In: Nothing
Out: Storage drawer for 5.25 disks! (found this lurking in the loft), a broken belt, shredded paperwork (still going through this).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 J0 -

Out:
-2 single mattresses put on the driveway (I was going to organise for the council to collect). Got a knock at the door before I could ring council - lady at the door asking if she could have the mattresses! Help yourself!!! Saves me 12 pound disposal fee!!!
-Carrier bag of photographic magazines
Lining up to get rid of a fridge freezer - OH has a newer model and our one has started rusting badly on one corner - will have to pay council to remove as its not fair to land it on a freecycler.
In: Nothing, thank goodness!
eBay:
Had to give a refund of 3.79 as I had been accused of misrepresenting the item - don't agree with the point being made and would normally insist they return the item but I can't be bothered to argue.
Sold four items through B.I.N - 88.50 raised (before costs)! Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!0 -
