Nap was much needed but I always feel guilty if I have one, ridiculous really isn't it?

Yes Sashy, get some strange questions at times on V!nted on the lower priced items, still waiting on payment for the bundle I mentioned but not holding my breath.

Coffee & cake was indeed lovely, I was a good girl and chose the smallest one available 😉

Just dropped the boys off so enjoying a bit of quiet until DH finished work at 4.

Hit the threshold for Prolif!c and cashed out £6.27 👏

I haven’t give Vinted a go yet, might try a few things instead of flebay. Coffee and cake sounds wonderful, my prlfic been sat at £3.68 for forever lol. X

Would recommend it, really straightforward to use and the buyer pays for postage so that's 1 less hassle too.

My Prolific was also stuck for a long time then I got a customer survey from them asking for general feedback. It may be a coincidence but after I said 'I enjoyed using the site until you stopped sending surveys' I started getting them more frequently again 🤷

Oooh I’m glad you mentioned vinted I went on last night and sold a makeup bag in around an hour and three more things today

just need to wait for work on Monday to print all the labels. One item does say they have paid me for the postage though so not sure if I have listed something different on that one 🤔

Fabulous well done you! If you click on 'my orders' in the profile section you might get a bit of clarity on the postage situation as could be dependant on the method the buyer chose, I'm still a bit of a novice on there ☺️ x

Lovely treat for me today - my Aunt & Uncle who live at the opposite end of the country are here for a visit and had booked a surprise afternoon tea for me, mum, my cousin & aunt so all me efforts of the last week to eat in moderation and exercise have been well and truly undone 🤣 worth it though, was delicious and brought home leftovers for the boys. I promise I'll go for a big walk tomorrow! Was so nice to see everyone in the same room, it's been a while & DH got a pat on the back as apparently he's known about this for a while 👏

Used some more Ama$on vouchers to buy DS1 a base layer top & bottoms ahead of his rugby training recommencing at the end of the month. He enjoys the teamwork aspect of training but I'm not convinced he's cut out for a sporting life bless him but while he enjoys it he might as well be warm 😉

Spent the evening watching Masked Singer (a real guilty pleasure ☺️) my friends and I have a dedicated WhatsApp group for our guesses while we watch & I guessed Lionfish so got the glory tonight.

Feeling really content with life for the first time in a long time, hope it lasts.

For anyone not feeling so good at the moment, keep plodding (to quote lovely beanie 😘) & big hugs xx
