Well done.

We need to have a look around and see what we can sell again.

I enjoyed it last time.

It was all quite exciting

Pay day for me today so I have been on it and paid what's needed to be paid so I have a good idea of what's what for the rest of the month.  PAD today was £1570 to various places.

Today will not be a NSD as I am out for dinner with friends tonight, I've not seen them in ages so it will be a lovely chance to catch up. But I have no spending plans for the weekend so I should get a couple more in before the end of May. 

Finance update (after payments made today) 

• Cash  £10
• Car account £4607
• Bills account balance £1530.08
• Spends account £500
• EF £422.28 (also have money in the house account for house emergencies)
• Sealed pot £1873.19
• Debt free by xmas £7726.20 / £8000
• Gift cards £150

That's about it from me.  Hoping to list some more items on Vinted over the next few days, I need to pop out and post a couple of items today or tomorrow but the postage is paid for already so that's a bonus with Vinted. 

Happy Friday everyone - it looks to be a lovely sunny day

Today has been manic so I have not managed to list any more items, that's a job for tomorrow after vacuuming the garden - wind has been blowing leaves and blossom everywhere today. Off out tonight so it may not be a super early start haha!

Morning! It was a very late night last night, but I didn't actually spend that much money, very good value at £35 for a night out with friends. I had a lovely time too, although I may need a nap later as bed time was actually this morning which is not something I'm used to at my age

PAD's made this morning £91.08 to CC7 and sealed pot, including this month's 1p challenge total.  All credit scores are in the excellent range and I am fairly comfortable with what I have available this month.  Although we have booked festival tickets and they needed paying for yesterday so that was a chunk. When did festivals become so expensive? 

I have more bags to take photo's of and get them listed on Vinted. I also need to top up the bird feeder today, preferably before I vacuum the garden haha!

Hope you all have a lovely day

I've just finished adding my bags to Vinted, and whilst I have no doubt I will end up reducing or taking lower offers, if they all sell as listed I will be £725 better off.  If they DO all sell, I may have caught the selling bug! Vinted make it too easy to list things  

Keep your fingers crossed for me

Just popping over to say hello! ☺️

I joined vinted last month and its so much easier just printing the labels!!! I find you get loads of likes but things either sell really quickly or a few weeks later so worth keeping them up!

You have done fantastic on the numbers, its really motivating seeing the ‘after’ when things have started clearing. I’ll be following along ! X

Aww Hello @Throughmyfingers and thank you for popping by  I'm loving Vinted so far, the only thing I am nervous about is not sending things recorded when they are quite valuable. 

Sold another 2 bags this afternoon so that's really good.  And you're totally right, it's far easier to print the labels at home and drop off, I have a garage just round the corner that does Evri so that's a bonus.

It's not always sparklingly interesting, but I try to add updates every day for my own accountability and to track my progress

I think you can change the listings so you pay postage so you could have it a little more secure for the pricey items.

Im hoping noseying on here and whittering away myself will keep me distracted long enough not to spend anything 😂

Exactly this!! I have become a bit obsessed with the forum these days   Ooh a tip I have for you if you're an online shopper is to unsubscribe from all the marketing emails... it works a treat

Good morning, looks to be a nice day again today so I am going to pop the very last load of washing in and get it on the line. I'm off to see family this afternoon and have a few parcels to take to drop points on the way.

I've had my first 'payment' from Vinted as a bag arrived with the buyer yesterday so that's good, and I am pleased they were happy with it. 

Today's PAD was £3 to CC7 and it's set to be a NSD but I will leave declaring it on the NSD thread until later as you never know what may happen when I'm out and about. 

I've been able to colour in 6 more blocks on my colouring charts. I did go a bit crazy and print multiple for different savings pots but I like colouring  

I hope everyone has a good day - fingers crossed for bored Sunday Vinted browsing and some of the 'interested's turning into purchases!
