A few more sales trickling out which is good.
There seem to be quite a few slow payers at the moment which is annoying. I listed a load for DH yesterday so hoping that will sell well.
I've been keeping on doing some of the flylady tasks, it does make me feel better knowing I've done something, and focussing on a small area helps.
Weather's looking good this weekend so hoping to do a car boot. It's either the last or penultimate one for the season so hoping to have a final clear out of stuff for this year.
I've received a £10 sainsburys voucher from a survey site so will use that towards Xmas stuff."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 -
