  • Amazing sales figures! Well done you.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

  • Oh my goodness - great selling! You sound SO organised with your clothes! Like a actual app?!?!?! I think sometimes debt problems go with a general sort of chaos / living in fantasy land. It's interesting in a lot of the diaries people are not only super on top of their finances but like you super on top of a lot of other things...different approach to life. 
    March 2020 - 21k of debt; September 2020 - 14k of debt. Debt free target date September 2021

  • Got some cashmere gloves coming from Scotland so nice to have a treat on the way 😁
    Only bedside cabinet left to sort and that's it for me - I have left plus ones alone for now 😂

  • Didn't sort the bedside cabinet as couldn't face it. Cleared another bag to the charity and dropped it off so all good.  :)
    3bay posting to do this weekend and shattered. All birthday gifts sorted, 1 card left to write and a present to post but amazingly all within budget.
    Happy days.

    Blew my allocated food shop money in one go with 3p to spare. 

    Nice to be on track but no news from hmrc so no idea of future bill which is just so frustrating.
    Nothing else to report lol. Just resisting the urge now not to buy snuggly fleece blankets. Starting on the Xmas to do Sept 20th but I already have invested in sellotape as I know I'm bound to forget that.

  • well done on the sales. That's a fantastic amount. Would you like to adopt my kids as nieces and nephews 🤣. I love to buy bits for mine too but there is so many of them now I feel bad if I buy for 1 or 2 and not the other 14.

    Hope you're having a lovely weekend x

    Thank you I've opted for navy as don't trust myself with cream ones. I immediately will want another pair I'm sure. Life is short and it's always nice to have a touch of luxury if the budget allows :sweat_smile:

    So 51 items total have been sold /gone out the house. OMG and quite a haul to charity. 
    Last parcels should all be received by Tuesday so Wednesday I can breathe - all being well. 

    I have ended the listings for a bit as shattered, so I have a few to relist when I can be bothered/need a bit of funds. 
    I have found a wardrobe app, but didn't catalogue all my clothes yet (I may never) and also looked at joining Ynab (shock horror) 
    Reminder to self:post birthday cards! 
    Hope everyone OK, just shuffling some funds around.

  • Cashmere is awesome, though sadly not always very ethically produced.  Which means I am forced to spend time looking at British wool blankets, socks, duvets... and linen sheets...  o:):D
