  • Not had much time recently to de-clutter, but a trip to the recycling centre yesterday cleared away a few things I'd been piling up in the lounge ready to go - looks much tidier now!

    152. TV - recycling
    153. VCR - recycling
    154. TV stand - recycling
    155-156. Chargers x 2 - recycling
    157. Concertina file - recycling
    158-179. DVD cases x 22 - recycling
    180. DVD cabinet - recycling

    180 items a month will mean reaching the target of 2016 with a bit to spare, but I'll keep going this week to try and get further ahead.

    lots of eBay listing going on at the moment - so far 10 items will sell so that is progress. Charity shop / tip runs at the weekend will free space for the next bags to be started.
    Webuybooks people paid out nice and quickly so I would do that again if I can find any more books they will give proper money for.

    11 items sold for £150 and another still active at £30 so things are going well. The 11 items posted today so I am ready to trawl for the next set to list
