OUT
1 juniour/cotbed mattress via Freecycle

IN
NOTHING :j:j

I'm doubting it is going to stay with more going out than coming in though since its the holidays and I really need to do something with my clothing - I have going out stuff (but all tops), and a couple of smart items, then some casual tops and 3 pairs of jeans so I need to increase certain areas. :rolleyes: Best going in the holidays would you believe as DD is VERY honest when it comes to clothes :rotfl::rotfl:

Hello you lovely lot, glad to see it's full steam ahead on here

Thanks for the heads up about half price day Pigpen. The feedback thing is just so wrong... I'm glad I got the bulk of my stuff done in the first part of the year before this came in :rolleyes:

This is a bit of a question... but has anyone sold used bras on ebay? Are you even allowed to? I mean hardly worn good condition ones, not the 'well worn' type :rotfl: (although no doubt there would be a certain type of market for the latter...)

I have some really nice ones that I only wore for a very short time before my size had changed when I was losing weight.

missy.. I have recently sold some used bras on ebay.. they had been worn only once or twice. There isn't an option in the item specifics to list 'used' so I left that part blank and put appropriate info in the item description.. LIKE THIS I didn't include the matching pants though that would be gross!

Have been decluttering for a year or so now (on & off) but thought posting on here might help to motivate me!!:D

Just wanted to say...Pigpen - you are amazing!!!!! How do you find the time to do all that you do when your kids must keep you SO busy? I only have 3, but have hardly any time to myself lol:rotfl: - hats off to you!!:T

Anyhow...so far today....

IN: nothing

OUT:

• 3 pairs of shoes to recycling point
• 2 big bagfuls of plastic carrier bags in the car to take to recycling tomorrow!
• wicker chest (broken) & 1 black bag of rubbish to go to the tip tomorrow
• 14 books (currently in a pile on my chest of drawers) to be returned to my sister tomorrow
• 1 black bag for the charity shop
• few books/DVDs/toys for DS' summer fair at school (to take to school next week!)
• Have posted my microwave steraliser, bottle bag & a nokia charger on Freecycle (can't be doing with Ebay at the moment!)

Will do more, hopefully, tomorrow - but looks like I'll be driving round a fair bit, disposing of items!!!:rotfl:

oh well the item i had to do a dispute for and ended it today (i had no contact during the 8 days) sold tonight a few hours after i listed it, i listed it on a buy it now for few pounds less but sold it only with immediate payment

woohoo 6 large parcels to go tomorrow and in the last 2 weeks ive made just over 300 which is now on its way to my bank account

dont think i have muchy worth selling now so other bits and bobs will get cleared out for freecycle

I just ignore them and let them trash the house!! lol

Ok.. so that is why I list in 5's.

I take about 50 pics all at once.. upload them to the pc then go through them 5 at a time listing them.. 5 listings take about 15-20 minutes... I can fend them off that long lol

grr at my last post off to sort the muck up i made

all 6 parcels still waiting here for parcelforce to collect needed to go out at 2.30 hmm not looking likely (he is always here by 12 lol)

I don't believe anyone's house can be as cluttered as ours But we did a May Market in our village yesterday and round one of decluttering netted us £100!!!! My hubby is treating himself to a bottle of whisky and with my share I've paid for a magazine subscription and our son is saving his...

debt, what debt ok so I know we should be paying it off but we were so euphoric yesterday we decided to split the proceeds between us.

I'm going to do a few car boots over the next couple of months see if we can't declutter some more... although at the moment we're only decluttering the attic :rotfl:
