Love this idea, we barely have any spare income at the moment until we are out of all of our contracts so selling our clutter is our only option, love seeing your balance going down - will be watching

It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you...

I always think I don't have anything, so I end up just selling old dresses/shoes/jackets that I haven't worn in a while.
Even if you only get £5, it's an extra fiver that you didn't have before and it feels so satisfying!0 -

eBay can be a bit time consuming, if your on facebook its a lot easier, there will be lots of local buy and sell sites, post your items up with the price and people come to you to pick them up! My mum made just over £1000 for around 7 months of facebooking stuff. They have local bidding sites at home so even that part used body butter will go for £1Thanks to money saving tips and debt repayments/becoming debt free I have been able to work and travel for the last 4 years visiting 12 countries and working within 3 of them. Currently living and working in Canada :beer: :dance:0 -
