well done you declutterers, I did this 2 yrs ago and now do a monthly once over - the fly lady thread is good for inspiration and if you are really dedicated the library will have some books on how to become an expert at this... it can become an obsession!

Ebay items finished - half the stuff being watched didn't get bid on

Guess that means 15 items to reduce the price on and relist
