    One item sold already but not paid yet. Should be around £17 when it comes in after fees have been paid. 

    Had to get DD some shoes yesterday. Her feet have grown and she’s got no shoes for school. £32 spent so need to ideally recoup that too. 

    I’ve found some other bits that I might try to sell tonight. I might wait until a selling offer is on again though. 

    Cleaned the house downstairs today. Washing, ironing and then cleaning up. Lots of little things that needed doing really. 

    One of DD’s clubs has changed times and I can’t make the new times so I’ve had to cancel it. £32 a month saving however, I’d rather her have her clubs. Nothing I can do though as nobody can get her there for it. 

    Work tomorrow. Will see how that is. Pay day is in 11 days. That’s £200 to make by then. Long hard slog but I’m sure I can do it. I need to make back that car service.

    I don’t know what is wrong with me tonight but the loan is really getting to me. I’ve not overpaid for a few months saving to ensure I’ve got a few months wages and it’s really bothering me it’s not making progress. 
    Sure I’ll get through it though! It’s going down just not at the rate I want it to.

    I’ve got over the loan! For now anyway.

    Worked out I need to earn £25 a day. 
    Today £32 came in
    Tomorrow £17 confirmed to come in possibly more. 

    All from sales. Just scanning my drawers and finding things that I don’t use. I’m not talking named or branded things in every case just lots of little things. I know sometimes people might think I’ve got lots but a set of Children’s books sold for £5. DD outgrew them so put them on.

    Well done on your sales.  It’s amazing how much unwanted stuff we have in our house that we just keep for the sake of it.
