Right challenge number 1 - free listing this weekend, I'm going to aim for 100 new listings :eek: (Yes, I STILL have that much clutter!)

Anyone want to join me? Obviously you don't have to aim for 100, but whatever you want to do

I'll join you. I will go for the massive mind-blowing total of ......... 5 things. :rotfl:

That would be an achievement for me, believe me.

Well I've done 27 items so far :T Going to hunt out some more later.

DH has sorted out a few bits as well, but I'm only counting mine

I've done about 40 re-lists today. Hoping to list some more stuff tomorrow.
We've still got tonnes of stuff to get rid of. :eek:

Oh i'll join in on the listings....although I list on FB normally so will that count (free pick up!) I still have to find the items, wash & iron though so kinda the same lol. 100 is way too much though my lord how do you manage that much :eek: I'll go for 50 xx

P.s you have to catch up on Brizzle!

Hi all,

jwil - well done on getting all those listings done so far - i am in awe I managed to get the 14 newly listed items on tonight which took a bigger effort than expected but its done now *fingers crossed* we all get some sales

peaceandfreedom - lovely to see you again - how are you? Hope you are ok hon. Good to hear that the new job is going well :T Also good to hear that you are going to assess the finances and debt - i found knowing what i owed to who, monthly expenditure and working out a balance to target really helped me focus and shift a good chunk of the debt

jwil, little jwil sounds fab - i always smile when you chat about him i am so pleased for you and mr jwil :T:j As p&f said we all knew you'd be a great mum

i'd love to join in the challenge but not sure if i'm capable completely and utterly shattered once again - need to push myself to book in with the docs again re. thyroid Then again, i've been quite ill for a number of weeks so it could simply be that i am run down having not had the chance or given myself the time to properly recover. I'll plum for 20 newly listed items - giving me 6 more to actually find and list - think this will be a big stretch for me as i'm pretty sure the clothes declutter has been done to the nth degree :eek:

In good money news - i returned an item today and got a £3 refund :T I bought several magazines today :eek: wait for it... all of them were giving away something free that i will (do) use - only mine are often the much cheaper variety - so i got a new nail polish, new mascara, new eyeliner, new lipgloss and lipliner all for the princely sum of £6.50 The mascara that i needed to buy would have cost more that this alone so i was very pleased with my haul - alot of magazines to read now though :rotfl: I also cashed out on a survey site :T and am contemplating a cashback deal but don't think my brain is functioning enough to really think about it

jwil

Just popping in quickly to say 'I did it!' :j :T 100 new listings

I'm shattered. Also sold something on fb today so that was £45 to add :T

Hope everyone else managed ok. Will try and update properly tomorrow but have had lots of sales today too, so lots of packing tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a good day

Blimey that is great going!!! 100 listed AND with a babe in tow...I am in awe!

Xxxx

jwil

Thanks guys

The sales are going ok at the moment - DH's are doing very well. Not sure how I'm going to pack it all though :eek: we've pretty much run out of boxes.

I listed something as 99p with free postage. It's going to cost £10 to post unless I look into a courier (which I think I will do for this). It's a job lot which I wanted to get rid of, have been hanging around for ages and no charity shop would want. I was kind of hoping that it would go up enough to cover the postage, but it's not so far. I did expect to sell it and have to pay to get rid of it, but I don't mind too much, I'm just glad to see the back of it. There's still time though so fingers crossed.

I'm off to sell at a boot sale later, hope everyone else has a good day
