    Quick update!

    125. 2 wrestling figures (OH's!!) collected today via FB selling page

    I've also tried to use a few more bits from the kitchen cupboard rather than buying more cos I haven't checked what's already in there.

    One bra - stretched beyond hope!

    Well done - I think that is amazing. I don't think I'll ever be able to say that.

    Hi

    Just wondering if you could advise me how you go about selling on Facebook.

    Thanks

  • Oh, any ideas of where I could get rid of a Clearblue pregnancy test (unused, but one of 2 pack so no box/instructions (but its fairly obvious!)) as they are expensive but I won't ever use it and it seems a waste just to bin it.

    Can you try selling it on Ebay?
    Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
    Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
    Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
    Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%

    The easiest way to check if your local area has a selling group is to type in your nearest county/city/town/village etc into the search box followed by the word selling. E.g. I live in Lincoln so typed in 'Lincoln selling' or 'Lincoln sell' and it will come up with a list of groups.

    Then it's simply a case of clicking 'join' and you're away! Different groups have different rules, e.g the ones I use ask you to post photos in an album and to only bump them up once every 7 days, but others let you bump as often as you like etc. All I've done is add photos with a comment of what it is/sizes etc, how much I want for it and my rough location then just wait and see if anyone wants it. I've found anything child related sells well - clothes, toys, books, equipment etc. HTH!

    Well done to you. I can't see me getting there anytime soon, but sticking with it, and have posted 4 items sold on eb, and put the newspapers in the recycling -oh, almost forgot, the Council collected the glass for rececling today.

    So 49/100 for February, with only one day to go. Better get a wriggle on then!

    Decluttered in Feb - 49/100, Mar - 82/100
    Decluttered in April - 0/100
