    My mind and ocd is telling me it's time to "money shuffle" :dance::dance::dance: but date is telling me different. It's a five week month, so need to be patient :whistle:

    Received my e-0n bonus to the tune of £10 so shuffling over the equivalent to o/p pot :)
    but leaving survey £3 till next week, that's the plan anyway :think:

    Work was mentally exhausting today, so having an early night in the hope it will refresh me for the next 2 working days, then it's the weekend.

    Up with "gusto" this morning.

    Since getting rid of all those black bags a couple of weeks ago, last night I started to go through my wardrobe - again :o So started another bag for CS, and a few items that can go on the bay.

    So no time like the present I'm up and ready to list (actually been up for 1 hour now) Batteries charging :o forgot to put them on last night, even when I told myself to. So its a pile of ironing for me first this morning, then listing, then cut hedge, then batch cooking and maybe will get round to those Lemon & Coconut slices I keep dreaming about :drool:

    Ready to take on all the necessary jobs today, so will be very busy.

    Hope you are too busy to read this AFK!

    I have finished my list! :beer:

    Admittedly I have begun writing a new list, but as I'm two weeks ahead of schedule I will make a start on the new one. Am still decluttering here too. Another trip to the tip planned this week at some point.

    Two weeks until the holidays! Cannot wait. Not heard yet about the other thing we discussed. Deadline isn't gif another week tho.

    Bexster :)

    Nope - not too busy - having a break, rather spoiled by the fact, I bought some blueberry muffins yesterday and went to have one this pm and on second glance had what looked like a slight fur on it,ughhhh, They are going back:mad: Date on them 5th July 2017.

    :j Well done on finishing your list :) and on starting a new one ;) Lists are just never ending.

    Had a slight hiccup in work, due to the fact someone poking their nose in. Soon sorted it out though :)

    No doubt you will hear something when least expected :)

    Muffins duly returned.

    Fixing a piece of furniture:T , sounds like something I would have a go at, as well. Excellent work and savings.

    Today what with work and hayfever, I'm exhausted. I then went on to batch cook - freezer now full, but can't say I enjoyed 1 minute of it, this time round.
    Trip to ike@ on the cards, got lovely food containers out of there, and since this is going to be a regular "thing" then investing in the utensils/equipment is the right thing to do, fed up with all shapes and sizes and lids either disappearing or not fitting.

    And in MFW style I have just switched accounts:D. Still need to do a little more work on this, but its a start.

    With it being payday tomorrow, I have just o/p £93.44 just to round off the odds before mortgage payment comes out.

    Weather much cooler now, but hayfever continues, but at last getting a good night's sleep.

    A few more sales on the bay, which is ticking over nicely.

    I read on here about a bag of items for ebaying and think, if only. I could say I have 2 wardrobes full :rotfl: have wanted to for a very long time - CS & ebay everything and start again. If only I had the time.

    o/p 3790.52/5000

    Bite sized chunks! Whilst kettle is boiling in morning take some pics of 5 items on your phone or tablet. Then later in whilst drinking other brew get em listed, then in another bag! Rinse and repeat every few days. When pics are done I can get a listing done in 3mins, but I never spend more than 30mins listing.
    MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......

    You make it sound soooooo easy :T

    Maybe I'm too pernickety :o

    need the item on a hanger, photo, change to next item, etc etc, then need item beside me for fabric, size, length, width, tags etc, etc. then decide on price, then postage, so stop, start, stop, type, start, stop, measure, type, stop, start, etc etc :o

    Going to have a go at your method, seems like a dream :A although maybe not in the morning.
    I'm usually parcelling up items to be posted as nearly every day I have something to post :D

    I'll try anything to make life easier for myself.

    I need to be just that little bit more - patient.

    Facts and figures will be late due to the 1st being at the weekend. Can't wait.

    Apart from that the day starts off with my 3rd washing nearly finished, the other 2 out, bed changed, bins out and kitchen sparkling.

    Next will be windows and mum is going to post ebay parcel for me. That starts off the sold items for this month as 1. 42 items sold last month, which I'm pleased with.
    Also finished another survey, so will wait and claim on Mon/Tues, when financials will be done.

    A nicer day than yesterday with sun out, and I'm feeling good. Plenty of energy to get things done.

    Update - 2 items now sold
