    Thanks both. Still owed a lot and had to put in the £100 from savings to cover it but I’ve got Hope I’ll get that right down before payday. Might not clear it all, but I’ll give it a good go.

    Had a busy jobs day.

    DD had a lesson this morning. She’s got 3 this week, then bank, Lunch, tidying spare room, listing items for sale, then cleaned out conservatory a little, moved and sorted one drawer, packed up more items that have sold, post office run, now tea and DD has a club later. I did a quick kitchen clean too. 

    Actually feel like I’ve achieved something today. Managed to sell another few items at £12 but not in my account yet so not counted. Still at £338 but the opportunity for more coming in is there.

    Set myself a target to make £20 extra a day this week. Yesterday was done but nothing today yet. I’ve got money due in and bids on sale items I’m just not hopeful it’s arriving in the bank today! 

    I filled our waste bin yesterday from bits in the garage. It’s only emptied every three weeks but at least I’ve decluttered a fair bit. I’m targeting the garden next. Got so many bits that need chopping up to go out. 

    This holiday I need to get back into sorting and decluttering and keeping on top of my money. It’s helping my mental declutter too!

    You’re having a busy holiday. I love seeing an empty space being created. 
    I need to take some of your inspiration and start putting some items on eBay. Is it time consuming to list products ? 

    Has dd got any activities today or is she having a day of rest. 

    Be careful with your arm with any chopping in the garden x

    If you’re listing a few bits it can be. I usually set aside about an hour when I’ve found items and see what I can do. I have 21 items listed currently. 

    What’s a day of rest? 😂we have a lesson again this morning and tomorrow morning too. Thursday I’m working so Friday is our earliest ‘day off’

    It’s not chopping anything strenuous. More cutting the fabric off an old swing and disposing of the bits that can’t be recycled. I’ve got the bin round the back ready in case the rain stops. I prefer working when I’ve got momentum. 

    The conservatory still has the same items but tidied away it looks so much better. X

    Didn’t manage the £20 today. I’ve made it just not received it. I’m sure it will all come in together!! 
    So far this week -£20 short of my target.

    Morning, another day of trying to earn £20!
    I’m making some of the money it’s just not quite hitting my account yet and that is when I am counting it.

    I bet one day next week it all comes in at once! 

    DD’s lesson again this morning. At least a lot of her clubs are off again this week so that she has rest opportunity. Yesterday we left the house at 9.30am and got home at 5pm. She ended up playing out with someone so had a lovely day. 

    We made salt and pepper chicken last night too. She always helps me cook but is often reluctant to taste. Once she tried one and realised I hadn’t made them spicy she was eating loads. 

    Coffee time before we set off!
