    I've sold another book this morning and have redeemed £20 in amazon vouchers from two survey sites :j

    I'm feeling very enthusiastic at the moment, so going to try and get as much done as possible.

    I'm listing stuff for DH today, so not likely to get much on for me. I'll see if I can do something though.

    I've had some more sales over the weekend and have withdrawn another £35 from paypal :j

    I didn't manage to get any listing done, but now that the new month is here, will try and get some more done this week.

    Could really do with a free listing weekend though to help with some relists!

    I did contemplate selling at a car boot on Saturday, but decided I couldn't be bothered.

    I spent some time decluttering instead :)

    I'm really starting to notice the difference now, even though there's still a long way to go.

    I've decided on a few more things that can go so that's good.

    We went to have the usual look around the car boots yesterday. I managed to pick up little jwil some shoes for 50p :T

    I'm a bit wary of sending him in expensive shoes to nursery as already a couple of things have been misplaced, so I'm going to send him in the car boot shoes and then will keep the decent ones for at home. They don't wear shoes indoors at nursery anyway, so he won't be needing them that much.

    Not much else to report really. I'm tackling the huge pile of free ou books I got from Freecycle a couple of years ago. I'm just reading through them and then sending them for recycling. They are well annotated and a little out of date now, so I'm sure a charity wouldn't want them.

    It's a massive pile of books as it's a whole degree course, so it's quite satisfying to see the pile reducing bit by bit.

    I've found a company that recycles video and cassette tapes, so I think once I have seen them all, I shall send them to them rather than unnecessary landfill. I'll have to pay postage but am happy to do that.

    bargain - shoes for 50p! Hope he is better now ? :)


    I wanted to get some stuff on ebay this weekend but it just disappeared and last night I was just too tired.


    hope you have a good / productive money making week on the sales :)

    Thanks LAM, he's fine now :)

    Good luck for your listing.

    I've got about 25 items still to list out of a box so I'm going to try and get those on later.

    I will have a bit of a spend today as the new Stephen King book is out today :D So might try and hunt it down later.

    I'm quite enjoying this listing of payments, so I might try and do something similar each month. It helps me break down a bigger target. I'll list everything that I'd ideally like to pay in a month (so required payments and extras) and see how I get there.
