I can't believe all that you're achieving. No suggestions on the money making side but if you have unopened smellies that you're unlikely to use, homeless shelters and women's aid are crying out for them

You've done an amazing amount! 3 bags of paperwork decluttered? That on its own is a great piece of work to do of an evening - I think you might be setting your standards a bit high, you know? :kisses3:

And, um, you have **hats**, plural?

Don't answer! I know you're time poor, I'm just goggling :rotfl:

Excellent decluttering work there, I'm really inspired and might actually do some myself today! :j :j

Love it that you two are going to talk writing together Lovely to have some personal support

Also exciting to have lots of body lotion to use up! I'm on a use-up mission here too, although somehow the darn stuff keeps finding its way in too :rotfl: Mind you, my skin has never been so soft as since I started using plenty of body lotion every day!

I've always found smellies and make up sell very well, especially the bigger brands and even if it's slightly used. I got over £10 for a magazine sample a few months ago! I was very clear as to what it was, and the buyer left me glowing feedback. I couldn't believe it.

I know you were going to use them up but if you need the cash for the car and you are not using them at the moment...

It had never occurred to me to sell cosmetics that I don't want - I get crazy brands from my sister in law, that I don't even know how to use ... this is a good idea

Agree. it's been one of my best sellers.

Best of luck with it all. You will do it, you have done it before and will get there again
