eBay brought me £21 after postage but spending that on a new buggy for our holiday, which is needed as our pram is huge! Once Evelyn is out of the clip on car seat ill be selling that pram and will probably get £150 for it.
I've listed 5 things at 99p so far and hoping to list some more. Got a lady coming for some shelves tonight for £2. Still aiming to pay £50 to credit card by end of month

OH went to a gaming show in Sheffield this weekend (2 nights away, but thankfully stayed with friends). He hoped to sell £400/500 worth of stuff, but when he got there it was a "Bring & Buy" type place where you left your stuff and came back later for your money. This is bad news for him as he is passionate about his craft which comes across when he is selling and he is normally very successful.
Sadly he has come home after petrol costs with about £80 :mad: and 20 miles out of Sheffield, the exhaust on his van snapped in half so he had to cobble something together with a petrol can hose, a plastic bottle and a metal tube he found in the back of the van. Needless to say, the whole damned thing fell off completely at Scotch Corner.
So, the upshot is, the £80 will be going to the Mechanic in town later today to fix/replace the exhaust instead.
Never mind, we will get there.Decluttering junk and debt in 2016

Hi y'all!
Truly - that is a real painHope it doesn't end up too expensive!
Sold a printer on fb selling page, however this person has already messed me around so whether he will turn up tonight remains to be seen!
Been working solidly, doing full time this week! as well as doing exam marking, so hoping to have a nice chunk to pay back to family next month
I am putting aside 250 of car balloon payment (10% each month) 4 more to put aside then can keep that earning interest! Will then keep transferring across 250 but use that for family loan. Feeling very positive about next month!

Morning All,
Been a bit quiet on here so thought I'd report in with a couple more percent, now up to 57%. Sold some more trains I had when I was a kid.
Had expected about £10 ea for two of the engine/loco ones, but they must have been collectable as in the last hour they shot up on eBay to £36 and £47 to the same guy! :j
Still waiting for payment for some others, which I have a feeling will be relisted on Sunday, but got others in the pipeline too, so all good!

Wow, well done Rushy :T:T:T I really should get into Ebay as I now have a few bits which I need to sell to make room including massive amounts of Thomas The Engine Trains & Track and a very large ELC dolls house complete with all the furniture. I also need to sort out selling/scrapping my old Ford Focus.
Anyway quick update from:- I have just managed to get to the bank and paid in £195 into the savings. This is made up of £185 craft fair earnings and my £10 swagbucks paypal cash (which has now been used towards daughters gift). So:-
Member 17 = 40% :j:j:j:j
I've booked another craft fair for Saturday at a farmers market in a nearby village so although not expecting fantasic amounts, hopefully I will get enough to add a few more quid to pot
