New ambitious start! This is it!

Ah I see. Well. If you are a named beneficiary, I dont see why you couldnt make direct contact with the overseers of the trust. It must be a good wodge if it keeps your uncle in style and gives interest!

Thank you, I would like to know a bit more about it but want to avoid bringing other members of the family into it as the father would turn nasty. Father, auntie and uncle! Xx

Thank you so much for this, have you really sold baby coat hangers? I am not on facebook so that's out of the question, may have to have a look at gumtree! Thank you xx

yes I sold them on gumtre, I was planning on sending them to the charity shop with a bag full of other stuff but my car was playing up so I listed everything on Gum and more then half of my stuff sold but the first thing that went was the hangers!! It was only £1.50 but it helped get my car back on the road!!

That is unbelievable! And so good! £1.50 it all helps! X

So here we are a new day, another day, and still feeling positive! Still not sure what to do about the trust thing, it's all I can think about, it's amazing how low family can be! But never mind onwards and upwards...

Need to still send email to littlewoods and very, will sit down later and do. I am not calling them, prefer to have everything on paper trail!

Not ebayed yet but oh my have I sorted some stuff out! I have a box of clothes and that's only from one drawer! I feel it's going to be a mammouth task but will so be worth it. Looking for the £ signs!

Well back to sorting some things out! No rest for the wicked! Xx

Thank you so much for the information, it's all really helpful. I set up an account today but I need to have a good old look at how to list, I am so rubbish! Do they really charge you for postage too? A spreadsheet sounds good, I will pm you. Thank you again xx

No probs, wait to hear from you via pm if you need it. Yep they are super mean and charge you final value fee on postage now, sigh, but even if its pennies I am making each time it helps the bigger cause

That's awful! They aren't the post people!! You are right it is all about the bigger cause!!!

So pretty awful few days, feeling deflated, concerned for my mental wellbeing and I have consumed far too much chocolate! All started off with a argument with the dad! Nasty piece of work! Well apparently the trust fund is his income, need to wait till he dies to get and they won't talk to me or give me any information about it! Lovely piece of work! Then my iron broke again, out of warranty, got rained on when I behaved myself and walked to shops to save petrol, but I am in the mind set to clear the clutter and get rid of most of my possessions that I really don't need! And hopefully will be able to make some pennies! I'm out of control spendaholic who desperately wants to save and clear the debts!

Hi desperate2save,

Your diary struck a note with me as I too have one child with another on the way. Since I'm an out of control holidayaholic with plenty of debt I can't really offer much advice but just wanted to say hi and 'chin up'. And also, you are pregnant - eat all the chocolate you like! It's hard work growing a human! Xxx
