Yeah i went through a phase where pre my lil girl being born i used to shave with a double edge safety razor from the olden days. It was grandads lol
Now my little one is here i dont have the time to faff on shaving like i did, so the Harrys razor is back. I had packets and packets of gillette platinum blades.
I sold them on vinted for a tenner
"Every Little Helps"- (Asdamedes 1980's)
We tend to find baby clothes dont go well or can take ages to go on vinted. We buy Blade and Rose outfits for our lil girl and that sells quick. But stuff like vests, sleep suits, romper suits etc theres that many people selling them unless there new with tags its hard.1 -
Should be £16.85 from bets today.
Sold 2 things on Vinted so will walk to the locker for baby's naptime later. Another sold on FB and will hopefully be collected later today.
First bank switch should count as completed today, so £175 within 30 days please 🙏
Having to wfh today as smallest is poorly, which is not ideal. I doubt I'll get much work of any description done tbh. She didn't sleep well last night and I had to go to the petrol station for calpol at half 4, so I'm a bit of a zombie. 10 years of parenting and it's the first time I've ever run out of calpol! Normally I have about 3 bottles in the house at all times 🤣Make £2025 in 2025 #18 - £569.66/£2025

I think I calculated wrong and included my stake in the profit yesterday. It was £6.80 profit. I'm blaming the bad nights sleep for that.
Today's will be £14.80.

Won 20p on my free spins this morning.
Yesterday was quite spenny as I was trapped in the house and we had no food in 🤦♀️
£47.60 co-op delivery
£9.77 klarnaed some Christmas presents
£16.98 ubered breakfast/lunch
£4.99 calpol from probably the most expensive place I could get it
£2.30 school dinners for middle
I missed some from the weekend too:
£14.61 lunch at work
£4.95 Christmas present for mum
Quite a bit of that is from being unorganised, and having run the stores down last month. I haven't done a "big shop" in ages as I haven't been able to afford it, but it's clearly costing me more in the long run.Make £2025 in 2025 #18 - £569.66/£2025

Reminds minds me we must re stock my lil one aint the best either she has a tummy bug1 -
She's not too bad now, but partner has caught it, so just waiting my turn...!Scott_Weiland79 said:Hope your lil one is okay? I would rather be ill myself than my lil one.

Oh no, tummy bugs are the worst! I dread them! We haven't had one for a little while so I keep thinking we're due one 🙈
No profit today, all my balance was taken up by liability for a qualifying bet, which is annoying. Should be £15.71 tomorrow though, and placed another qualifying bet.

£7.22 for tomorrow. Might be more once today's have gone through, but depends which end wins haha. If it's the back bet then I'll just withdraw, and leave it for now. I'm interested to work out profit for it all now, but I don't have the brain capacity at this second

I think I've made about £108 in just under 2 weeks doing matched betting. I know it can't continue forever because I will run out of free offers, but in this horrible squeakybum moment where I don't technically have enough left over for food, let alone Xmas presents, it's brilliant.
Got my £175 bank switch money yesterday too, so that will do a lovely big shop! Our stores are so run down I don't even think I could make a meal from what's left!Make £2025 in 2025 #18 - £569.66/£2025
