Okay Hands up I have been bad in March, no excuse not even needed my finger slipped on the keyboard and with Apple Pay just one click and ‘oop’s bought’.
April is different 
I am not going to spend unless absolutely necessary, say if I run out of glue. Anyone going to join me?
I’m with you Caroline, April is a busy month for birthdays so not buying supplies is a great way to save. I have got until midnight tonight though 
.
Yep,
As March finishes I’ve noticed we have bought to much. So tighten the belt for April and probably miss listing this month as family pressures means things could get bad?
Plus travelling to sort out our daughters new house decoration as well.
Yes, I am on a ‘no buying’ roll. I tend to wait to buy supplies until necessary as I don’t like to have money tied up in things that are not earning 
Definitely need to join in with this Caroline 
I’m also going to try to get rid of all the things I know I’ll never use.
I sorted out a few boxes of things to go before Christmas but apart from an initial burst of enthusiasm I’ve not listed them to try to sell them. I want to give them all a month or so to try to sell them and if they don’t go then the charity shop it is.
There’s no way they will still be taking up space this Christmas!
I don’t know if it helps Lorraine @LilacDaisy but I sell a lot of cards and supplies on V..ted. They didn’t used to let you sell handmade items but now they do! I sell probably 10-15 cards a month there, they are older stock items.
Thanks Hilary, I’ll probably try that. We’ve been clearing quite a few old clothes and they’ve gone quite well on there.
I’ve tried a few F Book groups but unless things go straight away they tend to just get lost under all the newer posts.
I have sold quite a few items recently but ploughed far more back in since the end of last year, With thousands of pounds in fabric and threads alone I desperately need to sell some on…so yes a big yes from me…i can’t need another thing …not today anyway
Oh dear! Same here, I have quite a hoard of things that I will probably never use. I should have a good sort out too.
Good luck everyone, I have a large order coming today and tomorrow but bought on the 31st. Tried to be organised and stocked up on essentials in advance. Plenty of fabritac arriving. I am sure I do not need anything else. My DTP printables are free.
Fingers crossed we succeed.
When did that change please, I only joined about two months ago and it definitely wasn’t allowed then?
I’m not sure when it changed but they allow loads more than they used to. You have to add them as new with tags and you wouldn’t be allowed to sell loads as you can’t operate as a business unless you open a pro account, and you can’t offer personalised or bespoke items.
Thanks Hilary I may go and have a look at that. 
Hmm, I’ve put a bit of doubt in my mind. I’ve been looking it up and you can’t sell handmade through a pro account that’s definite. I’ve also found a page from V that says you can sell handmade cards under the home section then celebrations and holidays, cards and envelopes and then another page that says you can’t! I’m a tad confused 
I’ve made a good start, I haven’t bought anything today and I’ve sold 4 unused stamp sets from my stash. Yay! 
Great idea, but I’m going to struggle 
… It’s my other hobby
Love that you bought everything on 31st to stay good all month 
we think alike
New year on 6th April and I plan to make 2025 to 2026 my year for not ploughing it all back in… only been saying it for 11 years but this time I am determined and to clear raw stock
I am also going to do a destash, make up goodie bags of ephemera, mixed card packs, plus some fabric have been keeping but does not fit my style now.
That sounds like a good idea Caroline. I’ve just sold another 2 of my stamp sets so might try listing a few more things tomorrow. Surely we’ll make a dent in it if we keep at it
Got to do something Lorraine as too much stuff!
