty of as well and 4 months into being unemployed I am no further on with tackling it. I am going to have to look up this Kondo thread...

    I love your lists of MSE things PBR. I am voluntarily unemployed at the moment - couldn't stand my job anymore and decided to take a break. Underestimated how hard it would be to get a new one but as you say - glad to have the summer off and will hopefully find something in after the holidays.

    Good job on not buying the cake!

    Odds and end frittata sounds great! Hope you feel better soon. At least you're not spending on enjoying yourself (such a miseryguts I am!)

    I find FB overcrowded now. Too many people selling tat! Have you tried shpock? It's an app that you can use to sell to local people. I've made a couple of good sales there but nothing amazing. Might be useful as one of the places you sell.

    About the shoes...where did you buy them from? I have returned things to M&S without the receipt so some shops do accept it on goodwill.

    Hey Poorbutrich! Just catching up on your diary, hospital parking is so expensive, always feels wrong to me that you have to pay to see loved ones!

    As well as using fb selling always try gumtree too; I've had a few good sales from there in the last year :)

    There's no need to be embarrassed. You'd be surprised by how many people do things like this! It'll be worth it.

    The garden party sounds like a great idea.
