    Well done on the tables, buying and selling. Funnily enough I picked up a rather lovely table in a charity shop the other day for £20, nice and solid. My old one was resisting being a stable table - now we no longer wobble. Hope the food was good, I could enjoy a good curry at the moment.

    I am glad I went although I usually loathe work socials. My dear friend was leaving and I had to see him off.

    I have been up for hours I am too excited to sleep as parents are here for the weekend and it is the HOLIDAY. lol. Cant decide what to do move furniture or start my marking. Oh what a jolly exciting life I lead.lol. Down to last £10 cash...… Payday in £5 days. I am not spending all my side hustle money at all that is all for savings for my retirement fund which is currently pretty non existent. lol.

    Morning - well afternoon!!!! I have been up since early and have moved around my furniture upstairs to make my lounge look larger.:j

    I have a mahooosive list of things to do for work and will try to minimalise little bits when I can. It is such a good feeling.:T I have barely done any housework. :oIt's just nice to hear my parents chatting and to chat to the boys on the phone. I've a fiver so I am staying in and working instead of gallivanting as far as possible. As Dave Ramsey says 'live like no one else so you can live like nooone else' (I think). I might borrow from the xmas fund to sort out one sick friend visit later in the week though and pay it back later this week when I am paid.

    Lol. '..If I were a rich (wo)man lala la la lah…' is going through my head.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    My coffee table fleabay finishes today and I can't see it going for any more than it's already earned £45.

    My plans for today are to wash whites and line dry.

    Then do a bit of ironing (max of 4 items a day) & I wrote 4 lessons.

    My buyer has paid for the little table £45 earned. I've moved it downstairs so upstairs looks even more huge!!!

    Today I am washing darks and line drying. It was frosty this morning but should warm up later. I did lots of marking but there is so much left to do. Still something is better than nothing.

    Mum and I did some tidying in the garage, I also tidied under the stairs and cleaned the bathrooms.
