Now you have biggest working with you can you sort things out from home to sell and taken them into the shop for her to manage on eBay or another internet site. Load, sell, pack and send, the whole process?

10 things a week and you would soon be sorted. Just a thought.

Very possible! Although she has Bee very busy since she started, her time is flying by at the moment.
While I start tidying up today I am planning to put things aside as I go.

Arghhhh!
Problems with my Housing Benefits yet again, and my Housing didn't change my DDs ( or inform me, until today that I am in arrears.).
Because my Housing Benefits has Been fluctuating, they were just monitoring it! So I was unaware that since June I have Bee slipping into debt. Now they want £550 a month and I struggled to get the £441 the last two months.
So there is no way I will be able to help any of the children whether I want to or not. I will not be putting my 10% ( 20 or other) away into Savings and my Portugal dreams are definitely not going to happen anytime soon!
I have been on to everyone etc, and checked out why? But meanwhile I am going to have to start over again!
I cried, as I have been stressing out before this even happened.
I have been de cluttering, after a spruce of the bathroom, the washing up done, I changed my bed, and started sorting the shelves, work tops, and started to put my summer clothes in a suitcase and started to make room for the Autumn winter stuff.
But my back hurts now and I need a rest.
Dgd is out on her bike, so I can't pop to the post office or food shopping until she's back.
I would have gone earlier but I was in conversation with Housing and council so everything went out of the window!

Breathe, Budget and Menu Plan, see where I am, and how I can turn it around.
I have a black sack of recycling rubbish, a charity bag of clothes, and a very small pile of odds and Dodds that may carboot, (or not!)

As my friend says breathe in & smile out!

Oh b u m s !
Dgd and neighbour's child came to blows, while on bike ride. Then Mum gets involved and goes mental over the phone.! Feel like dejavue from problems when my kids were little. I don't believe in parents falling out when kids argue because sure enough the next day the kids will be friends again and then the adults are enemies for nothing!
I don't like today.
But I should remember that it wasn't the day, it was a few incidents in part of the day.

Breathe!
Look at the cleared surfaces, the reduced ironing pile, the washed sofa covers, and the changed bed!
See feels better already

The benefits claw back has been reduced to £5 a week.
The rent accounts also reduced clawback, agreed to take arrears back over a longer time, so only have to find £460 not £550 phew!
Couple more patterns sold so went to the post office before work every penny counts!
Brought lunch in from home. Trying not to purchase from Baguette shop next door!

Was quite late at work last evening as I dusted off an embroidered Machine to sew a verse for my dgd2's other granny. Biggest is going to have to keep her eye on it for me today, as we need the verse done 5 times, in two different colours and it has to be programmed line by line as the memory only stores 3 lines out of the six!
We are averaging 5 new jobs a day, at the moment. Which is keeping me busy still.
I am less panicked than Wednesday now I have looked at the bills etc. However it is going to be a tight adjustment, while we try to find the funds on the due dates until I can rebuild the bank account somehow.
I was pleased to come home to a tidy bedroom and sitting room, the bathroom and kitchen are not too bad most of the time anyway.
I have a bag for recycling waiting for the next collection, all though I might take it to the Fire Station collecting box.
I am running a little late, as I struggled to sleep after 4pm and was still awake at 4.45 so I put a hypnotherapy tape on and fell asleep through that.
Time to move

Busy busy today.
I didn't leave work until 5.35 so scraped through the door at After school club just before closing.' Twin1 actually Skyped her daughter today. Starting to plan their visit for her Birthday on the 4th and starting to discuss Christmas.
Mum is excited for tomorrow going to the Sewing Bee exhibition
Spoke to my brother on Skype, all is well with them.
Bf is back in the U.K. Safe and sound.
Dgd was happy to get a smilie face in her homework book. (She would not do homework last term it was a battle for every one).
Work has been piling in. There is loads to do next week now.
Monday morning I have a customer coming in with 20 or so items for alterations.

Biggest problem I now face is that the new tenant in the private accommodation next to my shop apparently are smoking cannabis and it is so strong that it is coming in through the nooks and crannies of the building.
So much so that my shop is full of the smell.
I am opening windows, using scented wax candles, frebreeze and worried too death each morning that a customer is going to notice.
I tried to call the police on 101 but after being on hold for 40 minutes I gave up.
I will have to try again on Monday and or call Environmental health maybe.
If the smell carries on, I could loose my business and having just signed a two year lease it could be disastrous.
Not to mention that it is giving me a headache.
They appear to start mid afternoon, by 3.30 today I was feeling sick ��

Blimey that is not good.
As you say it could have buisiness implications.
Hope you can get it resolved quickly.
