    So far on target 11/31 however not sure anything will go today though I have just added another item. Depends if anyone is bored enough to look at eBay I suppose. Do have one item ending tomorrow with a bid on it.
    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!

    An item sold amd paid for on ebay so that's 11/31 and someone about to collect a freegle item meaning total is 12/31. Got some more ebay stuff finishing over next few days so fingers crossed bids come in!

    I sold another item yesterday and of those items ending today I have three with bids on. Have added 4 more items today and have switched one lot from eBay to Facebook.

    Anyone know of the best place to get rid of PC parts for cash?

    Sorry Valm not a clue. Ebay or facebook I guess or possibly local independent computer shop?

    I've had a quick sort through of wardrobe and put 10 items in donations box so I'm now on 22/31
    Feels great to be clearing stuff out and this is only from my initial surface clearing. As I keep at it there's loads more I'll be able to declutter :) just now I ran out of hangers in wardrobe and had two tops to hang which I really like. I immediately thought of Marie kondo who asks 'does this bring me joy?' And I got rid of two tops that didn't really fit that category. That mindset could help some of you with the decluttering

    Sorry me again! Have sorted out a bedding set to donate as doesn't fit in my new linen cupboard so I'm getting rid of one I'm not fussed in and have sorted five baby items for a friend and a bundle to sell (will count bundle and bits for friend as one declutter item each) so total now 25/31
  • The magazine company didnt bother replying so I posted on a local facebook group and a lady is coming tomorrow to collect all 31!

    Sold 4 items on ebay too, and will relist the nonsellers tonight whilst I still have the 100 free listings offer.

    2 things squeaked into the recycling bin too.... so thats 37 things! By next weekend I will probably be taking a big bag down to the charity shop.
