    Might give it a go then missyg - though I just had a look and anything around that time seems to be £1.99 at the minute.........:confused: I've got quite a few of them though so might be worth a shot.

    eek.. we were on page 3.. I almost had to get my breasts out!! :eek:

    I have 9 things ending today.. 5 have bids.. :D

    I have 6 ebay things to bag up to post today too..

    Only sorted 8 to list though and my camera appears to have disappeared!!

    We have a charity shop collection tomorrow so I'll try to fill at least 1 bag... shouldn't be too hard!

    The bins were emptied today too so I have 2 hollow wheelies to refill!! :D.. easy peasy.. I also need to nag hubby to get the junk from out the front shifted.. it is most unsightly!! There are a few bits of broken stuff in the back to chuck too so I'll sort that too.

    I've put 20 items on ebay this morning, including my old tax discs. I'd just love it if the tax discs sell as to me they are just useless bits of paper that happened to be in the car and without this thread it would have never ocurred to me to ebay them.

    Fingers crossed my items sell well. if they don't then it's down to the charity shop and tip as i'm not keeping them in my house!

    This represents the very last of my clutter and in 10 days time i will be clutter-free - hurray

    Are old tax discs collectable then? It would never have occurred to me either!

    I'm going to list my stuff this evening. Good luck all! :D

    My bedroom has reached the state of being in such a mess, I don't know where to start! The six binbags full of stuff that went out on Monday was all from the loft, so I'm still in utter chaos.

    Having bit of a bad day, so far.

    Only difference I can see at the minute is I can now hang stuff in the wardrobe and actually find it when I'm looking for it (when I was clearing out I found a jumper I'd been looking for all winter that was hidden under a pile of others.........lol)
    Can now hang up shoe tidy in the cupboard (and its full of shoes.).......can hang up handbags as well so I know what Ive got............
    Just got to remember now where I've re--housed stuff I wanted to keep in comp. room..........still loads of stuff in here but its all nicely packed in storage boxes...........forgot to make not of whats where though for some things...............(note to self...........label everything !!!)

    Forgot to give away lovely long dress. and there's some voile curtains and bits of material upstairs in drawers as well....think I decided I had a use for them though...
    The long dress doesn't fit me and my friend gave it me so am loathe to put it in the charity shop else she'll see it. But it doesn't take up that much space and that can go next time round.

    Think my next clear out will be cupboard under the stairs - I know there's two sewing machines in there but they don't work.........sure it wouldn't take a lot to get one of them fixed then I'll get rid of the other.
    Not sure about some of the stuff in blanket boxes till I go through them............think I'll do that next week when I come back from seeing Mum.
    Got all confused with the builder..........thought he was coming to start work on Tuesday but he's not.........he's phoning me then !! Stupid me !!:confused:
    Brain must have gone into 'numb' zone !!!

    Oh and forgot to mention that electronic typewriter has been taken as well............at last !!!
