Thank you for starting this thread. My first listing on fleabay sold for £20 and i have just listed 4 more items and 3 have bids on within 5 minutes of listing!
I would have never got round to it without the kick up the bum from this thread...it's getting exciting now. I'm going to pinch the idea of someone on here(sorry can't remember who), I'll try 2 listings at a week each and if it doesn't sell it will go to the charity shop.£1000 Emergency fund challenge #225 - £1000.00.00/£1000- End of Baby Step 3 (A work in progress)0 -
Have decluttered the cooking book cupboard - found a Peggy Porschen book- cakes in bloom - I have always wanted to be able to make flowers as beautiful as these but not mastered it and get frustrated when I have nothing to show for several hours work. It was a pricey book at £25 and is immaculate- they seem to hold their price and sell well on eBay so about to list it.
Found a couple of biscuit decorating kits I cannot decide what to do with...

Well I found a couple more bits for the bin and an item for eBay. Been quite hectic today - had hoped to get more done. Keep reminding myself that little and often is the way to go and that everyday is progress on my massive decluttering mission.

I've spent the last couple of days trying to get the laptop to connect to the internet. Finally succeeded (I don't know how).
So today. Did a bit of tidying and threw out a few things but, to be honest, I'm kind off trying to prepare for my holiday so not doing quite as much as I could.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
