    Well done on the sales. I'm trying to get organised for Christmas too.

    The months are definitely slipping by so quickly. I have been busy with my decluttering and have sold a few items, also taken a couple of bags to the charity shop in the past few weeks. There are two more bags in the boot of my car ready to drop off when I am next passing. Still have a long way to go to get to where I want to house to look like. I have now started on old diaries, have a few to go through, take out any useful information, then shred.

    Been very productive this morning and cleaned the car inside and out, saved a few pounds by not taking to the car wash. Two potted garden plants have also left today, they were picked up while I was washing the car. The plants were not liking the pots and needed to be in the ground, person who picked them up was very happy with them.

    This afternoon I am going to move some of my eBay stock into the summer house, summer house has now become stockroom/office, should make life easier have everything in one place, not spread all over the house. Have a few photos to take as well, ready for listing tomorrow.

    Well done on the decluttering and sales. It's much easier having everything in one place.
