Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Evening everyone.

Not managed to get much done today as I've been hiding in the kitchen trying to keep warm whilst the bathroom guys do their thing. Can't believe they are still here, they started at 8 this morning and are still hard at it!

I have successfully uploaded my 36 items on to eBay, was going to do it tomorrow but figured 5 day listing ending on Saturday will give me all day Sunday to get them ready for posting as I am working next Monday. Perhaps I am being a tad presumptuous that thay are actually going to sell, but 3 already have watchers after 5 minutes!!!

Had to empty the cupboard over the stairs earlier to get access into the loft so will have a look at what can be disposed of before I put it back.

Onwards and upwards xx

Decluttering has slowed to a virtual standstill! I think I need to start again in February

On the plus side,my friend has just added me to a new facebook group for selling childrens clothes, and not limited to the local area either, so I'll be using that now to get rid of the kiddies clothes. Idea is to use paypal etc,so that's another avenue for me!!

Not sure if I can post the name of the group? If anyone wants to know it, pm me x

Hi guys
Those of you who've used Zapper - how long do you have to wait for the payment? They emailed me on 23rd to say cheque being authorised. I've not had it yet. Should I give it a bit longer? Somewhere I read 10 days but I can't see that anywhere so not sure where I got the figure from! Thanks

I offloaded 2 more boxes to CS today and posting some bits tomorrow. In anticipation of that I'm up to 86. I count a box as one item instead of the individual ones in it, so I've exceeded the 100, but I want to try and do it by the rules I set myself at the start, so need to get busy tonight/tomorrow to get rid of another 14:eek:! Wish me luck!! :cool:

Made an effort today to boost my score and bagged up clothes that I never wear but I'm still not at the 100 items. I will be by tomorrow though!

Another good day, I found a home for all my family history stuff. It's given me a huge job, though. All the photos need to be sorted and the names of the people written on the back as no one else will know who they are. There are some I don't recognise and that frustrates me but there's nothing I can do abut it. Another huge bag of junk has gone out. I should have kept a count really but I shall start in February. Feeling really good.
