    Managed to add to savings yesterday-took some bags of coins in too. :)
    Made a couple more sales. :)
    Lots to do today.
    It seems to be a never ending battle just trying to catch up with the washing!
    Hoping for a low spend day today-Optimistically, less than a fiver.

    Managed a few more sales over the weekend. :) nearly half way there with the sales target for this month. :)
    Got rid of some stuff this month. Well over 100 items after having a cull of clothes and shoes. :)
    Still got to sort the shed and still got to sort the loft.
    I'm also tackling some of the overdue maintenance tasks this month. Trying to do this as cheaply as possible. :)

    Sorted shed out yesterday and managed to get rid of:

    1 kite
    3 tins of old paint
    10 lengths of wood etc
    2 plastic tubs
    1 vase

    So that's 26 items altogether. :)

    Still got a way to go to achieve the £200 target for savings

    Not started on loft yet. :(

    Still need to sort lounge

    Made a start on bedroom but not done yet

    I have added £300 to savings :)

    Not sure how much I've paid off the mortgage until I check.

    So to say it's 26th...I have a lot of stuff to do in 5 days. :(

    Managed to get some YS meat today-saved about a tenner.
    Made a few sales too over last couple of days.
    It's now looking like I might manage to have made £150 worth of sales this month-fingers crossed. Hoping to do better next month.
