    It's always nice to feel like you're getting something for free! Double bargain if you're getting a few months of entertainment out of it :)

    Thank you hardly anything left now which is great :smiley:
    £225 ish was my total if everyone pays up and is happy etc. I have took off the last few listing bar 1 as totally had enough already but I think the last of it will go to the CS when they open again. 
    Cleared out a few of OH drawers not that he will notice but I did mention to him as I know I must be an annoying neat freak. One day this week needs to be a flylady type day of fridge, floors and cobwebs everything else is good enough. 

    Nothing from solicitor or no large bill yet from hmrc but very sick of waiting now. 

    Tomorrow I'm going to go through and list Xmas presents I have in for who, final wrapping and make a last xmas shop list. 
    I'm not sure if I'm going to have a tree this year some days I think yes other days I think just getting out the Xmas ornaments. 

    Still eating ugly job frogs, must arrange to clear out other house and get on the market in December with it being so far away its silly just to hang on to it. 

    Need to take dogs to vets for jabs etc so will sort tomorrow. 
    Paid my bit of council tax so all up to date to next year. 

    Nothing much else to report must try better with eating more good food each day, find it so easy to forget to look after myself properly since I lost mum.
    Hope everyone is well and safe.

  • Update to total think it's £225 minus £16..just had 2 buyers with damaged by courier parcels, just my luck and poor buyers!
    Puts me off selling but not really anything to declutter now bar the one bag for ebay selling which may now make its way now to the CS.

    That's really frustrating :(
    There does seem to be a spate of really bad couriers at the moment though. Of the last two things we've ordered, one got delivered to the wrong address (fortunately that neighbor is honest) and the other item was quite literally thrown at my husband by the courier (it was something delicate too. Good thing it was well wrapped!).  I can understand them wanting to do contactless delivery, but why not place the item on the ground?
    I can see why you don't want to deal with the hassle of refunds/insurance claims though :(

  • I'm still on the clearing down, started a little on plus ones stuff  :D less to move with in the end. I even did the kitchen drawers, closed plus one medical cabinet - it was just full of things/crap. Onwards and upwards thou and seem to be doing OK with the getting stuff out of the house - currently on my second charity sack and a Xmas present to wrap and 2 /3 parcels to post when/if  they pay me  :(
    Starving today but think because I'm doing more clearing I've worked up the appetite  :D and what is it with washing that appears from no where  >:)
