    Well done Kayjay, this decluttering and selling the proceeds is very addictive. The only problem is that I have a small business selling collectables, and instead of decluttering, I seem to be bringing in more :o

    OUT: 8 bras (not my size anymore and only worn once or twice and some were new. Total profit on ebay £68!!!! :j ), some magazines from last year that were lurking in the magazine rack under the fish tank table.

    IN: one shirt for OH.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    the first lot of stationery for my PGCE

    OUT

    a big pile of paperwork, sent to the relevant places

    doing quite well considering today is essentially a lazy day. worked my way through the pile of clothes that needed buttons sewn on or hemming (im proud to say my sewing is s-l-o-w-l-y improving :j). i then put them all away neat and tidy.

    went for a run to deliver my student finance forms and CRB paperwork to the relevant places, which means a great big tick on the to do list - go me!

    plan for this evening is to either sort out our photos from our holiday in cuba and put them in the album, sort through my box of sentimental stuff, or purge the paperwork.

    plan for tomorrow was to run errands in town, but having seen the weather forecast i might have to rethink :eek:

    hope everyone is making great progress
