  • Hello everyone, I hope it's not too late to join. I have so much stuff in my house that this is just the challenge I need! I am hoping to raise £500 selling things on Amazon, FB local sites and eBay. Could really use the extra money as my kittens will probably need to be spayed soon and I just can't afford it currently.

    Many thanks, Kate :)
    As of 5/4/16 :

    so yesterday I found and photographed 49 items so this evening I will be putting it all on ebay, cant believe how easily I found these things, there must be so much more stuff just lying round the house! Its mainly the kids clothes that they have grown out of so its not going to bring in huge amounts of cash, but its a good start. :)

    It is amazing how it all adds up. I sold nearly £1,000 worth last year and most items were under £5 and sometimes that was a bundle. The money was nice and getting rid of the clutter even better.

  • Another couple of FB sales:

    * it has lain, ignored by both cats for at least 6 months (they both do usually like beds but just didn't take to this one for some reason) ..... I've just caught wee cat trying to climb into it! Typical!! (I've now hidden it!)

    Now at £32 / £250
