Phew! Made it to half term.
Lot's to update my diary with and some exciting news
I have been on a mission selling stuff on £bay, Gumtr££ and FB selling. In total for October I have managed to clear £315 after fees and postage tis month so far :T These sales have literally been from our own stuff which has been gathering dust and unused for years in some cases.
Last week I was inspired by some links to resellers (thanks Ellidee) so Mr Light and I popped to a local car boot sale to see if we could see any booty to resell for profit. Initial outlay of £10 and am hoping for a profit of around £40. Watch this space :rotfl:
First @von order has gone well, over £200 in sales which will give me £40 in profit after initial admin fee and next brochures. Apparently nobody does @von at all in my village so will aim to build a customer base. I will actually be The @von lady!!
I am really enjoying doing the whole selling thing and think it will most likely be my side hustle for when I reach FIRE.
So what's the exciting news...........work agreed to my unpaid leave request :j"These things take time but I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped"0 -

It's been a while since I have updated the state of play. I have had so much change over the last 6 months I am almost unrecognisable in many ways. There is one final piece of the puzzle which should be put in place by the end of the week then I shall return with a mega update.
I hope that all is well with anyone who comes across this post "These things take time but I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped"0 -
