ATB'S Frugal Foray to Freedom

CathT

We took the children to the big toy shop last year to spend birthday money (birthdays are two weeks apart). They were so overwhelmed! Rain forecast all day here today too but garden not suitable for playing in as have scaffolding up and bits of diggers and tools etc. Hoping to visit our local NT property next weekend to catch the end of an event they are running.

Hope you have a relaxing Sunday.

Yummy, just made the batter for HM Yorkshires to have with our chicken dinner later. Looking forward to it already. Time to cook a full English now!

Been volunteering this morning, and my lovely friend gave me so gorgeous clothes she no longer wears :j

DH has lit the wood burner already and we are watching Wreck it Ralph Plans for this week -

• Achieve 4 NSDs
• Complete piece of consultancy work
• List 4 things on eBay
• Write to mortgage provider again
• Send a letter to very asking them to close my account

That'll do as a starter :T

Nine items listed and two have already sold - that's £18.50 in the pot :j

Must dash, ATB x

Loads achieved today and it's still only the morning (just )

Heaps of chores and admin dealt with, as well as some work. Listed another item on ebay, sold two more and packaged up what sold yesterday ready to take to the post office later. My iPad makes a "kerching" noise when someone pays for an item, I am stupidly happy with that

So my list for the week:

Achieve 4 NSDs - today won't be as I have ebay bits to post
Complete piece of consultancy work - DONE
List 4 things on eBay - DONE
Write to mortgage provider again - DONE
Send a letter to very asking them to close my account - DONE

Can I take the rest of the week off please

ATB x

Personally I wouldn't count that as you're not "spending" (in the usual sense), you're just using the money paid to you for postage to do the actual posting.

Good point, thank you!

Another £29.55 in sales whilst I was on the school run. I think, for me, listing things at reasonable buy it now prices really is the way to go. That's around £68 made this weekend from good quality kids clothing, sold at reasonable prices. Very happy with that :money:
