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

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??

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
Out today
Binned
2 x old bottles of chocolate sauce
bag of stale nuts
broken umbrella
RC
shoe box
old bus time-tables

CS
4 pairs shoes - 2 pairs in boxes

scented candle thingy set
3 x packs new hand cream
4 x cushions and 4 x covers

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.0 -
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
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 recycling0 -
199. Brand new pack of crochet hooks - CS.
201- 200. Old lighters - binned.
Woohoo! I made it to 200Decluttering 2015: 2162/20150
