    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Grrr, clearing out OH's loft this morning.

    Put a couple of ads on freecycle to see if anyone wants a load of 2007/8 magazines and a Christmas tree and decorations.

    Some good ebay potential (if I can convince OH to part with it) :D
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
  • Yeyy :j Our Ebay things have finished, and we made £343.65 :beer:
    What a brilliant start.
    I've also got rid of about 5 carrier bags full of stuff on Freecycle already, and have more people coming for things this afternoon.

    OH needs the money he's made on Ebay (£90) to get him out of his overdraft, and I'm going to put £200 into our savings pot, and keep what's left to buy myself a treat :j
    I'm going to do some more de-cluttering today too.

    Well done YorkshireChick - that's an excellent total. Mine are only up to £23!!! I don't want to spoil things, but don't forget to keep some aside for ebay charges.

    Oh dear..................plans to do the Street Sale quite literally washed away with the rain so we still have boxes of 'stuff' to get rid of. Oh well, there'll be another one in September.........if it rains then I'll freecycle the lot.
    One of our neighbours was very brave and attempted selling a few things and I have to confess to reaching into my purse for £1.

    So

    In...............pretty photo album (needed one to replace my tatty ones)

    Out.............nothing :confused:
