Decluttering 2012, this year, definitely ...

Oscar_the_Pug

Have searched on the forum for this, but couldn't see anything. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with old lipsticks?

I have several which don't really suit me - free gift type things, and I have no idea what to do with them. Seems a shame to send to landfill, but I won't ever use them.

Before anyone suggests it I have already crushed some down, mixed the colours together and added some lip balm in a little pot. What do I do with the others? They are all similar browny beige shades which just don't suit my colouring.

If unused eBay?

With old makeup, my friend gave all hers to the local theatre. They were so happy to take it off her hands. Might be something to try and see if they were interested.

All my items from last weekends free listing have ended so now relisting at 99p.

I've been given the afternoon off which is great because I have 2 of those big Blue Green Bags from Tesco full of clothes to list on eBay :O and that was just me sorting a tiny bit of my wardrobe, also old pants for the bin but now I have no idea where to buy some nice shiny new pants.

I've just got started on the clothing pile. Don't think I'll have much work this week so it's eBay and cleaning this week I think!

Last day of the hols for my girls today so haven't done too much today but we have mangaed:

30. 3 ebay items posted
31. Packaging for above used up
32. Cotton wool pad packet and spray recycled/binned
33. 3 old bath toys finally relinquished - plastic toy flowerpot/Pooh bear toy and a little thing for using in sand! - Recycled/CS
34. Small bag of surplus or broken crayons/pencils/rulers/sharpeners to CS bag and bin

OH has sold some more blu-rays, and also has a job lot of dvds on ebay. He's also found a few more bits to sell so we'll see how that goes. We could really do with some extra pennies that the moment so will be making a push to sell stuff on ebay and facebook groups.

What about giving it to a local charity i.e for homeless or a woman'shelter.

I have been quiet over the hols but now kids are back at school I am back on it!
Last week I sold 52 books on eBay :eek: and this week I have so far posted 18 eBay parcels :j
That brings my total up to 103 so far this month with a huge zapper box ready to go and over 70 items still running on eBay I am confident of reaching my 200 target
Oh and also hoping to declutter my provisional licence as I have my driving test v soon

Edited to add 11 children's books sold on Facebook

been gradually culling what ive got indoors as i seem to be collecting and not decluttering. mainly books i will probably never read and clothes i seem to think i will one day soon miraculosly fit me/not really needed. all picked up in charity shops.
took a fair sized bag of odds and ends the weekend to local charity shop. plus am hoping to freecycle one of my 2 'spare' tv's.
am hoping to have a good sift through the next few days, plus learn to be a bit more ruthless about shifting the junk.

Another early finish at work so getting round to listing some of these clothes. I have about 28 items finishing today so will relist some but with the postage changes some aren't worth it anymore.
