Thanks Tattycath
I've been trying to get a few things done today. I've stripped all the beds and that is all out on the line, so I'm hoping it will be dry soon.
I reordered DH's ebay boxes which means I emptied 3 :T That's given us some more space now. I used 2 of those boxes to box up some of my stuff that needs to be sorted for ebay which makes that look a bit tidier as well.
I've sorted out a few items and prepped them for listing. Got those listings to get on later if I can.
We've sold 4 items between us today, so that's another 4 lots gone. Will update my sig in a bit. I've also thrown out some parts from a breast pump that wasn't working correctly. I did think about stripping it for parts, but don't think I'll bother.
I've sorted out some of little jwil's shoes and will list them later. One pair is almost brand new but he refuses to wear them as he says they are too small. They were professionally fitted as well :mad: It's too late to take them back as I was hoping it was just down to them being stiff from being new, and left it too long. So I'm just going to see if we can get some of the money back for them.
As quick as I am trying to photo them, he is saying 'they are MY shoes' and taking them back :rotfl:
One of DH's recent ebay sales is being returned. They say the scale is wrong. I've no idea, so just told them to send it back. He won't be impressed! I've recently had a return as well, though mine was from an idiot who can't read as everything he said was wrong was it, was clearly stated in the listing :mad:
I've redeemed £9 from a survey site so waiting for that to come through.
Finances are tight this month, so better get listing and fingers crossed for some sales!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Thanks Brizzle
In good news, I've sold quite a few items that I listed yesterday :T Made a small payment today, but need some cash too for other bills.
Had midwife appt today, and all seems good. No advice for my pain, just speak to the consultant who's appointment is 6 weeks away stillNot that I think much can be done anyway. My body also as normal refused to hand over any blood, so repeat visit next week required, as well as another visit to have some more bloods taken for a different test. Also flu and whooping cough jabs. I'm going to be a human pincushion next week!
No real plans for the weekend, just a continuation of the great declutter. Hoping that DH will make some progress.
Oh, I need to empty our spare freezer. It looks like it's been off since TuesdayEverything will have to be thrown. Luckily I removed all of the meat from there on Tuesday when I was getting something else out, so what's left is not valuable, just various bits of chopped veg and meals that I've frozen and never eaten again. I'm not worried about any of that, but it did also hold our icecream stash - so that I am devastated about
, especially as we only found out last night due to fancying an ice cream

Just thought I'd dig out my decluttering list. As you can see we've had a great week for ebay sales! A lot of that is for Dh so the money doesn't come my way, but it's still a lot of stuff gone.
Another 8 items sold yesterday :T That's a good proportion of the things I listed on Thursday gone.
Just trying to get on with stuff at home today. DH keeps offering to do stuff around the house, and I keep telling him that the only thing I want him to do is clear some stuff out. So he's currently sorting some things. This is also the last opportunity to get some sales before we go away so there will be a bit of a break before we go. I'm going to keep BINs on and have them for immediate payment. I'll end them right before we go so I know everything is posted but there's still a chance of clearing a few bits."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
