    Sold 3 items on Vinted which was very easy and straight forward. All are on the way now so we shall see if the transactions are completed without a hitch. 

    Then hopefully this can become a nice easy method for selling my gubbins and decluttering a bit. 🤞🏻

    Another item sold. It’s my most expensive one so far - exciting. I noticed a stain on it from grubby fingers so had to wash it though. So just waiting for it to dry and then I can parcel it up.

    Loads more to add but I’m just so tired.

    I've put 19 things up on Vinted now (most today) and have sold 5 things all told so far. Some of the bits are a cheeky punt if I'm honest...I wouldn't buy them. But you never know, I might just be a snob. 

    I've got a few more of the kids old coats I'm washing and drying as we speak so I can pop them on too. My mum bought the kids sooooo many clothes that I don't even know what to do with half of them and we've just kept everything (because we are both from hoarder families). However, I don't want to live in a house with rubbish in anymore. We need to live in the now and let those memories be. Share the resources with other people. However, if we could claw even a little bit of money back to help pay towards the high school uniform we are going to have to buy from scratch next year - that would be amazing.

    7 items now sold (including something I thought wouldn’t). 37% sold of things I’ve put up.

    I’m really pleased tbh. I can already see bits of space being created, which is making my heart sing. Goodbye clutter…I hope.
