Shifting this debt one £ at a time.

I managed to get 30 listings done yesterday :T Did a couple of surveys and also contacted one survey site to see why I had apparently been kicked out. That's all sorted and I'm back on with them again.

I've been offered a well paying survey for insurance, so will be taking advantage of that!

Time to get focussed on selling again now. It will be too late for things to be posted by Christmas, so I need to get on. I was hoping for some bonus cash this month, but it appears that it's not happening this year, so I have to get earning.

Need to finish the gift shopping today, just a couple of bits to get, and we will be doing most of the food shopping this weekend, so need to see what we've got and write a list.

Hope everyone is well

I think we are pretty much done now for Xmas. Have spent quite a bit on food etc, but haven't gone overboard.

Need to get wrapping now! Little jwil is getting very excited now. I've picked out a few of his books that he never looks at and wrapped them up. We are opening one each night and reading it before bedtime. He loves it, and I'm getting a bit of variety from reading the same books each night

Little miss is not letting me have much sleep at the moment, hoping that calms down a bit soon.

A couple of items sold on ebay. Low value but it's a couple of bits gone. Nothing else going out until later in the week, so I won't have to spend tomorrow packing which is nice, so hopefully I can do other stuff instead.

Hope everyone is well

I've just redeemed £50 from a survey site :T :T Won't count it until I receive it though.

How much stuff have you got jwill? You might be better off opening a shop. You're so efficient I don't understand how you still need to declutter. I wish I was as good as you at eBay. Maybe I should catalogue all my clutter too as it feels so good when it's gone! Even the rubbish at this point.
How are you doing with two little jwils? I really thought they'd be similar but dd2 still doesn't sleep through and is much pickier about weaning. They see their toys in a different way too. Yay for no more visits! X

We have tonnes of stuff. We both have hoarding tendencies and we have spent the last few years selling the contents of a relative's hoarded house. We have nearly finished that now, so need to focus on clearing our own stuff. Also little jwil and now the baby will be providing us with more stuff to clear as they outgrow it all.

I like cataloguing it, it's nice to see what's gone and I can then look back on it!

It's ok with 2, but a shock to the system! It's very hard work with both of them demanding attention. They are pretty good though. Little jwil didn't sleep through for over 2 years. Hoping little miss will not be the same! She is pretty chilled out like he was, but is incredibly windy!

Struggling today. Little miss has been very unsettled the last few days due to her wind or maybe colic. I'm shattered and she seems to think that 4am is getting up time.

We've been busy bees this morning though. Little jwil is at nursery so we've been to see the health visitor, registered at the gp and booked our 6wk checkups, been into town to buy some different bottles, did some more food shopping (and spent too much!), got little jwil a seat and step for the toilet (going to attempt potty training next week :eek: ) picked up the turkey and also a freebie book for little jwil.

I've sold a couple of bits on ebay and so will post them when I pick up little jwil. DH has a return request from someone who appears to be taking the mick. They say the item is damaged, but it was most definitely not when it was sent, and the only way it could have been damaged in the way they say it was, was if the whole thing had been completely crushed. We've accepted the return anyway, but if it comes back as we think, the buyer will be reported. Their feedback suggests they have loads of 'issues' with things they buy, including someone else suggesting they've damaged something after they purchased it. It seems to me that they wanted parts of the item, but having taken it apart have decided they don't want it any more, but have damaged it in the process. :mad:

I did manage to get some listings done yesterday, and have adjusted some of mine this morning to relist. I've pulled some stuff off which will either be bulked up or will go to car boot now.

Redeemed £5.80 from a survey site as well


Hope everyone is well
