March Challenge: Sell, Scrap or Donate 31 Things in 31 Days

3 items listed on ebay and one has sold already for £9.50. I'm ridiculously happy about this small sale even though the price includes postage.
I also gave a set of tea, coffee and sugar caddies to a friend so that can count as another item.
I found the caddies when I got a box of kitchen stuff out of the loft and so they have been sat on the kitchen side since then and it feels good to be on the road to a clutter-free house (a VERY long road though I fear!)

I'm happy as I've finally got rid of a massive bag if coat hangers that had been sitting around for months. I almost put it off but then realised I've kept doing that and just needed rid. Feel great that they've gone will class that as 1 item so I'm:

1/31

I am sure coat hangers breed!

On the 3rd and 4th I did not make any money, but I saved some money by dismantling an old mattress. It was too old to donate to anyone so it would have cost a lot to get someone to pick it up and it was taking up so much room in my flat. I managed to get it small enough so I could get a friend to take it to the tip for me.

I'll donate a bag of sprouts that are in the freezer.
I hate them.

Just contacted https://www.crazyaboutmagazines.com to see if they are interested in buying a stack of womans fitness magazines I really hate; I did the subscribe for a £1 thing years ago, realised the stupid articles annoyed me (beautiful woman laughing eating salad / 10 minutes of yoga a day to a skinny you!) and didn't bother reading them, and somehow I got a years worth. I have some History ones too that I might need to prise out of my dead cold hands but they are gathering dust gggrrrrrr stop hoarding..... grrrrrrr

Went through my overflowing bookshelf, scanned everything through ziffit and webuybooks (both have apps). I scanned around 20 books, ziffit wanted 2 and webuy books wanted 5, but the total was under the £5 minimum so I have put those to one side till I have read a few more to add to their list.

The 15 others are bagged up for the charity shop for next week :-)

Feels great looking at a bookshelf of stuff where all thats left is stuff I truly want to read. I can see the paper forest and the trees

Woohooo I've woken up to an email from eBay "No insertion fees and 35% off Final Value Fees for a limited time only" - till the 14th March. Phew it's been ages!!

Think I'm going to do the unthinkable and list those books and attack the house! I think I'll spread out start / finish dates too because otherwise I get confused when it comes to posting them.

I got that email too and listed four items today. I am hoping to get at least £25 for those items. I am now working on filling up my webuybooks box so I can take advantage of the 10% code and Amazon vouchers prize draw they are currently running.

I also got those emails...very relieved as have a load of stuff to sell but was no way paying 35p a listing plus fees. Bring on the ebaying!!!
