Wishing you a very happy retirement, mumps.:beer:_party_:bdaycake: (the only cake smiley is a birthday one but you know what I mean:rotfl:)

Sending my very best wishes to you and your family. Well done on getting the Carer's Allowance:T

I never turn dow cake, the candles are just a bonus. Just watching my bank account as the first payment of Carers Allowance should be going in any day. I had been told that I would/should get it but couldn't have it straight away as I was owed some pay for holidays. So until I could actually put in the application and get written confirmation I wasn't sure if it would happen. So now it is official.

ali-t- I have you on £693. Amazing!!!

If you look a few posts back, I posted our current thread total just last week

Thanks, apologies I must have missed that but will have a look back through the thread. Thanks for my total, this could be achievable!

Got some bids on my new items, just over £47 at the moment. I am running out of stuff to sell, the rest of the clutter is almost all DHs so I have to persuade him to part with some of it. He is more up for it now he has seen how the money can mount up but it is still difficult for a hoarder to actually do it. I think softly softly is the way forward so it may take a while.

Samiszel I've had a look through my figures and I think they are both wrong! I think the actual total is £360.69...not sure which sale haven't posted but that's the figure on my itemised spreadsheet so that's the one I'll use please. Thanks for doing this!

Samiszel scratch that, I've forgotten to add £5 that came in yesterday from selling a clothes airer, so it's actually £365.69

Another £2 in the pot for me please, breaking through the £300 mark at last!

Well done all-t, that is a fantastic sale. I think I am averageing about £7 per item.
You obviously have higher class clutter than I do.

Hey Mumps, its a sad reflection on being a shopaholic and having spent so much on tat and stuff I don't need or want over the years. Most of the stuff I have sold has been hanging around for a long time and was totally forgotten about. The coat that I got £125 for cost over £500 new but I didn't really like it so it was barely worn. Other things I have bought planning to slim into but didn't and others I ordered online and never got round to sending back. I don't know why I kid myself that something that doesn't suit me when I buy it will suddenly suit me a few months later when nothing has changed.


It has been quite a sobering experience selling stuff and I am a kon marie convert too so have been Kondoing in conjunction with this thread and it finally hit me what a consumer I am. My partner calls me the shopping pigeon as I constantly walk about the shops going oooh oooh at everything.


Bring on the challenge, DVD's are next to see if I can scrape some money back as I never watch a film more than once - so why the heck do I have piles of DVD's gathering dust?

Well good luck with it, you sound like my husband but he isn't quite convinced about getting rid of it. I live in hope.

Thanks as ever to Samiszel for keeping tabs on everything for us.:T.

That is a jaw-dropping collective amount, probably earned by mainly selling stuff that is just cluttering up our lives and homes.
Well done to everyone:beer:

Nothing to report for a while, I'm letting the side down big-time here:o. Had hoped to do a car boot sale today but the heavy rain hasn't let up since teatime yesterday and the field where it's held is prone to waterlogging, massive 'lakes' of standing water, even flooding:eek:. There never seem to be any on hard-standing round here, just fields.

Will try harder;)
