    Talk about making a turn around. Cor blimey!
    All sounding very positive! Fantastic work. Maybe even a normal front room in time for the tree! No hiding it behind the sofa. Glad to hear hubby has got a fire up his bum. Makes the difference when they're helping and he really is. You're great attitude rubbing off on him too. Xxxx

    Thank you :) It makes such a difference having a room relatively clear :j Obviously there is the space and also I won't be hugely embarrassed if people turn up too.

    Another few items sold for DH too. I've turned off his international postage and will start our ebay break from this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it!

    I haven't listed anything new for a couple of weeks, just relists. DH has so much on, it's been nice seeing it going down without adding to it. The listings all end by Monday so it will start then, but I don't think we will sell a lot. A couple sold yesterday.

    I'll relist again so they end on Christmas day, it's always been a great day for sales :D

    I'm about halfway there with buying, haven't done any wrapping yet, so not that organised! How about you?

    I can't wait for the break. I bought a huge amount of boxes and bubble wrap home from work though, so not sure I've gained any space :rotfl: The front room is still clear though :heart2:

    It's mad isn't it. I heard Rightmove get more checks on boxing day than any other day. So I'm not surprised your sales go well on Christmas day.

    FRONT ROOM IS STILL CLEAR!!! Go you!
    My front room has turned into a bomb site. Tools and toys everywhere. Plus youngest is ill and I can't keep up with the washing.

    Keep up the great work xxx

    Thank you. I heard it somewhere so tried it one year and was amazed how much we sold!

    Hope you manage to clear your front room, and hope youngest is better soon x
