Raise £600 extra in April = £36/£600 = £564 to go
List 200 items - 0/200
Clear magazines - 1/66
Time spent studying - 0hrs 0 mins
Declutter 100 items - 0/100
Some Paypal money has arrived in my account so that is now added to my total :j
I'm also going to try and declutter some stuff, excluding items which I will list on ebay and the magazines, but counting stuff put out for boot sale and anything DH adds."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Have you had the going-out-for-the-evening thing, where you try on something, look in the mirror, gasp in horror, rip it off and put on something else, look in the mirror ... repeat
:eek::eek::eek: Oh yes:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: And most of those clothes are gone now - it used to be so easy getting ready to go out as i'd decide what to wear and wear it *wistful sigh* - i actually managed to haul myself out for a run / walk today - will need to build up the running more but i will get there

Sorry to hear you are feeling rough though
Look after yourself. Maybe you should speak to the doc - did you get your thyroid checked again in the end?
My DH very rarely does all the dishes either :mad: He always leaves whatever I need most as well. It's very frustrating!
Woo to free seeds though :T
Thank you for the well wishes - you too peaceandfreedom, it is appreciated
Oh no he doesn't wash the dishes i do all that he was just supposed to move them but mostly moved some of them - oh well its just another job i do now or the pots waiting to be washed get way out of hand as there's nowhere to put them if i don't move whats been done,Sounds like a good weekend planned P&F. Do try the relax and potter days - I always find that I'm way more productive when I decide to do that. And if I'm not, well I've relaxed which was the plan anyway
We are hoping to do at least one car boot this weekend too, fingers crossed the weather improves. I'm thinking that because it's easter sunday many people won't sell as they have stuff planned, but they will still find time to pop out for a mooch about!
Hope its a good carbooty for you jwiland i hope you have some nice relaxing days too
Sadly there is no carboot near me this weekend :eek: it really is shocking ! Oh well, i can have some much needed snooze time

Yay on bagging some freebies. :beer: I haven't sown many outdoor seeds either - I've got some in the greenhouse and some indoors. I've sown some sunflowers and sweet peas outside but they should be OK and in any case I have some 'back-up' seeds which I'll be sowing later in the greenhouse.
It's so cold at the moment, we've had the heating on during the day for the first time in ages. The scorching temperatures and sunshine of last week seem like a long time ago now.
It was fab with the freebies - all planted up and everything - for free - and here i am watering them now- i even have a little bit of green poking through on 1 pot :T:T:T
Good luck for good sales if you do a carboot jwil - i do enjoy the instant money made and clutter gone when i do oneCC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -

Yeah for the extra money :T:T:T and i spotted 1 magazine decluttered too :j Do you sell these hon? I've heard that people do buy magazines -i think they sell more to people abroad as the mags are different to what they'd get - although i guess it depends on the magazines that you have
Loving your list - and the decluttering could tie-in nicely with the 200 eb*y items listed too :cool:
I am officially exhausted - getting my thyroid all checked again and goodness knows what else i think the most they've done at once is 3 lots of blood - you know i asked my doctor what blood type i was and they said they didn't know ? i wonder how you find out ? :think:CC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100MF Date: [STRIKE]August 2042[/STRIKE] May 2035Declutter 1000 things by Xmas 2015! 53/10000 -

Hi Jwil
I havent been on much this week and have lost track of all the diaries. So trying to catch up this morning. Heading away later today for our break to England so really need to be doing something rather than sitting on the laptop:)
Sorry to hear that your amazonia is not going well. I am like yourself sitting with books that have not moved in a long time. I sold 2 items this week but one was only put on the day before. So I am going to go through my books after my holiday and see what can be sent to the charity shop.
I was doing a lot of de-cluttering this week and made the decision to get rid of about 15 heavy housey/garden books. I never read them but they cost a lot of money. I boxed them and gave them into the charity shop. Thought I would miss them but I don't. Too too heavy to sell on either A or Ebay so they had to go.
Have a lovely Easter Jwil and all the best with your challenge above. You will do it Jwil. You always do your best.:)"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"C. S. Lewis

I don't bother selling the magazines, unless there is something special about them. This batch I've got aren't in particularly good nick either so they will be out for recycling.
Are you allowed to give blood? That's how I found out my type. I'm not allowed to any more though"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
