£22.35 from Music Magpie trade in. Picking up Wednesday. Had more items but the box was full. Grace is at mums for a few hours this afternoon, and NIM is at work, so I'll be going up into the attic and getting a few more stacks of books to do the next round of trade ins. Also need to wrap some Amazon sales today to post tomorrow. Feeling very on the ball atm. Nap would be nice again mind, Grace has had me up at 6 the last two days, I shouldn't complain at 6 hours sleep when generally its been a lot less for the last 2 years, but I just desperately want a full nights kip!

Went for our photoshoot with Venture yesterday (Christmas present off my brother). We had a lot of fun and I think they're going to get some lovely pics, but they're so crazy expensive (£95 for a 7x5"!). We get one 7x5" included in the shoot, highly unlikely we'll get anything else due to the price, but from what I've read they store your images for a year or more so if we get a lottery win in that time (or pay off the debt and have saved for a treat) then we can always buy another print at a later stage.

You really are on the ball. It's great to see, I haven't seen you in this frame of mind for a while and it's lovely to see

I was woken up at 7am this morning by both kiddies. They went to sleep at 7.30pm last night so I can't complain but I love when they stretch it to nearly 8am!

A few of my friends have had really lovely shots done by Venture. When Evie was 9 weeks old we paid around 400 euro for shots of her and Max, but it was hard to turn any of them down. It wasn't Venture, but a well known photography studio near us. The ones I have on my Facebook now were amazing value. For myself and the 2 kids, and my nephew and 2 nieces and my Mam and Dad it was 100 euro for an hour and she gave us a disk with 90 photos. She got every photo arrangement possible and was so cheap. :money::money::money: lots of swirly Martins for me!

Happy due date birdie! Hope he doesn't keep you waiting too long

Very impressed with all your money making Dinah!

Yes, fingers crossed your little one makes an arrival soon, Birdie

I managed some book trade-ins over the weekend too, hopefully £33 to come and some much needed de-cluttering done at the same time. I listed some clothes on fleabay too rather than charity shopping them, but not sure it will be worth all the effort. I forgot what an age listings take!

Happy due date Birdie!!! How are you feeling?

Ali-OK

I hope you don't mind me posting - it was your first post on this diary that inspired me to come back on here when I read it in October - it's taken me until now to find it again though :rotfl:

Just wanted to say you're doing really well and to thank you - financial freedom is exactly what I want/need and was a lightbulb moment to not just shift my debt, but to get working on reducing the mortgage too.

I'd like to follow your journey if I may - very inspiring. I've used Zapper for our books so far and got a second pile building
