    I think I should join this thread now too! I'm in the Mortgage Free in Three current challenge and without extra earnings I'll quickly fall behind.

    I'm also on a massive clutter clearing binge as I have far too much "stuff" in my house that needs clearing and getting a bit of money for it all will all help.

    I'll have to put down for 100 items a month too as I've signed my Mum up for weekly boot sales when the weather improves and I eBay each week!

    Thank you.

    Having checked the relevant websites I've now scheduled a boot sale for Sunday if the weather allows.

    I'll write up on here my list of at least 50 things to get rid of through this half of March as it'll be lovely to update it with all things crossed off.

    I have a 2 chance system with my "stuff". They are put in a boot sale twice (often 2 different locations) and if they don't sell in that time they either go in the bin or to charity.

    :D
