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

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!
