I'm with you - two is enough. Can't imagine taking 3 to different clubs. Or housing them. My tiny flat is fit to burst with two! I'm selling everything as they grow out of it. XLoan 1 £5200/£8000
Loan 2 £300/£5800

lol. Sounds like a plan.
Well done on your overpayments jwil.
I managed to list a few bits at weekend, posting some of them out today. I often wonder if I price too cheap when they fly out quick...that said, I was happy with the price and its some stuff gone. So I need to get some more stuff sorted now.
Well done on the sales! I often wonder that too if something sells quickly, but then I always list at a price I'm happy to sell for so I can't complain really."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thanks guys. I am definite that two is enough. Cannot afford three. My body won't take it again either!
Kitten - I'm selling off everything as soon as I can as well. It will be nice to see the back of it all!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
I'm trying to get lots listed this week. DH has next week off so will be nice to have some cash to do stuff. I also hope he'll spend some time continuing with clearing stuff.
He has made some more progress this weekend, and I emptied 5 banana boxes so that's good.
I've prepped some listings and also have identified some more stuff to go, so going to try and get as much as I can on this week."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Well I had a day off this week as I aged a year so decided to do nothing except read and watch dvds (and have cuddles with little miss). That was nice.
Other than that, I did sort some more stuff and get quite a bit listed. I've had some sales which was nice, and went to withdraw my money from paypal yesterday so I could go shopping for little jwil's birthday present and it's not going to arrive for 3-4 days due to problems with paypal. Really annoyed about that! We didn't manage to find what we were looking for anyway but it's not the point!
We're doing some softly softly potty training with little jwil with the hope of properly doing it in a couple of weeks time. He's doing quite well and nursery are helping so that's good.
DH is off now so going to try and get a lot sorted. He's already started so that's good.
Hope everyone is well"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
