    Today I have had a chilled day and have not done much. A bit of decluttering of tins out of the kitchen and then ironed 8 items of clothing and decluttered a few clothes into a sack. Only another 6 items to go and I am ready for work!

    The second facebay lady is coming any minute to buy half my crystal set. £12 earned. Yay. I will put the other half on fleabay and we will see if it sells. if it doesn't I do like the highball glasses anyway so I don't mind having two sets.

    I will try to do some work later but feel v tired as my blood sugars have been v low for days.

    I have done another 3 schemes of work today. If I do 3 tomorrow and 3 on Monday I will be nearly done. It is sooooooo boring. I have one week till I go back to work but feel totally chilled. On Tuesday I go to Kew with the boys. V excited. Then on Sunday I go to Winchester. I have two lunches out for next week but to be honest I don't think I can go as I will be getting ready for work and tidying in readiness.

    Today I have made £77 from two sales one person has paid I am just waiting for the other person and will post them out on Monday.

    All being well, I might be swapping my 6 drawer chest set in my bedroom for a 3 drawer one (which will make my room look bigger) and should come tomorrow.

    Well my lovely new drawer came and a lady came and collected the big one. I have made another £30!!!!

    I have to spend a while sorting out what to put in it as I have half the storage space but this is excellent as I am minimalising my life. I am putting all my old stuff in the carboot pile or bin. I have 7 bags to work through and I am going to be ruthless and do one bag a day for the rest of the week.

    Plan for tomorrow:
    • Visit post office and post ebay parcel
    • Iron 4 items
    • Pack away some a box or two
    • Make a curry

    On Tuesday we go to Kew. After this I am going to have a no spend month and only buy food and pay my bills. Everyone's doing this on you tube so I thought Id give it a go as I don't need anything. Fingers crossed.

    Hi dolly, I keep failing at giving up fleabay but Im going to have a go.:rotfl::rotfl: Im just waiting for the rain to stop and I will dash to the post office and post my parcels.

    Jobs for today:
    [STRIKE]Visit post office and post ebay parcel
    Pack away some a box or two
    Make a curry[/STRIKE]
    Iron 4 item of clothing

    I have so much carboot stuff in my garage. I might just reduce the prices down really low to make sure it all sells. I don't know how we are going to fit it in dad's car. I am asking handyman for help. It will just be a total relief when it is gone.
