Trying to get some admin done today. Little miss is napping and little jwil is playing with his trains so I'm trying to catch up with financials, catch up with surveys and declutter some emails.

Glad alls good and well done on those free hours! Makes such a difference as you say...wait until they become teenagers and you have no childcare costs at all

Hope boot is going well. We survived Storm Katie pretty well...some rain but nothing terrible.

Thanks Tattycath. We only managed to do Good Friday in the end as the weather was too rubbish. I'm going to try and do one on Saturday if the weather is ok.

Very pleased that we've all got the free listing offer for April. 100 free listings each day :T

I've spend this morning relisting stuff and adjusting some prices in the hope of clearing some more things.

DH went through his listings yesterday and has identified some stuff to pull off so that will go to car boot instead. Hopefully we will be able to clear some more of his other stuff as well to get the stack down a bit.

I'm about to go through his ebay boxes to see if I can rejig them to reduce them a bit as we don't have room to add anything else and I don't want to discourage him :rotfl:

Other than that, I'm going to really go for it this month and see if I can get as much on as possible. It would be nice not to have to work so hard when the weather gets a bit better (assuming we get a summer this year!)

I'm hoping to sell at a car boot again tomorrow. Fingers crossed for good weather! I'm really dreaming of a clean house!

Oh, my best friend has just found out she's almost 6 months pregnant with a boy. Bye bye lots of little jwil's stuff

Hi Jwil

You are doing so well with your decluttering.

I am going to do some ebaying this afternoon. I have met my decluttering 100 items a month from Jan - March. It's getting harder now so April will be a challenge.

Though we do want to hire a van to sort out the shed and garage - I'm reckoning on at least 2000 items in these two places alone!

Good luck with the car boot sale - I have helped me mum on some in the past but never done one myself. I hope you make a nice bit of money and the weather is dry to tempt those buyers out to spend some cash!

Those totals are going down nicely too - well done you!
