    Afternoon all, I'm sickly poorly today so off work. I'm taking consolation that it means I'm using up food from cupboard and not spending any money for the day (take the good bits where you can!)

    So my 5 items on eBay were all posted out on Wednesday and I've been decluttering loads so....

    1&2: petticoats on eBay
    3,4,5: Vintage retro dresses on EBay
    6,7,8,9: DVDs sold via fb
    10: 1 book to SJ
    11: all outdated paperwork (1 carrier bag full!)
    12: book- ebay and minimum bid reached
    13: soft toy (Simons cat toy) on eBay and has a bid so is going
    14: skull shoes reached minimum bid on eBay!
    15: old travel mug into the bin (as its been used solidly for 8 years and I got a new one for Christmas!)

    I also have 7 cookbooks & 6 good food mags going to a friends shop- she will sell them for pennies of any interest in 4 weeks, if not will go to the boot sale.

    I have a box of DVDs, a box of CDs, and a box of books all ready for the car boot too!

    �� good first two weeks for me!
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!

    55 - video game sold on Ebay - posted


    Probably not much decluttering action this weekend as I'm going to be visiting DD in London. Might try and persuade m'chap to ditch a few bits before we set off tomorrow :-) Quite a few watchers and one bid on his shirts on Ebay, so fingers crossed.
