All my eBay auctions sold, money is trickling in and parcels trickling out. The Indian jewellery has been bought by the person I bought it from last year, which amuses me. She will probably be able to sell it for much more than me as she puts lots of effort into marketing her items and I just want to get rid of them.
Almost everything listed on u.a.giveaway went. What remains will probably get recycled or binned. I am considering writing a "how not to piss off the giver" post for u.a.giveaway, with useful tips like "say which item you are interested in", "follow instructions given in the advert", "try writing grammatically and spelling correctly".
The geeky tshirts on u.a.forsale went in a cunning deal where I swapped them for taxi services from![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
crazyscot. This allowed me to acquire some useful boxes from Staples and many folders from freecycle. This means I can complete the filing cabinet decommissioning, so the net result should be less stuff in the house, even if right now there's a big pile of folders in the living room.
The handbag and smutty tshirts on u.a.forsale seem to have no interest, I will try eBaying them for 99p each and see what happens. The upper box is nearly empty. Tomorrow I should be able to investigate the one below it, which I vaguely remember having stuff I brought away from Mum's house, but it's been lurking there too long for me to know exactly.
I have listed the free Argos mattress and 3 pairs of shoes on freecycle. I still have 9 pairs of shoes which seems a lot when I count it up, but I have looked at each pair and decided I like them enough to keep.
I got a free large suede travel bag with a recent order from La Redoute. It's pretty good quality and I think I will use it to pack away clothes Mum lent me when she moved, which I'm not actually wearing, to make room in the wardrobe, and be easy to carry when we next visit her.
There are lots of little piles of things in bags around the study, which I can delve into as an alternative to box diving or when waiting for eBay/ucam.adverts.*/freecyle. It'll be easier to do the shelving reorganisation if I can get rid of them first. The whole project still feels quite overwhelming but I'm mostly enjoying the individual steps at the moment.
