    FThere is a blanket box in my attic (left from previous owners), however as I have only peeked from the ladder - been in this house for over a year and still not set foot in the attic! - I'm not too sure of it's condition....
    There might be a body in it :eek:. Or it might be full of money :T. Or dead spiders, newspapers and Xmas decs :cool:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm rather hoping for a dead body, however knowing my luck it will be stuffed full of money. Bl**dy typical when I could really do with a dead body.......

  • Thanks Guys

    Had a furniture switch round as decluttering DD2 room for decorating. Moved her nice pine blanket chest into DD3 room and therefore grotty one can go out of DD3 room! Be nice to make £5 but don't think its worth more than that, defo skip fodder.

    Put loads of piano music only and already had question. OH dad gave us, as kids play, but its old stuff that they arent interested in plus strongly suspect he was decluttering. Has sat in music room for 18 months, so needs to go. Still more to put on.
    Next ebay items (waiting for FLW) is ice skates DD3's, hardly worn :mad: with box.
    Other 99p items are loads of NY Masks in dressing up cupboard that brought back from do I went to (was very drunk and so collected them) their are some really nice ones.

    Pleased assignments progress. Have a to do list ready for next one as need to get this pain over asap!:(

    Well done for eBaying - I managed to get over 30 items listed so I'm now excitedly watching bidders and buyers!
  • Not doing well on adpoints, last week it allowed me to redo some but this time it won't. Only hit 200 points.

    Unfortunately ebay has led me to bid on a coffee table, cabinet and 3 piece small table set!!! all different sellers.

    Good luck ammonite, its such fun. My utility currently looks like a charity shop though!

    Great OP :T
  • Thanks everyone, it lovely having a place to share.

    Has a big chunk of endowment in there but worked out using OP calculator it would actually save us money to cash in. Accidently went up an extra floor today as was marching up the stairs, thinking of lovely OP, then bumped into someone i knew who asked where I was going, Of which I responded "to work" they then point out I was on D floor (i work on C) I was working out my next payment.... in the clouds.
    Wouldn't it be lovely if it could always be big chunks.
    Hoping to cover Op's in Jan with my own saves.
