Well I haven’t sorted anything yet but really need to get on with it! I will commit to finding one thing for next couple of days, hopefully once started it will motivate me, I’m told Vinted is a good one , anyone had any experience on this site? Otherwise think I’ll try Facebook sales see how that goesPay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2021 no 50 Target for this year £12,000

Great idea, I wish you and all followers every success.
Not sure I'll be joining you as such though because we are in a VERY rural area and I've had so much trouble with Facebook selling in the past. People just don't bother turning up and if I've been able to get any response eventually they seem to complain that they've driven round for ages and couldn't find us! I give them really detailed directions, they know what they're in for and even if they don't have SatNav my directions should have been adequate. It's the same with Freecycle, People have arranged to come and collect all sorts of lovely stuff (for free!) and then don't bother to show. I rely on eBay for selling now, although I don't like it very much, so it often takes a while to get stuff sold and the money to come in. I love doing car boot sales but none of my 'local' ones (even then about 15 miles away for the nearest) haven't started up again after the Covid lockdowns. I've got so much decluttered stuff to get rid of somewhere even if I don't make any money out of it. A lot of the charity shops are restricting what/how much they'll accept at the moment.
Good luck! Keep posting to let us know how you're getting on.
