    Morning 

    waiting for a wee one to arrive late as usual but it’s given me a chance to look at my banking.

    we have £1229.34 for the car fund and will increase later on today when one of my parents pay me.

    I have just over £800 in avon orders and everyone has been texted to notify them of delivery tonight majority say they want it tonight so that’s good.  Think we make just under £200 in commission so £100 is to go towards Xmas presents and the rest is undecided at this moment.

    money in normal bank is looking a bit tight but we will manage quiet weekend hopefully this weekend so that’ll save some pennies although need to go out and get KK measured for his feet as I think he’s went up a size already only went up a size in July.

    looking for items to declutters, so far I have got rid of a pile of dvds……212 to be exact made £30 for them and I’m meant to meeting someone for the Disney dvd bundle today so that’s another £10.  Then I need to sort through my box sets and majority of them gone as well as we don’t watch them anymore so they are wasting valuable storage space.

    still haven’t painted the kitchen yet it’s still got the plaster look just don’t have the energy been feeling exhausted all week and not sleeping right isn’t helping either so just shattered working 12 hours shifts every day.  Might attempt it at the weekend as we have the white paint just so we can get the plaster covered

    Hi everyone

    my Disney dvd bundle has been collected. Woo hoo made £10 from them not much but better thank nothing and more space freed up.

    have decided to sell my cereal dispenser as it takes up too much space and the kids seem to be into their toast right now and the cereal keeps going rock solid.  We shall see if it sells.

    now to find more things.  All monies from selling stuff will go towards my new radiator covers for the living room.

    got the majority of my avon delivered last night for: those who agreed.  Only  w weren’t in but one has been to collect today and another is getting theirs on Monday morning so don’t need to go out tonight.

    quiet night tonight hopefully as hubby’s depression is quite bad at the moment and it’s affecting everyone so he’s been told to go back to the doctors and get his medication reviewed.

    Afternoon

    just passing time before I take miss Peggy to her vet appointment for her booster jag today.

    sold another item pair of kks trainers for £5 someone is meant to be collecting my cereal dispenser but I think I have another time waster on my hands here.

    also found the paint hubby bought for the masonry that wasn’t the right colour so that’s been put up for sale.

    ive decided I’m going to get the loft hatch done so he’s booked in for 22 October and it’s costing me £275 but it’ll be worth not having the hump ladders up the stairs to get up the lot so I’ve to sent the deposit of £125 over which I have in the home account and that’s all that money gone that I saved so hard for 😢 the remaining £150 on the day.  So far I’ve got £60 in sales which were meant for my radiator covers but they can wait.  So it’s on I want to sell stuff to pay for the loft hatch so it technically doesn’t cost me anything that’s always a win

    Savings for the car is looking good I should have £1800 in there by the end of the week.  Money is tight but it’s all worth it.

    right off to get ready to walk Peggy pup to her appointment xx

    I’m relaxing today too. I’ve done some bits just feeling really wiped out recently so enjoying having the time to just sit!

    Sure you’ll make the money. You’ll have something there to sell! X
