Of course, selling and posting 102 items is no easy feat, and she shared how she has developed an efficient system.
She explained: 'Firstly, I separated the labels into items that were clothing and items that weren't.
'Whenever I pack up something, I always make sure I double bag it.
'I put the item in a bag first along with a thank you card and the little treats.
'Then, I put them in these packing bags, which just makes them more secure.

'The great thing about them is that they are self-sealing, so I don't need to use any tape. 'Once I've done that, I simply put on the label and it's good to go.'
She then separates out her clothing items into Inpost, Royal Mail, and Evri to make them easier to post.
Caroline added: 'I had fun at the Inpost locker where I met a lovely lady with an American accent who follows me.
'Then I headed off to Evri and Royal Mail.
'After that, I dashed back home and set about packing up the rest of the orders.
'These were the big, bulky ones that needed boxes.

'This took me hours to do, and then it was time for the final drop off.'
She was hugely relieved when all the parcels were sent, and added: 'I can't believe I've done it, to be honest.
'Thank you so much to everybody who bought things from me, and I really hope that you like your items when you receive them.'
Many people were impressed, with one saying: 'I can't even sell 1 in a month.'
Another added: 'I need to do this I have about 15 bags of old clothes.'

The secret way you can get £5 vouchers from H&M AND clean out your wardrobe – and you can do it six times a month too
And it doesn't necessarily have to be H&M clothing either SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP The secret way you can get £5 vouchers from H&M AND clean out your wardrobe – and you can do it six times a month too DO you have a mega pile of clothes you no longer wear? Chances are you've come across Vinted - one of the biggest apps where thrifty fashionistas sell their pre-loved garments. Advertisement 4 Can't seem to sell any of your items on Vinted? There's another easy way to get your hands on £5 vouchers thanks to the H&M Garment Collecting & Recycling scheme Credit: TIKTOK/@holgracewills 4 According to fellow cash-savvy fashionistas, H&M is not the only retailer offering its customers an incentive like this Credit: TIKTOK/@holgracewills 4 Clothing in better condition could end up being marketed as second-hand clothing Credit: TIKTOK/@holgracewills But while your items may be gorgeous, there's not always a guarantee you'll be able to sell them. Luckily, there's still an easy way to give your wardrobe a mega clearout - and get £5 vouchers in the process. This is thanks to H&M Garment Collecting & Recycling scheme. The way it works is straightforward too - simply hand in a full bag of unwanted clothes from any brand at the tills in the store and you can get a voucher giving you £5 off when you spend at least £25. Advertisement One person who recently took advantage of the incredible offer is Holly Grace, 25, who shared the process on TikTok. ''I had loads of unwanted clothes that I wanted to get rid of and couldn't sell at the boot fair,'' she said in the video. ''So I decided to bag up my clothes and take them to H&M where you can get a £5 voucher for every bag that you take in.'' What's more, she told fellow fashionistas on the platform, shoppers can do this up to a whopping six times every month - saving themselves a fortune. Advertisement The scheme is great if you've been eyeing up a more expensive garment, such as a stylish autumn coat, and want to slash the bill a little. H&M takes the textiles and recycles them into other products such as cleaning cloths. Fashion lovers rush to M&S to snap up perfect pumps that are 'so pretty' for summer - and they come in various colours to match your vibe Clothing in better condition could end up being marketed as second-hand clothing. When dropping off the unwanted goods, there's no need to limit yourself to just H&M garments - these can be by any brand. Advertisement ''I took Primark PJs, unbranded joggers,'' Holly said in the clip. ''You basically just have to download the app and present your carrier bags and then they'll do it for you at the till. ''They scan your little QR code on the Members side of the app- and then the vouchers will literally go straight on there.'' How to look chic on a budget Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17. This means that every time you spend £25 or more shopping at the retailer, you'll get £5 off - which you can use in-store and online. Advertisement However, it's worth noting that some customers have warned you can only use one voucher per purchase - and they also expire. Holly wrote in the caption: ''Yes, I also have bags full for the charity shop.'' The clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the H&M fan a whopping 12k views in just one day. One person claimed that there's a rival store that runs a similar scheme. Advertisement ''River Island does this also.'' Someone else chimed in: ''I'm not sure if still valid but if you make a new account you get £5 voucher too.''

Musk calls Altman a 'liar', threatens to sue Apple
Elon Musk has accused Apple of unfairly favoring ChatGPT on its App Store and threatened legal action, triggering a fiery exchange with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Tuesday. "Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation," Mr Musk said in a post on his social media network X, without providing evidence to back his claim. "xAI will take immediate legal action," he added, referring to his own artificial intelligence company. X users responded by pointing out that China's DeepSeek AI hit the top spot in the App Store early this year, and Perplexity AI recently ranked number one in the App Store in India. DeepSeek and Perplexity compete with OpenAI and Musk's startup xAI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called the accusation "remarkable" in a response on X yesterday, adding that Musk was alleged to "manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." Mr Musk then called Altman a "liar" in a heated exchange, prompting the OpenAI boss to ask whether Musk would sign a sworn legal statement declaring that he had never ordered changes to the X algorithm to harm competitors or help his own companies. OpenAI and xAI both released new versions of their AI assistants, ChatGPT and Grok, in the past week. App Store rankings listed ChatGPT as the top free iPhone app yesterday, with Grok in fifth place. Apple did not respond immediately to a request for comment. Factors going into App Store rankings include user engagement, reviews and the number of downloads. AI wars OpenAI and Apple announced an alliance in June last year to enhance iPhones and other devices with ChatGPT features. ChatGPT-5 rolled out free to the nearly 700 million people who use it weekly, OpenAI said in a briefing with journalists last week. Tech industry rivals Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and xAI have been pouring billions of dollars into artificial intelligence since the blockbuster launch of the first version of ChatGPT in late 2022. Chinese startup DeepSeek shook up the AI sector early this year with a model that delivers high performance using less costly chips. OpenAI filed counterclaims against multi-billionaire Musk in April, accusing its former co-founder of waging a "relentless campaign" to damage the organization after it achieved success without him. OpenAI alleged in legal documents filed at the time in the northern California federal court that Musk became hostile toward the company after abandoning it years before its breakthrough achievements with ChatGPT. The lawsuit was another round in a bitter feud between the generative AI (genAI) start-up and the world's richest person, who accused OpenAI of betraying its founding mission in a lawsuit last year. OpenAI alleged in its countersuit that Musk "made it his project to take down OpenAI, and to build a direct competitor that would seize the technological lead - not for humanity but for Elon Musk."
