Sounds like everything is on the up. I know what you mean about leaving the house. I think yesterday was the first day the kids didnt leave our house this eater all be it for a walk, a park or a garden. Definitely the most things we have done this year. We got caught in a big hailstorm.on the park on Tuesday so yesterday we stayed in and i tried to do a bit of a clear out - then remember why I avoid doing that when the littles are in!

Enjoy the rest of the holidaysI'm pleased because it's mostly related to stopping eating in the evening rather than any major changes in diet!

I've sorted out my books and I've got around £22 due to me when I send them off. That's not too bad. I opened up the three bigger sites and put the barcodes into each of them and then divided the books between the two offering the most money. I was surprised that most of them were accepted this time!
I still have a few left so have started a box for charity, and will post that once I've filled it. There seem to be a few that will accept postal donations. I'll have a look and see what else I've got going around the house. I think it's going to be hard to get rid of stuff locally for a while as a lot of shops were still limiting donations before we went into lockdown last time."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
