    128 - Vine eyes (gardening) – eBay
    129 - 2 pairs of secateurs – eBay

    147 - 2 old Sky boxes – electrical recycling
    148 - Bag of coat hangers – tip
    149 - Old tools – tip


    I've been having a good sort through my wardrobe, and have found things that I'll never wear again, but are still nice - so I've listed them on eBay. Hopefully, I'll be able to include them in my decluttered list next time. I still need to look at my shoes, as I'm sure there are some that can go, but I feel like a change, so my next target is the kitchen. We have lots of mugs and glassware unused for many years, so I'm sure I'll be able to find some things to declutter

    Haven't actually declutter too many items today,but did a few jobs that made the house look a bit tidier.Have spent about 2 hours tonight trying to work out how to upload photos to Facebook selling pages :eek:.


    So,I finally got that bit worked out,but is anyone able to give me a step-by-step guide to posting those photos (of items I want to sell) onto several FB selling sites.At the moment I have uploaded about 7 photos onto my home page.THEN,seperate to that,I uploaded the photos onto one FB selling site.By the time I had done that it was after midnight :eek:.Can anyone give me an idiot's guide (I really won't be offended) to advertising my items on different sites.I took photos on my Samsung phone,and,using a cable,downloaded them onto my laptop,then uploaded(?) them to FB(my homepage and one selling site.).But what if I want to sell these on about 10 different sites at once??
    Thank you x

    Hiya fellow de-clutterers


    Today I cleared and cleaned out the hall cupboard totally :j


    Actually there wasn't much to put out but, because I cleared some stuff from the top of the wardrobe and rehoused the summer quilt up there, I was able to reorganise this cupboard. Now the spare guest quilt and golf-bag buggy are now housed in there so more room in our bedroom :T


    I also cleared out the bottom of my wardrobe and all the shoes and boots.


    DH seems to have caught the bug a bit as he sat and cleared out two of his drawers in the sitting room and produced a bag of rubbish and a bag of recycling :D


    Out today

    Binned
    2 x old bottles of chocolate sauce
    bag of stale nuts
    broken umbrella


    RC
    shoe box
    old bus time-tables
    wine bottle
    plastic water bottles


    CS
    4 pairs shoes - 2 pairs in boxes
    briefcase
    handbag
    scented candle thingy set
    3 x packs new hand cream
    4 x cushions and 4 x covers
    pillowcase
    jumper
    fleece coat
    kitchen mat


    Think I've had enough for today as still have washing-up to do and I'm working tomorrow :D


    Hope you all have a well-sped Wednesday

    15 - 17 - Old calendars into recycling
    18 - More school work into recycling
    19 - Soft toy nicked by the dog (she's pulled the nose off, so have left it in her basket for further chewing activities!)

    In

    Computer desk for spare room
    Two cushions and three cushion covers from Mum

    Not too much decluttering going on, it's more sorting and rearranging at the moment! Have sorted through four large plastic storage boxes and managed to condense into three boxes. However, I have filled the other box with my Ebay selling pile. There are also a couple of pieces of furniture I want to sell, will try a local FB group first.

    Another charity bag started, not counting until it leaves the house.

    Next door have been doing some building work all day so my main priority has been to try and find a room which was a little less noisy, so lots of pottering from room to room. Sadly with little success :o Sadly I'm not well enough to go out for a walk at the moment so I've just got to grin and bare it. Hopefully it'll just be this week. Fingers crossed.

    So today I've recycled lots of paper and shredded the paper that needed shredding.
    Rehomed several books from my bedside table to the bookcase.
    Binned 2x audio tapes - I have no way to play them.
    1x cd - not wanted. Binned
    A dead battery - put aside for special recycling
