    211. Two instruction leaflets in recycling bin.

    212. Empty handwash bottle and other stuff into recycling. I think I need to get a big bottle of handwash and decant.

    213. A bag full of rubber gloves and other stuff into bin. I think my DH used it for a DIY job.

    Hi There,

    I sell some - I used to get some quite specialist magazines ( no, not THAT kind of specialist you mucky - minded lot) Don't make much on them after postage & fees but they are quick to list & can be popped in a postbox so the effort / cash ratio is actually OK. Take up is very variable, I do OK on the craft ones. I'd suggest doing a completed items search on the titles you have and see what they are going for, if anything. Make sure to calculate what you'd be paying in fees

    ....

    Casati - thank you. I'll have a look.
    Tea lover : welcome :hello:

    I've sorted through 2 drawers in the study / craft room today as I was hoping to find some passport photos as DH and I both need to fill in some forms this weekend. Not only have found the photos :j , the drawers have also been decluttered :D

    11 dried up pens - binned
    Dried up craft paints (free with a magazine) - binned
    Craft paints (free with a magazine) - given to the local primary school.
    Old hotel brochure - RC
    Old cheque book stumps - shredded
    Some Old receipts from my handbag (still more to sort ) - shredded
    Used envelope - RC

    Wishing everyone a good evening

    Sorry, am just de-lurking to say, I originally bought nice containers/branded handwash, but refill with the cheapest bubble bath I can find. So much cheaper and great for using up odds and ends.
    We WILL stick to a budget for all of 2015 without loosing momentum. :j

    I took some of my decluttered things to my WI group last night and suprisingly made £6, less 10% for their funds.

    I just asked the two people to pay what they thought the items were worth. I got £5 for some scrapbooking items and £1 for 4 open ended knitting needles. :)
