    Hello everyone.
    Sorry I haven't posted for a while but life and work seemed to get in the way.
    Good news on the selling front though.
    In Sept sales on E-b*y were £346.48.
    October £128.76.
    So total for this year is £1517.11.
    Great figures but proves how much stuff I've bought in the past and didn't really want!
    Hope you all have a profitable October.
    ilovetea xx

    Wow I have not been on here for ages.

    I am so late starting but will be posting stuff today to sell on various sites.

    I need to get selling to meet a target by the end of October and it is more than £1,000.

    I am going to give it a go.

    Thanks Apple Muncher,

    I am locking myself away over the weekend to concentrate on listings.

    I don't think I'll make my target either, but I'll be much closer than if I hadn't been on this thread!!

    Quick update from me - have had some Ziffit monies confirmed from some parcels I sent them at the end of last month - bringing me as at today up to £950.34 and the children's total to £405.59. I have a couple of things on ebay which will hopefully raise a few more £ and have a heap of stuff ready for a nearly new sale next weekend - am hoping that takes the children's total to pretty much £500, as other things which I'd earmarked for selling for them (belonged to one of the teenagers) have now been (re)claimed by the smallest two, so won't be leaving the house in the near future! :)


    Am pretty hopeful I'll scrape the target between the combined figures. Have donated loads of stuff to charity and freecycled some stuff too, just to get it gone - the space is more appealing than the money for some of it! :/

    Another £45 from ebay sales. Got a few more things to list but not sure I am going to make the £1,000 but every little helps as they say. Nice to get rid of some more stuff as well, the house is getting tidier.
