    Just a quick update. I'm back at work but still trying to keep on top of things at home. Encouraged the boys to have a quick tidy up and managed to recycle some cardboard and paper, throw out some general rubbish and put some empty bottles in the recycling bag.

    Everyone is doing great

    I've just bought myself a new car so need to get some good ebay sales (as I spent a bit more than I wanted to) but have 2 ebay parcels to post so going to go do that now and get listing some more this evening.

    I've got a few DVDs to take into the trade in shop tomorrow, they usually give 50p each so will be a few extra quid.
  • Hi
    i sold 8/9 of my eb*y items :) i have posted 4 and had 2 collected. One more is awaiting collection and one still to be paid for/posted. I have also given away a bag of odds and ends of art and craft stuff, some hama beads and some children's coat hangers all on freecycle. So that makes a grand total so far of.............

    I have to admit I'm not doing very well at all this month, new shift patterns at work are not helping, and I've had to be round at my dad's a few times, to help him with getting his tv switched over to digital and a few repairs, but if this rain ever stops maybe we'll be able to sort some stuff in the shed, and that will get rid of about a million items at least, lol!

    I took a digi box to my dad's, which DS had kindly donated as he doesn't use it any more, and later today I will be taking some money to the bank for my dad (a carrier bag of coins which have been on the floor in my kitchen for at least a week) and posting a small ebay parcel.

    This morning I took the old portable tv from the kitchen, (and put it in the spare room for now), as it doesn't work since switchover and we've now ordered a new digi tv which will go on the wall, and give me a bit more worktop space in the kitchen, looks better in there already.

  • Finished early yet again, been tweaking some ebay listings a bit to try and get some more sales. As got lots of watchers and viewers but no bidders yet. Popping to Tesco later but going to do some more eBay listings before and after I go. I have a bag for the charity shop I am going to take in Wednesday and got another load for the tip to take too.

    I thought my sugar soap had turned up today as I missed a parcel but it was a large box of samples and a lovely lip balm. I have so many samples over 200 but at least it saves me a lot of money on beauty products so we will ignore those as ins :D

    HI Guys :D

    Just thought i should pop in and join you - my house is a tip :o and the garage is full to bursting :eek:. I have sold things at markets and fairs on and off for years but due to a sudden health change i have been unable to do this for quite some time and have many boxes of things as a result. I do not want to throw this stuff out as i do have large debts to sort out and i know this lot will help me whittle that downwards a bit more.

    I have been trying to sell things on ebay/amazon with varying success but sometimes i just feel like i am moving things from one corner to another :o and my OH doesn't believe i am actually going to get rid of any of it!!

    I want to clear out my spare room to start with as i want to try and make a go of starting a craft business and the room would be necessary - health reasons make it practically impossible for me to work so this is an attempt to at least do something work like as best i can.

    From what i have read you guys have a target of 100 things a month?? Although we are halfway through the month of April i would still like to try and aim for this :)

    I have spent the last few days listing on ebay, amazon and facebook so hopefully some of it will move soon :)

    I will declutter I will declutter I will declutter :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I did post some ebay sales today but want to start afresh so 0/100 for me right now :eek:
