hey jwil

sounds like some progress is being made by both you and mr jwil on the decluttering :T

hope the selling goes well for you today xx

Thanks DDFW. I think we've done quite well :T Not totted up yet. Not huge amounts of cash, but lots gone.

Going to do another one tomorrow to see if we can clear some more.

jwil

Well we have done another boot sale this morning and cleared a load more stuff :T Again not huge amounts made but some bulk gone.

We sold 68 books yesterday and I think a similar amount have gone today, so that's good. Lots of other small bits gone too and a couple of bulkier items.

2 boxes of books are now destined for charity as I don't want to carry them any more. The rest that are there will go out a couple more times before they are sent on as well.

I'll have to get reading to restock

I behaved myself reasonably today though I did spend £10 on some cloth nappies and accessories. That was a massive massive bargain though so I'm very pleased. Most of them will be used by the new baby, but a couple of bits are for little jwil in my endless quest to try and keep him dry at night!

Also bought little jwil a couple of toys to keep him occupied whilst we were there, but they will be sold again imminently once he loses interest.

My pelvis is agony now, so won't be up to much this afternoon.

Got free listing offer on ebay and haven't got anything to relist so will try and make use of that this week. See how many I can get sorted and on.

Also have an annoying buyer on ebay who is obviously trying to open a case too early. They are blocked, but fully expecting a claim of INR off them :mad:

Hope everyone is well

jwil

Well we sold another 90 books today :T :T So that's 158 gone this weekend.

We've made almost £140 between us this weekend, so not bad considering we only had low value stuff.

We might do the same next weekend, will see how things go and whether we add much new to the pile.

Spotted that my annoying ebayer appears to have a history of not receiving stuff *sigh*.

Listed 2 items on ebay.

Hey everyone, hope you are all well.

I've pretty much wasted these few days off, have been so uncomfortable, just no energy to do anything. Had a scan the other day and baby looks like she's going to be a big one :eek: They say they can't do anything about my spd either, just take paracetamol if I want. I can't see that's going to touch it so haven't bothered.

I've been trying to rest and read, and got rid of a couple of books. Luckily DH has been busy so I'm trying to do a load of listings for him at the moment.

I'll further update later.

jwil

Aaarggghh! We are having our boiler serviced today. They've just turned up over an hour early, so I haven't had a chance to tidy up properly :mad:

Paracetamol is rubbish if it gets worse they can give you cocodamol I only took this when necessary but in the end I was under doctors supervision using tramadol pain was unbearable xx

Well done on the book sales that's quite an amount to shift xx

Thanks Abba. Saw a different midwife yesterday and she's finally referred me to physio. I'll see if I get an appointment before baby gets here!

I've also got to have the glucose tolerance test again and they've suggested I get some iron to see if it helps with general rubbishness.

jwil

DH has taken little jwil out for the day :T So I've got the place to myself. Going to try and balance resting with getting some stuff done.

Firstly to update all of my lists.

I haven't made any more payments yet, so I'm just going to reset some targets for November and start early for that. I'm going to have a break from the end of November, so will try and do as much as I can. I've got the boiler service to pay for plus car insurance and MOT so need to get as much as I can in.

1.[STRIKE]£175[/STRIKE] - £175C1
2.[STRIKE]£178[/STRIKE] - £178 MI
3.[STRIKE]£2340[/STRIKE] - £2340 LI
4.[STRIKE]£164[/STRIKE] - £164 HA
5.[STRIKE]£889[/STRIKE] - £889 BCM
6. [STRIKE]2147[/STRIKE] - £2147 BCM

Total: [STRIKE]£5893[/STRIKE] - £5893

Right, now that is a massive target :eek: but I've included absolutely everything including (high) estimates for MOT and Insurance, also standard bills, mortgage and nursery etc. I've done that because it will give me something to pay off which does help me keep my focus and enthusiasm going, and also if by some miracle I managed to pay all of this, my life would be so much easier on maternity leave.

It's massively unachievable, but I hope that it will encourage me to keep going this month.
