    Tax return prep almost complete... feel really up to date with everything and need a new project to get my teeth into!

    Edit: FINISHED! Only took a day... I'm getting better at this :)

    Oooh it's all gone quiet here, is everyone busy flinging stuff?

    Finally got a largish ebay item out of the house this morning - it was listed in January, non paying bidder, and relisted in March with a slowwwww payer! Luckily they paid just in time before I would have had to pay more for postage :rolleyes:

    I might finally have a taker for the chest of drawers! They say they're coming to have a look at it this weekend... hope they take it, I've been trying to find a home for that one for ages now.

    Ebay listings are going GREAT! £56 so far and that's my target already, I'm wondering if I dare hope for £100 :p Half of them end tomorrow. I am just about to sort the stuff into crates and prepare packaging for the ones that have bids.

    Hope everyone else is doing well today!

    Going to try to get rid of a few more bags to charity shop today and maybe get a few more things listed.. I only have 84 things on since some stuff ended and some went on BIN's

    I have hsold 4 items this morning on ebay and have another 9 finishing today-all have bids on, so including the ones I sold yesterday that should make me about £40 so far-just from junk and odds and sods I need to get rid off. Still got about 12 more things to finish during the week & loads more to list. Sorting out kitchen today and catching up on what seems like mountains of washing!!!
    Well done pigpen and missyg

    another binbag on freecycle.. I decided ebaying baby things is a complete waste of my time and effort.. I would be better served putting the time into finding more to fling and putting these things on freecycle.. so that is what I have done..

    I have .. in the time saved.. found 4 pairs of shoes to ebay which I will get more money for.. see.. I did something sensible for a change!

    Now.. the car seat.. what do I do with that??

    Freecycle as well??

    Yep, Freecycle the car seat!

    My ebay stuff with bids ending tomorrow night is all in packaging now. I am going to need several more smallish boxes for stuff ending on Tuesday. Hmm.
