    Just coming over having updated the February Challenge page and am keen to keep going!

    Will be getting rid of items by various means, namely ebay, music magpie, secondhand shop and charity. Hadn't thought about the facebook selling pages, but people do rave about them, so might give them a go!

    No monetary value aim this month - just to de-clutter!!

    Good luck everyone!!

    My goal is to get rid of something each day. Ideally for money, but if not that is okay as I need to declutter.

    Well done craftingmad!

    I have listed a load on ebay today as I'm relieved to see they've sent an offer of up to 100 free listings in March. Woohoo more to add tomorrow and have some bits to take to charity this week which will be a decluttering start
  • Off to a positive start today - one of my items sold on eBay which I relisted as it didn't sell last week (always worth a go!) and two of my other items received bids today. Any money I make will be put towards financing my move... deposit, first months rent, movers etc.

    Donated a massive sack full of things to charity as well which I am delighted about. Still doesn't seem to have made a visible dent in the amount of things in the flat, but every little helps!

    1/31 - I am decluttering my DVDs this week as I need shelf space. Today I made a grand total of £1.05 (ha ha) for two DVDs which will go in my musicmagpie box to be sent at the end of the week.
  • Nice work guys!! I have relisted 9 things that didn't sell last month and planning a charity shop run on Saturday and a garden clear out Sunday. Might have a little rummage in the wardrobe too see if there's anything worth going.
