    Thank you so much Jenny Jukes. Mental note to self to get garlic bread and chips to stop me wasting money like this again. :beer::j

    Hello Pinky, yep we will be doing the same thing at half term I am sure. :xmastree:

    The Chinese was lovely but boy I am so cross at wasting so much money on it. I am planning on going to the supermarket for a good healthy shop tomorrow.

    OMG someone just bid £35 on the cross dresser. OMG someone actually wants it!!!! I will get a clear kitchen again.

    Yes hurrah it has raised £35 which will go to savings.

    I've been working all all day and am rather proud of myself.

    I have taken a gamble and borrowed £95 from my Christmas Fund & purchased a smaller dining table for upstairs. Im hoping my parents will collect it for me in two weeks and it should create some space upstairs. :beer:

    My plan is to sell my larger dining table when the next fleabay offer appears and then I can pay the borrowed money back. :o:rotfl:

    Hello Jenny hope you are having a good weekend. I am now ready to get rid of my large table but the fees will be high so I am praying for a seller offer. Please let there be one in the next month. I cant use facebay as I don't want anyone at work to know as they will make snide comments.

    This decluttering malarkey is quite fun.

    I know the feeling, I have some things that never sold on gumtree and I don't want to post on FB because colleagues will see the tat I have and I feel I will look desperate for money... Also because I find people heckle you a bit more there and gumtree is a bit more anonymous until you get to the person you are actually willing to sell to.

    I have computer equipment, curtains (and rails), a TV stand and straighteners I can't quite get rid of. I have resorted to covering the TV stand with the curtains and using it as a table.. :rotfl:

    That's called initiative Jenny. I didn't think of gumtree. I forgot. I could list the table on there without any fees. I might do that later this week.

    I just realised I have blown my no spend month as the newer table cost £95!!!!!! Yikes. :eek::eek:

    Nothing else, nothing else. I will be good. I will be good......:o:o:o:

    Have a good week all.

    Yeay on the cross-dresser sale!!

    I second Jenny's suggestion of gumtree - it's fab for buying second hand household stuff. We furnished virtually our entire house through a combination of gumtree and freecycle :D I have no experience of selling on it though...!
