    Well first two weeks in sold 2 items chest of drawers £70 and dress £10.00 .I started with a £300.00 as I easily go through £150.00 a week going to get organised for a boot sale next week .Doing really well moneywise I am trying just not to spend it I have plenty food in the cupboard and I have been literally just topping it up with the perishables .
    I am down on shopping considerably thats been the biggest saving so i'm still afloat but need to start selling lots .

    Have you sold these items via Gumtr** or *Bay or Face****?
    It looks as if you are doing very well, well done :T

    I love a clutter-free home. It's less clutter in your head and saves so much time on cleaning and tidying! :D

    Keep up the good work! :A

    Thanks elly68

    I use gumtree too but last few items nothing happened. I'm going to photograph and post tomorrow. I don't think clothes do so well on there. I sold a bread maker for £50 a few months back. I'm going to up my game inspired by you

    Have a good evening

    Well fun my livingroom has remained tidy for 1 full week unbelievable do you think i threatened them all a little bit to much I still have 1 suit as an ornament on 1 chair which is an improvement on 1 on each chair .I'm very pleased with the result .
    Made a bit of a botch with the money this week after shopping I was down to £70.00 and lost my resolve and ordered chinese and then followed it up with going to pub think my vodka whick we have lots in the house as i rarely drink at home topped up with the kids flavoured cranberry and rasperry fizzy water went straight to my head lol.
    We had a very good relaxed night n the pub but purse was down to £14 this morning oops .Time to focus seached wanted ads on gumtree and someone is looking for vintage dressing table so hey mines is now listed husband also decorates this with items so it doesnt serve its purpose any more as we now have a very large ikea double wardrobe in bedroom hence last weeks sale of chest of drawers have someone replied already I've listed it at £100 lets see what it makes .Hope anyone who joined the challenge is doing well lets all know your results x
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x
