Time to get my house in order!

Sorry to hear about the redundancies TnT but sounds like you're definitely making the best of the situation! 🙂

Thanks Jessy! Yes I am trying to grab the positives from the situation we have found ourselves in ...
Todays plans... 
spinning class this morning, I’ve signed up for 5 classes this week, I need to tackle my weight gain once and for all, my weight fluctuates year on year and I have clothes in my wardrobe that range from 8 - 16. I am currently in the 16’s and seeing the clothes that I can no longer fit into is depressing so I am digging deep this week and going to try and get back into some good habits.
i have a few bits to list on eBay and a few sales to wrap ready for the post Office tomorrow. 

Today should be a NSD.
Going to use my new planner to set some goals for the following week, a bit of a task list as I have loads of little things that need doing but keep putting off, will need to work out my ‘wages’ for November as well ready for paying myself on Friday. eBay sales are loitering around the £200ish mark and I keep getting screened out of surveys so I’m sitting at just below £15. Tilly tidies are just under £20. I think I should get to £300 by Friday for my overpayment and for my 1st month I think that’s pretty good considering I don’t have any income, will reassess on Friday ready for November, hopefully things will pick up a bit on eBay ready for Christmas.

Get those size 16 clothes listed on ebay, no going back for the weight loss then 😀!

Lots of positives there and being able to OP by £300 is just, wow!
Looks like you should have a good start to November.

Done and ✅ I have edited my wardrobe down to the bare minimum now for what I will need to get me through until spring. I’ve pretty much listed ever I can now that belongs to me clothes wise now and I’m waiting on some donations from OH of things that he no longer wears or wants. I am aiming to get my listings up to 80 by the 1st November currently I’m at 67 and then I’d like to get myself to over 100 and maintain that throughout Dec. I will turn my sights onto homewears/electrical/ soft furnishings that we no longer want and get OH up in the loft at the weekend to check out what’s up there.

I really hope so... even though I’ve been selling on eBay for over 10 years I have always had a love/hate relationship with it, going all guns blazing for a few weeks and then getting completely fed up with the hassle alongside a full time job and other commitments. Now I’ve got the luxury of some time I can really dedicate some real time to it, at the moment I’m probably averaging less than 8 full hours a week on listing/Packing/posting so the return I will see for October is more than worth it, I plan to really go for it in November and get my listings up as a lot of the time things will take a few weeks to sell so I’m kind of working a month in advance.... well that turned into a waffle 🤣

So I didn’t sleep very well at all last night, was awake from 4am and just couldn’t drift off again, gave up around 730am and made myself a cup of tea while battling my temptation to cancel my spin class at 930am, the wind and rain where battering the windows and I just thought to myself oh S&d it, if I can’t cry off and take advantage of a duvet day now I’m unemployed then when can I? So here I am just sitting on my couch with a lovely cuppa watching this morning and right now I am very happy 😃

Are you planning on doing e-buy-gum full time as well?
Does sound like it could be profitable for you.

Can't put a price on happiness!
Your bay routine and time allocated sounds good, break in gently and build up to allow natural expansion 🤗
