    All I would say is dont bother with books - unless they are specialist text books then they seem to go for a reasonable price - well in my experience:)

    Actually I have hopeless amounts of books. What should I do with them instead? Charity shop?

    I continued with the decluttering and spring cleaning today!

    My bedroom is now tidy woo hoo!
    I put another two items of clothing into a bag for charity. I got rid or one bag of rubbish. I also shredded a carrier bag full of old paperwork.

    Reading the messages in this thread motivates me so thank you everyone!

    Who knows but they don't charge to list in many other EU countries. Very naughty. I suppose I'd better do some listing ready to put on tomorrow as I'm working all day Sunday and don't fancy trying to do it on Sunday evening!
