Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

Shame you didn't send that watersports 'incident' off to You've Been Framed, you could have got £250!
Great news on the figures SJ and making Mrs SJ happy. Happy wife, happy life, as they say!

That's pretty much the only way I've got MrPD on board....told him that once the mortgage is paid off he could retire. What I haven't told him is I plan to go part time and he can continue working! I love the colouring the bricks idea! Definitely going to be doing that!

I like your plan with running - may have to adopt that when/if I can get back into it (dodgy knee + fatigue/muscle weakness for me). I do always want to improve myself, but sometimes it's not worth the added pressure.

DH is on board with the concept, and agrees with the specifics when I ask him for his opinion, but otherwise isn't involved much. We go over the big picture plan fairly regularly, though, and then I'm in charge of implementing it on a day-to-day basis. (That reminds me, I need to have a month where I walk him through what I do for implementation so that he knows the situation if I get hit by a bus!)

Super quick post. Run compeleted, 3 mile dog walk done, 23 new eBay lists (take that glaring bag in the corner), and 71 relisted!

Shattered and off to bed!

Well done on eBay listings and the run! You deserve a decent sleep after that!

Thanks all. Quick update before breakfast routine for us. 9p TT this morning so regular morning logging on continues. I'll post a longer post during my morning break.

Wow 94 eBay listings with your relisted items is massively impressive!

I was pleased I relisted 5 items, sold one on gumtree and have listed 3ore on gumtree. I need to take a leaf out of your book this week definitely!!

Good work on your run too, I push myself a bit too much with the running and then find I don't enjoy it as it's too pressured! keep at the regular running, I find it works wonders for a bit of time out and recharging the. Rain

Fantastic OP for the month :T

And we'll done on the run, getting out there is sometimes the hardest part of running!

Listing on eBay is on my to do list, but I really have to make time to do it! I'm also quite intrigued by the MB you do, I'm going to read the links you posted early to get my head around it.

Great work with the bay
