Enough is enough - the great declutter

melvis

I've listed 9 items now and I've only spent just over £1 on listing fees which is ok. Have a few more expensive items I may save to list on Thursday but need everything selling asap so the sooner they are listed the better!

hi i've been a bit quiet of late, sorry. i've just been ashamed of getting so little done. But i have booked the car boot weekend with OH so that's part way to clearing things, and i didn manage to sneak some things into a skip which had gotten no where on freecycle. I also 'donated' a bag of cat toys to my mum's new cat. Isnt' that mean but she's always adding stuff to this clutterbugs house.
I'm also surprised at how much recycling stuff there is, i end up emptying the bin about 4 times a week and if i do a tidy up i always find more that's been sat around for a while, and there's me thinking i chucked it straight away.

i think i may well then start looking at clearing out the toys, besides ebay (if they dont sell) or freecycle is there any other way of getting a good home for them, i know hospitals etc arnt allowed used toys anymore

Hi all.

OUT;
Ebay parcels to the Post Office. (12):D
2 bags of Baby clothes to Niece.
3 Bin bags of rubbish to bin

IN:
3 blow up hammers - Dont ask! went to Camelot yesterday for DD 6th Birthday.

Ebay doing quite well, although have yet to list for tomorrows cheap listing day....Going to try and fill my turbolister up today. Unixgirl just had me thinking that I am sure i have have a drawer full of bras that have been bought and never worn!

I am going to just list a running total of Paypal payments on here as well, as I am getting all muddled with what i have posted on the watching/sold/listed etc front... Pigpen seems to have this off to a good art...... (are you always soooo organised PP?):p

SO
PAYPAL (to date) £67.29
I use a debit card for my ebay acc at the Post office for postage charges, so all comes out of ebay pot. (and not out of my purse):D
