I have started finding gift cards. DH wanted a book today in waterstones. Paid with £10.00 pressie from neighbour. Off to see what else I can list whilst I sort out spare bedroom. 🤣

List, list, and list lots more 😂. I managed to declutter my whole house last year; and boy did I have some serious clutter! I managed to complete the make £2025 in 2025 challenge 6 times 😉. The most difficult part was finding the inspiration and often energy to actually list so much. The free Mr. Sains packaging runs, packing, and posting sold items I found very enjoyable and especially all the additional funds I put in my emergency pot - I sold my unwanted tat items and paid for a full roof repair / replace / restore etc last year. Best thing I ever did 😂🤣and I'd do it all again, if I had to 😉.

Good morning all xxx

I thought I'd post a link to the MSE 'New to the eBay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels board' - Start Here for some useful food for thought tips & tricks for both new and old hands who are about to or have already ventured into selling their unwanted items / decluttering their home. As always, additional posts of experience & wisdom along with questions and/or advice etc are always welcome 🤗 - Enjoy! 😉

Another possibility to make money for those who are interested i.e. £25 online shopping voucher(s) & FREE Royal Mail stamps is the MSE Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel Board - HERE.

Avenues of making money for this MSE challenge and others, is a win 😉.
