Enough is enough - the great declutter

Lemon_Tree

yay a bit more progress, i've finished the toddler accounts so i have now returned all the paperwork, if they forgive me for taking so long i may end up with some more paperwork to do this years accounts as well but as least i've got rid of this lot before it gets lost forever.
Going to keep going on the little and often routine, i'm sure it will all come straight in the end.

Back from car boot sale, I made a small profit and I do mean small! I now have more stuff than I had to begin with, because of the extra bits I was given to sell that have all come back with me :rotfl:

I did get rid of some bulky items and it wasn't a bad morning out so no worries Any profit is good as far as I'm concerned!

I'll sort through it all later today, put some on Freecycle etc and get ready for another ebay load towards the end of this month.

Thanks for all the offers to fatten me up

What decluttering things is everyone up to this weekend?

Well , thats one cardboard magazine holder and 14 magazines in the recycle bin and 3 storage wallets for peel offs taken by a freecycler....does that count as 18/27?...please tell me it does

Stuff that didn't sell at car boot is now re-sorted and on Freecycle (really hope it will go soon), apart from 2 plastic crates worth which I'm going to try ebaying next time.

Don't think I will be car booting again

Phew... the house is back to normal again! Car boot leftovers all gone except what's now hidden away on my "selling" shelf.

February was amazing and I have made about £1,300 selling my stuff, and done FAR more sorting out than I would have expected, especially the photo collection, thanks to this thread keeping me focused!

I now have nothing listed on ebay, the house is in GREAT shape, and I am going to take a break from all the sorting for most of this month. I'm trying to improve one of my foreign languages, so I'm going to put my energy there for a while instead.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hi all!

Now back in the UK post holiday, we were delayed 3 hours at the airport so a little jet lagged!!

Have started the declutter with going through all the post/leaflets/freebie newspapers that have come through th door during our absence, so recycling now overflowing!! Also as I was putting clothes away from my holiday I took some out to go to 2nd hand shop and some new things that have been in there for ages (still with tag on!) have gone onto the growing pile to sell on ebay!! I am determined to save up for a fab holiday for next year so I am motivated and made my first sale to my daughter today (50p!) and she said is that going in the holiday fund??!! So I've made a start!

Will keep you updated with my progress though feel a bit daunted about getting everthing onto ebay, prob feeling tired today though!

Well done all of you!

Thanks Vivw, I'm pretty stunned about it too! Here's the breakdown with approx figures:

• Entire CD collection - £250
• Camera/camcorder stuff - £550
• Clothes/accessories - £75
• DVD/Video etc - £105
• Books - £30
• Computer accessories - £60
• Kids games (Nintendo stuff) - £180
• Other household/collectors stuff - £50

I still have more to sell after I've had a break, so with a bit of luck might make it to the £1,500 mark!

Welcome back Furrypig! Hope you had a great time!
