    shellyosborne good luck with jewellery making. I am so not crafty.

    Well, I've had an epic couple of days. I listed s load of furniture on our local Facebook selling site and got rid of almost all of it, at amazing prices. I must say I am amazed at what people will buy - I even managed to sell of some house plants that I no longer can be bothered to look after!!
    Total is 848, I'm staggered.

    Anyway, I also did some invigilation which will pay out next month and I still have some more furniture to sell.

    Wow that is epic, you can chill for May and June now lol you're all done xx:beer: Well done x
