Hi, We have downsized from a rather large house to a much smaller affair, and have over 40yrs plus of clutter as I never used to throw anything out.
This place used to be a nursery (plants) and the previous owners left a huge amount of stuff ranging from plant pots, machinery to several polytunnels and a gigantic irrigation system so I'm going to give it a go and try to see how much I can raise.
I suppose it will be a bit like a business selling all this stuff, I'll need to get very organised. My motto wll be 'If I haven't used it in the last year - it has to go'

WOW...sounds like you've got your work cut out for you but that's a great position to be in! Good luck with the listing on eBay - not sure I could handle it!

I'd like to join but there's no way I'll get anything near 12K.
I'm pretty much hand to mouth each month and already save what I can.
A realistic challenge for me would be to say 3k - but would be counting what I'll already be hoping to save (plus some extra).
Would 3K be an OK figure for this group?
Or am I lowering the tone?

The whole 12k is just for the crazy people! You can join in with whatever you think you can achieve. This thread is a support place for anyone saving, or at least that's the way I see it - so we can all encourage each other to reach our own goals - whether thats 12 pounds or 12,000 pounds.

Anything is okay by me, you're on the list

Thank you, Slowly. Even £3k is going to be very stretching, but I'll do my best!
