    So good things that have happened today

    - one ebay sale
    - bought a necklace for £10 and it scanned through the till at £2
    - 3 for 2 on my wedding makeup
    - lunch bought for me by MIL
    - I've opened another savings acc attached to my regular acc to transfer all the odd pennies over to and that will go to OP as and when it builds up.
    - went to buy a hoodie and kept looking at them repeating "mortgage" in my head and didn't buy one lol

    knackered now!

    Maybe wait a month or two for summer clothes or until we have a little sunny period and people will be thinking of summer clothes!

    Good to hear all the positive things that have happened!

    Oh forgot to say, Sainsburys have packs of 12 birthday cards (boys and girls) for £1.79. They come in packs of two designs and the quality it very good. Perfect for all of dd2's parties that she goes to at a fraction of the cost. I bought a pack of boys and girls, but the boys will prob last us a lot longer.

    Utterly crap nights sleep last night. Woke up this morning and emptied my wardrobe, gutting it of everything I don't wear. I decided there was no poin t it sitting there just making the place look full. I now have a pile for charity, ebay and the loft ready for car boot in the spring.

    Also swept the driveway this morning, we get all the leaves outside the front door and it always looks a mess, so that's tidy for a few hours. Also wiped down the surfaces in the kitchen and now sitting with a coffee.

    Work later :(

    TGIF, shame I have to work all weekend though lol. Made homemade burgers for dinner tonight they were so yummy.

    Three ebay sales in the last day which is nice, and of course it's a free listing weekend because I'm working and wont have a lot of time to think about preparations for listing, but I will do my best.
  • Hi Yukkibear, congrats on the ebay sales :j Didnt realise it was a free listing weekend. They usually email me but didnt this time..........will be on a mission tomorrow to do a bit of decluttering.

    Good luck with the decluttering wabl. I need to try and get as much done this evening when I get home as poss. Too much to get rid of it's not funny, but lack the inclination for listing, wrapping and posting. The money is good though ;)

    Is it too early to sell summer clothes yet? I have a pile of DD's from last year that I need to bung on, perhaps a bit early though?

    I'd wait a little longer, i have a pair of Clarkes sandals i want to sell that are immaculate but am waiting for better weather to sell. How old is your DD, i could bid for your stuff?
