    Sorry for the lack of contact, it was a hectic day yesterday.

    Made a payment of £42 this morning :T and have withdrawn £17 from paypal today as well which will count towards my raising extra funds.

    I've got 2 people who haven't paid up yet which is most annoying :mad:

    Took some very large parcels to the post office yesterday so that was nice to get rid of some bulky items :j

    Didn't manage to get my day of relaxation over the weekend, but I'm glad we got some stuff done anyway so I don't mind.

    Hope everyone is well :)

    Just popping in after a couple of hectic days at work

    Good to see so much decluttering jwil..really impressive!! Overpayments too!!

    DDFW..I know these things can be tough..it may be worth trying to get someone else to 'translate' and write a starting point for you. Often I think its hard to put yourself in a place where you arent currently, but a good friend etc may be able to articulate better than you can....iyswim....sorry need a cup of tea..words are failing me! ;-)

    I agree with Brizzle that it's a good idea to get someone else to look at your CV for you - preferably someone who is not a close friend and who can cast a professional eye over it.

    Hey everyone, hope you are all well.

    Bizarrely had a few items go out today, not sure how I managed that. I got some good prices though and sold a couple of bits I wasn't expecting to so am quite happy there :T

    Thanks peace and freedom - i was supposed to have someone look over it but they let me down. Fortunately jwil has looked at the bits i was concerned about and has been brilliant and given me some good input too :D I do consider jwil a close friend however but i also trust her professional eye ;)


    And another little pot of herbs is growing :j:j:j

    Hey everyone :)

    I can't believe it is free listing AGAIN this weekend, they must be really desperate!

    I sold a book on amazon today for the first time in ages :j

    I also withdrew £24 from paypal so that plus the book is £30 to add :T :T

    Hope everyone is well :)
