What a fun few days these have been! Little jwil and little miss have both had a tummy bug so it's been a constant conveyor of sick and poo! I'm not sure I'll ever catch up with the washing. I also need to give the carpets a good clean once everyone is clear of it. DH has been struck down today as well, but I'm hoping he won't be quite so messy!
So I've been trying to get some stuff on, and we've sold some more stuff, but it's not been too productive. I must get focussed though now. Fingers crossed I don't get the bug too, though I'll be surprised if I don't the amount of times I've been projectile vomited on. _pale_"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 everyone. Sadly I did get it, so last week was pretty much a write-off!
We did decide that we were going to get some fresh air on Saturday so went and did the car boot sale anyway. We cleared some stuff so that was good.
Back to normal now, DH is back to work and little jwil is back to nursery. He's got to have an op next weekso I'm not sure how much I'll get done next week either.
So I've set myself a massive challenge to see if I can get £1500 of stuff listed this week :eek:
I've pulled out loads of stuff so will really have a go and see if I can get anywhere close.
Wish me luck!"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 -
