Well, I've managed to get some ebay sales last night so this morning, I am going to go out in the garden and plant all of my new plants. I'm then going out the front to sort out my strawberries. Then I'll hang out the washing (which has already finished- woohoo but can't hang it yet or it'll get in my way when I'm planting) and then I shall come back in and have 11ses and pack my ebay parcels. I am hoping they will have all paid by then. I shall even walk down to the PO today I think.
It's so lovely today that it becomes inspirational to get outside and DO stuff rather than sitting inside wishing I lived in a tidy house with a pretty garden!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
Haha, 11ses are a little later than planned! The plants are all in though so that's good. I have filled my black bin with polystyrene and broken plant pots now so the garden looks much tidier and has some pretty flowers in it. Now I'm off to get changed, give my neighbour her tub back as it's been sitting on my draining board for a few weeks :eek: and then wrap and post my ebay parcels.
Unfortunately no P&P on these so hope they are not too expensive to post!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
I've sold some stuff on eBay just waiting for people to pay. People seem to be taking soo long to pay. Going to post some tomorrow. I'm going to list everything for 99p as I would just like it gone now! Got so much to sell still.0

Everyone is doing fantastic, I on the otherhand haven't managed any de-cluttering today as was called into work early and finished late, ironing, washing, cooking and am now ready for bed.
Tomorrow will be better.
Keep up the great work:T

Managed a total of 3 ebay outs, 3 lots of packaging, 1 pair of socks (toe through the end!) and have cut my sky bill by £20+ per month. I just have to remember to use the special number before I dial out so I get calls for 5p per call. I'm going to make some stickers to put on the phones so we don't forget this!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0

Got rid of 2 cookery booklets (the kind that come free with a magazine). OK, so I'm clutching at straws here but I need to add to my total somehow!

Off up to the charity shop soon & taking 2 bulging bags for the rag man
outs:
15-24 t shirts
25 p& 26 2 pairs trousers
27 load of orphaned/holey socks
They get £6.50 for a 10kg sack of rag so it's well worth me dropping it in as I'm passing anyway2016: No Clutter to Be Seen 805/2016

The charity shop I used to volunteer in was making hundreds in rag alone each week and some weeks more than what was taken through the till! Some weeks I was told to rag perfectly good clothes as we could not store them or no room left to sell them.
I've got 7 parcels to post tomorrow. Really can't be bothered today as not feeling well. Going to get some more listed this afternoon I think as keep finding new stuff to sell.0
