So many encouraging comments about my £20,000 in 20 months post. Thank you all
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
WFH today and an easy going day too.
I’ve been thinking about raising money by selling my bike. AGAIN.I have posted about this and done nothing 3 times now.
I am scared of eBay and Paypal too, but my lovely bike is too heavy. I have it in the living room and it is taking up valuable space!
I need to sell stuff on gumtr33 too.
I am doing well on repaying debt, but I so need to get my act together on the decluttering and selling front.
There are so many inspirational people getting rid of clutter and earning a few pennies at the same time. I want to join them
I hope you all had a good day tooIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Probably by March you will be debt free that is so good. With another £1000 a month you will feel like a millionaire!
Are you on Facebook , do you have any local selling sites on there. I have sold lots of stuff that way .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
For me I am just decluttering.
Just getting rid of things now is my current priority.

Selling my bike would be great. Like you I am shifting my priority to decluttering. I have too much stuff and keeping house would be easier with less on the floor!
Agree 100%.

What's scaring you about the selling sites DIA?
You can always state that collection has to be somewhere else if you don't want someone coming to the house.

Rosa is right but without sharing all of my neuroses on a public forum, I don't like my financial details being linked to any online accounts and I especially dislike the idea of paypal...
I'll get over myself and probably do gumtr33 again...:)
On another matter, I am switching exercising to mornings to see if that is any easier. Exercise is so rewarding after it is done but so hard to actually do. I will keep trying to find a routine!If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

DiA have answered on my thread , but it's best to do what works for you . I always went in the morning but now I do 4 day compressed hours it's not feasible .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
