    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Today I got rid of 3 partially completed coffee cards from less frugal days, the shop kindly agreed to give me a free one anyway as I had enough stamps across the 3.
    Also have another item sold on ebay a pair of children's Levis that I bought 3 years ago, & my son wore till he grew out of them. Still raised £6 today. So a good result.

    Morning,
    Not posted for a little bit but I have been doing some de-cluttering.
    Dropped a few items off at the CS end of last month and had a sort through the magazines we have, recycled any no longer needed/out of date and have got them all nicely in a basket.
    Will take all the old batteries we have bagged up to the supermarket in the morning (thanks mrsm I had forgot that they take them there!!).
    Lots more to still do, going to try and pick an area each day and spend 10 mins in the hope of getting through most over the coming weeks. Both wardrobes need a really good sort out, most stuff I plan to rid is in good condition so may have a look at doing a womens refugee box as mentioned by POD and Fiasco55.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Today I cleared out a very old copy of lonely planet Britain. It had served me well. An old London A to Z, & some paperwork.

    I am moving house at the beginning of December :D, so have lots to do before then. Have some items to be listed on Ebay and Amazon this week. Also need to go through the pile of acquired/borrowed CDs and DVDs and see what can be returned to owners, put in charity shop bag or sold.

    Slow start to the month as I was finishing my assignment.

    Out so far:

    1. Blender to sister
    2. T-shirt to sister
    3. Small wooden box to sister

    Got rid of a pair of Levis that had been ripped beyond saving. And a couple of magazines. Free ones.
