Possession, it is easy for the clutter to begin to build up. I decided to car boot all my stuff, just to get it out of the house. I know I could have probably got more by selling on ebay, but had no where to store it outside of the house (the sheds are full of tat that needs sorting).

I am the same, the only space at the moment for putting stuff to charity shop/ car boot is the conservatory and that has just become a mess now and I don't know when I will be doing a car boot. I thought about ebay but I have never sold anything on there before and I don't know whether anyone would want my old stuff!

Posted 2 ebay parcels today, using 2 jiffy bags from stash, but was annoyed when I got to the post office, as 1 parcel which I'd charged £1 postage for, actually cost me £2.20 as it was too thick to go as large letter, and I only got 99p for the item anyway! :mad:
