    Sold some items today and listed a whole load more. 

    £21 sold and due in next week (likely Friday/Monday) progress has been made! 

    Still at £361 from stuff coming into my account, just more things now due in. 🤞🏻

    Thanks Parky, all the little bits help. The sales also mean I’ve decluttered a book shelf completely. I am going to try and get rid of the book case completely by the summer holidays. It will mean decluttering a ton of areas -mostly going back through DD’s stuff and finding places for it. 

    That helps my mental health. 

    Unfortunately work is always going to be in my mind. I have a meeting when I go back. X

    I’ve managed to recoup a little bit back per month now. DD finished one club today as she’s progressed to the end and doesn’t want to take the next step. That’s a saving every month. I’m still not up to the amount with costs going up on most things, but it’s another help.

    We’ve agreed an activity once per month now instead of that club. Slowly trying to balance the books a bit more.

    This has become a bit of a game for me. Another item sold. Only found it today and listed it and it had offers on it. Around £13 after fees due in tomorrow or Tuesday. I’ll update the £361 as the money actually hits my account.

    Listed over 13 items this weekend. Hoping at least 5 sell

    Well done on the sales. You must have some decent stuff stashed away.

    Mostly just old stuff I don’t wear. Shoes and clothes do ok if they’ve got a brand. Even Tesco and next stuff sells well. 

    The item today was a Barbour hood. Not exactly exciting or mega. Just a hood. Got £12 for that plus postage as I’ve got stamps in. Minus the fees works out around £13. X

    When I used to eBay a lot I once sold a top from Sainsbury’s to someone in the Caribbean!

    It’s amazing what people buy. I’d never have thought I’d sell a hood!
