    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.

    :j :T :j
    Wowsers! That's fantastic going jwil. Huge well done to you there. :T :j :T :j

  • hi jwil - i didn't realise you had a 1000 item decluttering target as well - i feel a bit behind with my paltry 2 things now :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - as you know though i have got rid of things for many years but this year in particular loads of things have gone so it should be a tough challenge but i am in a couldn't care less mood and not sure if thats a good or bad thing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    hope all is well with you jwil x good luck for more sales :)

    Hey everyone :)

    Everything is crazy busy at the moment, so not keeping on top of things. I've had lots of appointments this week so not a lot of time.

    Must do better :o

    Hope everyone is well :)

    I can relate to this, mine is more of a 'must get on top of paperwork' kind of busy.
    I must to better too as I do have some deadlines to meet. :o

    Hi Brizzle. Yes, I need to do a good few hours this week/weekend. It's a great idea to support each other. :)
    I'm the same as you, if I don't do something I'll end up doing nothing. :o
