DH has sold another 9 items so that's a bit more gone. He's going through all his listings and pulling some stuff off and seeing what else can be done. It would be nice for them to be a bit more consolidated!
I've identified a few things that I will try and sell too. That will be the first for a while for me! I'll try and get them on.
Today I'll look through all the stuff we've set aside for nursery and make sure it's all clean and in good condition. I'll try and sort out the rest of little miss's clothing and make sure that's all washed and dried as well.
First, take the kids to their swimming lessons. Hope everyone has a good day

Hope you have a good day and swimming lessons go well. Loved the park crawl idea. I've had to do similar a few times to avoid being in ones that are too busy. It's quite exciting for the kids to travel to more than one a day day isnt it. I cant believe how productive you are with your time off. I must get some of your motivation from you in a bottle.

Thank you. The park crawl is so simple (and cheap!) and the kids loved the novelty of it.NeverendingDMP said:Hope you have a good day and swimming lessons go well. Loved the park crawl idea.

I'm motivated at the moment, but will probably crash soon. My leg is painful again, so it's slowing me down and annoying that I can't get on my hands and knees! However, I will happily take it while it's there

Today hasn't gone exactly as planned, after the swimming lessons we did the tip run and also took another 4 bags to charity. So that's a load more gone now. I've sorted through the books I will be taking to nursery, but haven't done the clothes yet.
While we were out we bought a new toilet seat. After our previous one, I refused to buy online, and wanted one that I could see first. Who would think that sitting on a non-wobbly seat would feel like such a luxury Small things!
DH has been going through his ebay listings. He's pulled a load off and will adjust some to hopefully improve the sales. Whilst he'd moved the stack of boxes, it demonstrated just how much bigger and lighter the room could be. Fingers crossed we get to that stage sometime."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".

I've dropped off 3 big bags of toys and books to nursery this morning. Hopefully they will want them. I told them to give us anything back they don't want and we'll drop it off to charity.
It's chucking it down here at the moment, and little jwil doesn't want to do anything so I shall crack on again today "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". Eoin McGee3 -

It absolutely hammered it down this morning, but it's sunny here now. Hope it's brightened up for you too.beanielou said:Chucking it down here too.
I've sorted through all the kids clothes now. 111 items to go to the charity bank! Where does it all come from? Also I have a bag to go to nursery and a couple of jumpers and PE shorts to go to school. I'm quite shocked at how much there was. Some of it's stuff I've replaced and haven't got rid of and some was old school uniform, but it's still a lot. I'm hoping now that little miss will be at school, she'll need fewer clothes as well. Their drawers are all tidy and nicely folded a la Marie Kondo too, so a very satisfying morning "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".
