    Morning all.
    CS bag is half filled and I have 2 boyfriend jeans to list on ebay when next free listing weekend comes round. I may post them on gumtree or pre-loved and see what happens cos I think the postage on ebay will be extortionate.
    I plan to have a sort out of something this weekend but not sure what as yet. :(

    It's free to list in auctions till the 5th if that's any help :)

    ooh, I had no idea thanks dizzy lizzie! I normally rely on an email from ebay notifying me of free listings but have not had one for the whole of December I don't think.

    Reporting back.

    I've started on a wardrobe in my room. The top bit is home to various vases, glasses etc. I've cleaned it out and washed everything about 2/3rds of it I'm keeping and the rest is going to charity.

    As luck would have it, I didn't have a box to put the items in until there was a knock at the door. I've had a delivery (bargain from the grabbit board, presents not clutter. So they will be leaving) 5 small items but in a perfectly sized box for my clutter.

    On to my clothes now, already have half a black bag full.

    Charlie's-mum do take care of your back. I have a disc problem and a back back is awful x

    Two bags to the charity shop yesterday. I can't really count it towards my decluttering this year as I earmarked the items ages ago.

    I find it really satisfying when stuff leaves the house. I am beginning to think it gives me more of a thrill than when I buy things.
