Good Evening Angelettes,
April was pretty much a washout for me earning wise, and I didn't manage all of my targets what with our little loss
Some of the missed activities will roll forward again to May, with a couple of new ones added.
Hope you all had a good April ...
Be back later to post up my goals - Roll on May :A

Looks like a great plan - well done on getting motivated!! I know I need to but am so lacking motivation!!
urg x x0 -
Hi Urg, not so sure about the getting motivated bit ... It seems so relentless & not even a hint of making any headway
I'm seriously thinking of just bagging/boxing everything up into Tip / Charity piles & just getting shot of it. :think: Just can't handle looking at all these boxes & clutter anymore, and I've got clothes everywhere. I spent most of yesterday trying clothes on to see what still fits, just so I can then see what items I dont wear anymore (or haven't for at least a year) so that I can then get shot of stuff.... and I still haven't finished it :doh:
As for putting it on Eb*y, had such poor results so far, not sure I can be bothered. Might keep a few "good" bits & then just get shot of rest. The local FB selling group I joined, seems to be all kiddie stuff, electronics or businesses selling their stuff and I've still not got round to putting any of the larger stuff on Gumtree either
On the money front, I'm now up to £164.50 / £310 for the month so not too bad but only got 11 days left to try and get target:o
Off for a catch up before shopping, got some other news to waffle on later but also need to update some figures first.
Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

I agree with charity/tip pile.

Well, some good progress made - but again didn't complete my whole list
Pleased that I DID manage to reach target for once on the £10 a Day Challenge
Not really had much to report, things just ticking over.
Still some activities that are ongoing - can't believe how much shredding I've got :eek::eek: and I'm darned sure that these boxes are multiplying in the dark .... thought it was only mushrooms that did that
Hope you've all had a good May ... :A
