    That sounds sensible Willow, depriving yourself will just lead to a big blowout at some point. Better to factor things in that make you happy. 
    Thanks Sashy. £39 in today.
    one sale, still waiting on payment for two items now.

    £33 in today. None payment on £40 item so far which is frustrating. Don’t bid if you don’t want it. 

    No other items with bids so will see.

    Yeh, you wouldn’t go into a shop and say can you hold onto this for me until I get paid. Very frustrating 😤.

    I actually wouldn’t mind if they’d messaged and explained a reason but they’re not responding at all. 
    So frustrating! Xxx

    Oh Willow that’s so irritating. I have £14 stuck in pending for some nappies I sold. I know through tracking that they were delivered 11 days ago but the buyer hasn’t confirmed receiving them. 😡 The auto confirm doesn’t kick in until the end of the month.
    Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Car loan 1 £11,174, Car loan 2 £5,532, CC 0% BT £780. Debt Free Diary to try & keep spending in check.

    They didn’t pay so item listed again and I’ve had an offer so accepted it. Now just sat waiting for payment again!

    Payday today and it’s a heavy save month
    until I reach my goal. Currently at 50%. Voucher earned but not received yet. That’s £30 due to me.
    £150 not arrived yet. 

    Got 25 items for sale. Some will sell others are niche so not sure. 

    My friend has restored my faith that there are decent men out there willing to help. He knows how much I budget and do every month to keep the money coming in and has helped. Not giving me money as he knows I’d never accept it but he knows people who wanted things I’ve been selling so just brokering it really. He’s a good guy.

    Thanks Sun.

    For so much of my life I’ve heard ‘I was going to but….. It’s so different that he just helps without saying anything.

    I’ve set myself the target of £25 per day for the next week. That sounds tough. However, I’ve got lots of sales and a little bit of tuition due in. 

    I know my sales aren’t going to last as I don’t have unlimited items, but I’m giving it a go for now. 

    I need an extra £300 by pay day
