    Hoping to sell my Easiyo kit tomorrow, as it's not worth using anymore now the kids aren't around filling their hollow legs with yogurt! That will be ten items all together - one maker and nine pots of different sizes. Fingers crossed!


    Still cracking on with the decluttering at m'chaps. We now see floor space in the spare room! 15 years' worth of computer and car magazines have gone (via my recycling bins as his area uses very thin bags). I'm very impressed and I think my bin men must be rather bemused and achy!

    504. Easter egg box and plastic
    505. Bits and bobs.

    Did a 3 hour boot fair today and cleared £40 after pitch and petrol. (Some of my decluttered bits have finally gone from my spare room. Other bits have gone to a charity shop or ended up in the bin).
    Let the decluttering begin again, get ready for another boot fair.

    214 - storage box repurposed as blanket box
    215 - more paper to recycling.

    Morning All,

    Some wonderful totals of stuff decluttered! We are lagging behind, but hoping to make an impact over the hols. (Eeeek! Work word sneaked in there, must remember it's the holidays!)

    216 - 222 - 7 X Items sold on Ebay! (Enough to buy new GHDs. Yay!)
    223 - DH boots to shoe bank. (I think he has binned more stuff, but need to interrogate him about what has gone!).

    My Ebay Dashboard says I have sold nearly £6000 of unwanted items over the years......

    Happy Easter! HE x
