Hey everyone, I've got a lot to catch up on. I've got so much to do and it's dawning on me that return to work is creeping up rapidly! I haven't dented into the house as much as I would have liked, although much of that is down to DH not me.
Marathon packing session this morning as we had a busy weekend on ebay. 35 parcels due to be dropped off later on :T
I haven't even set my targets for this month yet!
Will catch up with everyone soon x"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 -

We did consider a childminder but there's not a lot of difference in price down here. It's roughly £40 a day for either. If you were closer I'd use you!Well done jwil. :j :T :j you're doing fabulously! As expected.

Quite pleased this morning as DH has had some bids on a load of his bulkier items on ebay :T They don't go out until the weekend, but that will clear some boxes

A couple of sales overnight so they have been posted and payments been made.
I'm off into our bedroom today. I'm going to go through my clothes again and also those of little jwil and little miss as they are both growing out of stuff.
I'm just going to send it all to charity apart from a couple of items I may try on ebay.
My clothes are all starting to fall apart and do not spark joy! I've bought a couple of tops from ebay and am going to see if I can buy the odd cheap thing here and there until I've replaced what needs it.
I hate clothes shopping with a vengeance and it's not easy to find stuff due to my size. I did buy a top from ebay and didn't like it when it arrived. It wasn't anything the seller had done so I just resold it myself. I paid £8. It didn't sell at £5 so I listed it at 99p to get shot of it. It sold for over £15 in the end :T :T"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 -
