    Well done moneyspider!! I've run out of things to sell, and I mean, run out! After doing this challenge for nearly 3 years I really don't have much left to sell, my home is beyond minimal!!

    I have nothing to add today but I am doing carp loads of surveys and sb's. I need some new trousers but refuse to pay for them so lots of m&s vouchers needed :D

    Just received 18.81 from quidco.

    Got a few BIN's on Eb*y but nothing is really selling, got 6 watchers on one thing which is really frustrating as it finishes in 2 hours so will probably have to relist, might leave it to later in the month. I really can't be bothered with it right now, feel like I lived in the post office in December ;)
    Half way there already so I'm hopeful for this month as well.

    I wish I'd run out of things to sell Nat.
    I just keep buying more though (can tell myself it just means more to sell in a few months :/ )
    Only bits and pieces from Facebook etc, £1 here, 50p there, so I can tell myself I'm not spending much, but we just have so much stuff, and not the space for it all.
    Every time I try and have a clear out I think 'Oh, but DS2 might love that when he's slightly older" or "Well DS1 plays with that like once a month" ;) )
    I really want to get our home looking like a home, nicely decorated everywhere, and inject some prettyness into it so it's how I'd like it to look, but at the moment I just don't think it's worth it because the clutter is just too overpowering. :(

    No money to report. Need a bit of luck to get there this month me thinks.

    Ooooh i got my £10 voucher from maxi this morning - that was really quick, just ordered it on sat i think LOL! wish they were all that quick!

    My balance now up to £80.72

    I also had some little bingo wins last night but i figure i'm about even with the £2 i spent to get my free games so not adding it!

    Monkeynut i'm not good with decluttering either but i am going to really really try hard this year as i have so much. I am trying to look at it in a different way than i ever have before - looking at the value of the space in my home it will give me to get rid rather than i MIGHT use that. So far it seems to be helping :) Often i think we block ourselves with certain thought patterns - Mine is about wasting money so the value thought was important. If yours is about the kids toys for example maybe thinking well if i sell 10 cheap things i could get them 1 better toy......something they might like better AND means having less in the house. Not sure if thats helpful and you need to think about your own thought patterns to make it work for you :)

    Hi Everyone Glad to see you are all doing well.I am decorating at the moment (wish I had never started) As woodburner is fitted on Thursday:D So need to at least do the bit of wall where that is going.Its going to be a long job as house is all open plan :(

    The bad thing is not earning any extra but good thing is not spending either :D
    Extra job coming in tommorrow will add it when paid.
    Still not listed on Eb*y but glad really as don't really want to have to keep running off to the post office which is 4 miles away and you have to find somewhere to park which is not easy :(

    Managed to squeeze a couple of surveys in today ;) When I was supposed to be painting I really don't know which is worse :)

    Anyway better get on with it (sigh and roll eyes) Good luck to all of you x

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice

    A good way to declutter. Have I used it or has it been used in the last six montha, does it fit?

    No, sell it.

    That should help.
