Budget Wars - A New Hope (with apologies to George Lucas)

Morning All

Just doing my daily updates before I head into work. I am working an event all weekend. It's slightly terrifying as I have paid for stock but I don't know how much I will make myself. Fingers crossed there are people about.

But it does mean I can claim two NSDs as I will be working all day both days.

My husband will be busy looking after DD and running DS to his class this morning but they might pop in and see me at some point during the day.

I did handover on the sale yesterday. There was no questions asked about the questions over eBay in the end. So that's 2 large items gone from my cupboards in the last week. Admittedly work cupboards but still decluttering. And from my own home another 4 of the endless graphic novels and comics were sold. Maybe we will clear them after all

Oh dear. It might finally be the day I make less than a tenner! Enormous takings of £2.50 so far. Think I have spent £60 just opening up for this event

Fingers crossed for an afternoon rush Bob

Hummm so far £80. I was hoping to make £200 for the weekend, but at the moment minus costs for making my stock I have made £20. Can I take £180 tommorow?

If not, you know what is going into the pot don't you? Yes my £200 eBay money. I know I shouldn't grumble but having already lost my other item sale of £50, to the plumbers bill. And having had an emergency £125 to pay the oven guy I was really looking forward to having that to pay off my credit card.

Seem to constantly have these situations where brilliant I make £250 on selling some off, or I get an extra booking and think fab! But then something crops up and messes up my cashflow. Balls balls balls!!!

Hi All

In the end I made £100 for the weekend, after costs. This isn't the worst thing ever as I get to keep half my eBay money!

Although the event was quiet for me, the people who were organising the event did spectacularly well, and were very pleased. I had two lots of people come up and chat to me about using the venue themselves, & one of the organisers reckons she has 3 leads for me. So all that is very good.

Got home about 6.45 and OH was very pleased to see me. I think having done two full days of looking after both the children, especially the whirlwind that is the baby, he is done in! She really is part baby part goat. She will climb onto anything, regardless of safety. Favourite manovere at present is climbing onto the sofa, and sitting backwards right on the edge. Your heart is in your mouth constantly.

I brought so much back with me tonight. Bread, eggs, soup, sausages, salad, cakes, milk! Reckon well be alright for days

Buzzing still from all the activity of this weelend, hoping to chill now...
