    Well done jwil..looking at MM I was wondering the same thing..think I will try Am8zon first.. £19 for 12 DVDs and an old phone and an ipod touch seemed pretty carp - albeit the touch has a cracked screen.

    Have listed 6 items today so thats a relief.

    Just need a nice rush of PC surveys now!!

    Have a good weekend - hope little Miss Jwil is kind to you sleep wise this eve

    Thanks Brizzle. Well done on the listings, hope you get some good sales.

    I agree about a rush of pc surveys would be nice!

    PS. Hate to say this.. but a week to do potty training :eek:..that might be a tad ambitious..seem to recall it took a lot longer than that..sorry to break it to you! :o

    I wasn't expecting him to be dry, but to take a few days at home to get him used to using the potty and wearing underwear.

    Unfortunately he refused point blank, so have left it again, and will try again in a few weeks.

    Just bumping my decluttering and payment posts. I've had a few sales so will be able to make a payment later once I've posted them and update my decluttering totals as well.

    I've had a busy few days. Trying to get as much as possible done when little miss naps (ie now!) but she's been a bit clingy whilst awake, so I've been taking advantage of sitting on the sofa and watching some dvds so I can clear them.

    The DVDs I've already listed have been more popular than expected. I've sold quite a few. I thought the dvd market was vastly reduced. One I've sold today, I've listed at the wrong price, so am a bit disappointed, but that's my fault and I can get it on prime so it's not an issue. I enjoyed it, and wouldn't have minded keeping it, so should have listed it for more.

    I've been making some efforts to declutter elsewhere as well, but not much really achieved. I have been prepping listings for ebay, so today's plan is to try and get everything prepped on. I'm also trying to keep up with surveys as well, and have received a £10 amazon voucher this week, and also have another 2 lots of £10 ready to redeem as well.

    I had to order a load of packaging this week, so have used sale money for that. But hopefully won't need much for a while now. We've had a good number of sales again this week, so lots has left again.

    I also bought little jwil a gro clock as he's been a bit unsettled at night, and wants to get up very early. I hoped that he might like the nightlight, and also that it would stop him wanting to get up when OH does. It worked in the main last night, in that he waited for the 'sun' to come up before he shouted me, but I still had to go in a couple of times as I think he's having nightmares poor thing.

    Must get on, as little miss looks like she's about to wake up!

    I've been listing my little heart out every time little miss lets me have a few minutes. I'm trying to take advantage of the unlimited free listings to get all my dvds and games on. I'm putting them on BIN for 30 days so once that runs out, I'll decide whether to relist or whether to send them to car boot. Hopefully I'll have cleared a load as well. They are nice and quick to list as they only need a barcode so that's good as well.

    Going to try and update the declutter list as I'm losing where I'm getting to.
