    I am on the verge of actually seeing the conservatory under all the junk! I am just about to buy a wall mounted boot tidy on ebay to get rid of the wellies that seem to live in the conservatory all year round!

    One part of my Great Master Plan for 2012 is to find our conservatory again - unfortubately its not heated and at this time of year is perishing doing anything in there but I think next week I will make a start and hitch up a little convector heater to make it more bearable!

  • I'm feeling awful today and barely survived work so I am on the laptop and going to list all my brothers eBay items. I have nearly used all my free listings, hope a free listing weekend is coming up!! I've got 4 items to post and 7 more items that will sell that aren't ending for a while. Can't wait for all this stuff to be gone!

    56. Metal shelving unit removed and dismantled from toy cupboard and listed on ebay. I just hope it sells, I don't want it hanging around too long.
    57. One more carrier full to ragbag @ school collection point
    58. Kids broken beaker top - bin
    59+60. Plastic tubs to recycling

    I have been listing steadily on ebay too. Fingers crossed it all goes.
    I have managed to keep the lounge tidy for 2 whole days, kids have even enjoyed playing in there today - enough space to have their teepee tent up!

    I decluttered my conservatory a couple of years ago and I love it. I haven't let it get cluttered again and as soon as it's warm enough I relocate from the cool, dark lounge

    A bit slow going here at present, more in than out. I've got a sheet and a pair of pillowcases from eb*y, 4 books, a cub uniform, some hair straighteners, a hair curler and a hair-drier in. Out was a manky old baking sheet and a chipped plate.
    February totals: 46/100
    Off to work in a minute and need to come home and take DD's bike into school for her in the morning for her cycling proficiency. She starts at 8 and won't be able to get it there on time so I said to DH that I'd take it down for her in the morning as I can then walk back so he can just take DS to his school as normal. Really hope we don't get snow or ice now overnight or I'll have to walk it down instead of cycling.
    As I'm going to be in bed Saturday morning, I'm hoping that I can get away with an at home day on Saturday when they all get back from Aikido and we can do some more decluttering.
    Need to get a load of clothes listed on thebay including DS's beavers uniform. He's only had it since April so hopefully it'll sell for a little bit of a return. It'll save the Mum from sewing on the badges at least!

    I've had an email from eb@y, this weekend is free listing. :j

    Thinking of selling an infant carseat with base, a musical cot mobile, a booster seat, and a few toys. Might just put them on for three days as it annoys me waiting a week or more...

  • Decluttered boot of The Husband's car yesterday as it had to go in for a service. Spent most of last night shredding! Another recycling bag to Mr Binny Man on pick up day. :D

    Taking a dying printer into work today in the hopes that the techy bloke can revive it. If he can't then I can add it to the electrical stuff at work that gets picked up and recycled properly.
    :A

    Will be looking at sheets/duvet covers/pillow cases at the weekend after being reminded on here about them! I keep the ones that I use the most in sets, but there are other bits and pieces around that I'm sure I can get rid of somehow.
