Well done Night Owl. It's bad enough cleaning kitchen cupboards in a kitchen that is solely used by one person; a shared kitchen must be doubly difficult to motivate yourself to tackle.

Decluttering buddies, I mentioned some time back that my house is just a huge clutter store. It'll be a long term project to complete the declutter process but it is a mission.
Other than ebay/gumtree any ideas on the best way to get rid of the stuff that I no longer need/want and any tips for selling on ebay and the likes. I have a terrible habit of forgetting to return stuff that I don't actually like once I get it so have a collection of unworn stuff.

I've not sold on FB, but people I know seem to do well on their local FB sale pages

Most ways of selling unwanted stuff rather than giving it away require a bit of effort and organisation. If you do use eBay, remember to include an earnest assurance that your house is spotless
I have a few clothes that I could do with trying to sell because I bought them on eBay and they turned out not to be what I expected (I should stick to what I know) but measuring them and taking photos seems like too much bother. I might see if anyone on Fetch has a vacancy for a long orange pencil skirt or a cappuccino coloured silk frippery.

You could try a car boot IT, you wouldn't get as good prices for things as you would if doing eBay but it would get rid of a load in a oner.
I've only just started selling on eBay this past month, putting 2 items on per week and it's maybe 5 minutes of faff per item writing the ad etc, but worth it to get a decent price. I've got over £40 with just the 4 things I've already sold. (EBay still to take their fee though). I bought a pack of the postage bags for under a fiver from Amazon, and I put the item in it as soon as I've listed it ready for posting.

I've done quite well selling odds and ends on eBay a few times, but I've also had a fraudster (fortunately, he only defrauded me out two or three quid, and left me nice feedback when I gave him a refund) and a couple of blatant time-wasters.
It is tedious, though, when the day of reckoning comes and all those parcels have to be wrapped and address labels made.

Do you have Streetlife locally? I signed up to this about a year ago and there seems to be a thriving 'trade' - sometimes stuff is offered free to the collector, or at an 'O.N.O. price - in all sorts of household items. The bonus is that people are local so can usually pick up the items themselves rather than you having to get into postage and packing!
