    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 :o

    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!!

  • 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.
    I have no energy for anything else & it is better gone in my opinion.

    Well, some good progress made - but again didn't complete my whole list :o

    Pleased that I DID manage to reach target for once on the £10 a Day Challenge :p

    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 :o

    Hope you've all had a good May ... :A
