Day One - 11 August 2008

I just read Julie Falatko's blog;  http://worldofjulie.com/365things.htm and feel incredibly inspired to follow in her footsteps.

I need to declutter our home and our lives.

I just sold some clothes on ebay yesterday so these will be my first items, once I have been to the post office and sent them off I will list them here and add the cash amount I've made!
