    Thanks everyone. He finished yesterday but is paid til the end of the month. Flipping annoying.



    I had a number of sales yesterday so that's good, 15 parcels packed this morning.

    I've also been trying to catch up on surveys. I'm 15 points short of a £50 redeem on you gov so hoping I get another survey soon!

    I'm so sorry jwil.
    On a positive note, now he isn't at work he could perhaps either help you with the littlies or with the sorting and listing of stuff to sell.
    Hopefully this would mean you can achieve your clutter free/much less of it and or achieve more money quicker? Just a thought.

    Well as you can imagine this weekend has been full of cheer!

    I'm trying to encourage DH to be positive, but it's not really happening.

    Some sales have trickled through which is good.
