Hi All
Not sure if this has already been done before as couldn't immediately see anything 🧐.
My plan until the end of June it to list something for sale each day (except the days when I am camping). It will be through Facebook marketplace as I don't have eBay anymore as I spent too much on there! Hoping to make a few quid to put towards the debt as well as some much needed decluttering round the house! Todays item it a joe wicks cook book
