    Way to go Missy! :T
    I have too much to do before venturing in the loft! :eek:

    Well:

    In: nothing

    Out: nothing :o

    Ebay:
    All items sold.
    Total £27.54 - had hoped for £30 but it was VERY slow on Ebay yesterday. :(
    Not listing anything on Ebay for a few weeks as the half term hols are imminent and it seems to slow down.
    Will still take photo's and write descriptions ready for in a week or two.

    I read something about free gallery pics but it said if listed in Euro's??? Is that correct? :confused:

    Happy flinging!

    Operation Toy-mess-conversion is almost complete, lol.

    Eldest's new bed is now in there, with a mattress on, and he should spend his first night in his new room tonight.

    No 'after' pictures yet though as there is still a heap of toys to clear out of the corner of the room - we're waiting on a new cupboard unit for the younger boys room, but should only take a day or two now :D


    Nothing out though, other than the empty boxes from the bed etc. My tabletop sale didn't happen at the weekend - kids too ill to drag out - so I now have to find homes for all the boxes I'd gathered in the hall - hopefully I'll find a carboot to do over the Whit week break.

    :)

    well yesterday went well. I managed to find homes for 10 african violets. It looks like we might have a house going very soon too. Of course that adds to the decluttering pressure as i need more room for oh's stuff at my house.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Hello!

    Mind if I rejoin this thread? I did go through a major decluttering phase a couple of months ago and never quite got round to completing it. So im back with avengeance!

    In:

    One Ikea bathroom cabinet so that nothing needs to be displayed in the open. I seem to have accumulated a lot of bathroom 'stuff' and it just looks a mess.

    Out:

    Assorted magazines, various carp in a bin bag (not worth doing anything else with like freecycle etc) and a couple of things to go in the ebay pile in the loft. Almost a bin bag of carp photos have been slung and pretty much every piece of mail has now been scanned and thrown away, with the exception of a few warranties and insurance polices. they are now stored in a box in the wardrobe.

    In fact, the loft is pretty stacked with stuff I can sell and I think a lot of it is only worth a car boot sale. I think I will get on to that next month. In the mean time, I need to go through my cupboards and drawers again and start dejunking, there wont be a lot more to get rid of given how much I slung out last time, but it doesnt hurt to check. What I need to do is start getting rid of some of OH's stuff, he has way too many clothes that he never even wears. I think I will put them in one of those vaccuum sealed bags in the loft incase he does want them later.

    Anyway, must dash off to get ready for work now, good luck flinging!

    Jo x

    Big hugs ((((((((((((((:o )))))))))))) for spendless

    missyg - congratulations ! :T You put to real shame.............I really must get rid of some more (or at least prevent it accumulating all over again!)

    Nothing out, nothing in - that can't be bad can it so maybe I'm getting there a little bit just by not buying 'stuff' :j
