I've stalled slightly as I've been very busy with the kids and spending money (hubby's birthday at the end of the month and as he's 30 I splurged a bit lol) and trying to keep the kids entertained, stimulated and happy. Oh well, back to the drawing board lol.
I have just put 6 items on ebay - will do another batch on Thursday I think for 10-dayers - so will have something (hopefully) to show for my efforts by next week. I've been putting stuff up in FB groups too but no takers yet. I have so much I need to shift. Not sure if it would be worth storing it til the spring then doing a car boot! :huh:Changing my Family's Future!! - Starting again!!!!

Well done to those boosting their totals on Ebay - still not got round to listing on there but hoping for a free listing weekend next weekend.
Love the idea of an adult "gap yah"! WHat a motivator for this challenge :T
Just adding £10 in amazon vouchers from SB's. Finding it quite hard going on there now. Will keep at it over the next few weeks to get another £5 and then may take a break from it.
Can't believe its Sunday night already.........own up.......who fast forwarded the flaming weekend????0 -
£8.99 after fees and postage on eBay. Also sold a lovely quality kilt for £132! I started it off at £24.99 in the hope of getting a good price for Burn's night, didn't think it would fetch that much though -- money is for my mum in law, not me x0
