    Another break now. Although I did read a sneaky chapter of a book earlier!

    Didn't do the wardrobe but have cleared out under our bed (and nearly killed my back lifting it to hoover under it!). I now have several boxes of stuff to go through and sort out. I haven't looked at most of it for many many years so I aim to be ruthless.

    I've pulled out a few nappies to sell. Whilst I love the patterns, I don't get on with the style, so I've decided they must go :(

    The video also appears to be working fine so that one will be getting listed shortly. I've tried to find another one that I had, but no luck so will have to leave that for another time.

    I've cleared a chest of drawers so will use that for little jwil's clothes now rather than having them stacked everywhere!

    Off for some lunch now.

    I've done a bit more tidying. Am now going to list a few things on ebay and then will have a sit down for an hour or so before going to take the dogs out and pick up little jwil.

    I didn't get my sit down and time out as DH came home and got in my way :D. I have now however, listed 70 items on ebay :T :T There were a lot of similar ones where I just needed to change the photo and title, so that's why I managed so many.

    Best go and get little jwil now.

    What a day you've put in, Jwil. :T
    I'm deeply embarrassed, I've done virtually nothing. :o

    Thigs are really going to have to improve - meanwhile, I will carrying on getting inspiration from you, it might kick me into action. :)

    Thanks Guys :D

    I've had a more relaxed day today. Mooching around while watching the Hunger Games. I sorted out a bag of stuff.

    I've caught up on surveys, and done 8 listings for DH. I'm now doing some for me. I've got 3 more to do and that will be 14 for me today.

    I'll then need to sort some more stuff out.

    I've sold 2 items today, so packed those. I've got a few more sales going out tonight and tomorrow so that's good.

    A couple of items I listed yesterday are selling now so I'm pleased with that.

    I phoned up my insurance co to cancel my house insurance renewal as it had gone up and I could get it much cheaper elsewhere. They've given me a nice discount on that, so I've stayed where I am for another year which saves me some hassle.

    Hey everyone, hope you are all well.

    We've been off car booting this morning. I managed to pick up 5 pairs of trousers for little jwil for £2.50! Really pleased as 3 of them are Next and one still has the tags on it!

    Since we've been home I've had a look through the boxes that I pulled out from under the bed the other day. I have 2 big boxes of paperwork to go, a box of electrical items for recycling, and a box of general bits and nick nacks to go. Also a bag of bits for the car boot. I've also now got 3 nice plastic food containers for the kitchen, as these were being used to store nick nacks.

    I sold quite a bit on ebay yesterday, and a couple of items have sold this morning as well. I've got another load going out later of which about 12 are selling so far, so I'm going to have a nice lot of packing to do. DH is also currently selling 10 items and just sold something on BIN as well. That will be loads out of the house :T :T

    Little jwil is napping so DH is sorting a few things out for ebay. We will be doing a tip run later on so all that stuff sorted will be gone today :T

    Off for some lunch and a sit down now :D

    Thanks Abba. I get most of little jwil's clothes from car boots, it's always named brands that I'd never pay full price for.
