    To be honest kitty you did the right thing as once opened cosmetics have a specific shelf life. If you use then after this it can cause skin iritation. Moisturiser is typically shelf life of about 12 months so it's lucky you didn't use them!
  • soooo I have now taken all my unsold eBay stuff down the charity shop(around 30 things), I cleared a box of my OH's !!!! (old beer glasses) he's been hoarding for 10 years under the stairs from when he ran a pub, sold what I can for reduced fee for the month on eBay (roll on April!), given away 31 fitness magazines to a heavily pregnant lady. I am guessing I have hit the 70 items gone mark now, all small things, but better out than in!

    My plan now is to wait out till I can ebay more come April. Then as we have a long weekend coming up if its dry work on the shed, if its wet clear under the stairs, if I am superwoman do both.

    Hope everyones doing good!!!

    Loving the planning kitty. I'm still working on clearing some more bits this month then I'm gonna keep doing it and I reckon by end of the year my house should start to look a bit clearer...in time for Christmas :rotfl:

    I have sold two more items so I am now at:

    26/31
    £65.50

    I was going to list some ebay stuff today, but realised I don't really want auctions ending on a bank holiday weekend. So I will probably just concentrate on taking some stuff to the charity shop now.

    3 things sold on Ebay today, £16 to add to my total. Have spent the weekend in the garden and 5 things taken to the tip this afternoon. Need to get a move on if I am to get to 31 by the end of the month.

    Haven't posted in a while. Work is hectic however looking back at my EBay account I have sold 7 more items sine then so 22/31. A day ahead. Have filled my quota of 20 listings again but not sure they will go.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

  • Got another offer from eBay this morning 75% final value fees and 100 free listings so although I haven't listed much this weekend (which is when I normally do it!) I am going to have to try and Do some this week to take advantage of that! Not sure what my tally is at the moment but definitely feel like the hose is looking clearer!
  • I got the same offer yet again! Oh eBay you little messers!!

    Well, I've donated two tops, chucked a chipped cup and sold an item on eBay. Chuffed I'm now on 30/31.

    Got some ebay stuff listed but no luck selling yet. Fingers crossed for late bids and gonna list more before end of march to take advantage of free listings ready for April challenge :)
