    The selling saga goes on!! A buyer says their item hasn’t been received despite tracking saying delivered. So all my money is on hold until they figure it out. The buyer then says they’re off with Covid so wouldn’t know if it was received or not 🤦🏼‍♀️.

    The selling site have proof of delivery now however, I’ve got to wait as the buyer hadn’t closed the case. So I’ve got £45 sat there doing nothing until the end of next week.

    Yes, thankfully I did for that item. I don’t always!

    yes, he’s been helping me out a lot. I’ve been helping him sell items though for which he is also grateful!

    This month is already turning out to be costly!

    DD has asked for more lessons that cost £166! I know it’s a huge amount however, I want her to experience things so I’ve been putting money away for it and block booked her in. It works out £5 a week cheaper if you pay upfront so absolutely worth doing. 

    My summer job starts in a few weeks. It’s a long trip so money will be needed upfront for fuel and food. I get it all back eventually, it’s just the upfront costs.

    Here goes the money making! £300 target by payday.

    Is this something new dd is doing ? 

    It is good for kids to try and experience different activities.  Good luck with your sales x

    No, she’s been doing it around a month. It’s just cheaper to block pay though but that takes its toll on finances.
    Another £3 sold yesterday. It all just adds up.

    Morning, At least your know she’s enjoying it so so well worth paying a block booking if you have the finances. 

    It was a lovely bright morning when I woke up but it’s pouring now. 
    What’s your plans for today x

    It’s jobs day today. I’ve just been sorting loads out.

    I’m also puppy sitting for my parents. I’d forgotten all about it until last night. 

    DD is out with her dad this afternoon as well. 

    Busy doing the every week things that need keeping on top of.

    I’ve got £56.80 in funds waiting until it processes that the other item was delivered.

    £10 achieved in my normal account today. £30 went into my business account so £40 actually earned. Starting the week positively. Nothing else with any sign of selling but the £56 will be two days worth when it finally comes in! 

    Lots of little items between £3-£5 have sold. 

    Let’s hope I can keep this up!

    Today has been bleurgh.
    still no progress on the selling funds being released despite the fact it now says ‘delivered’ 

    Tried to get my prescription to be told it’s out of stock/shortage of supply so they’ll get me a new one that’s the same but different name.

    Got antibiotics for my UTI again except they’ve prescribed the ones I am allergic too, despite it being all over my notes and I wrote it on the form. Visit the dr to find that I need to take in a new sample again! 😤. It’s exams first day tomorrow and I’m invigilating so can’t be late at all. 

    I’ve got a job for September but absolutely wish I didn’t. I could happily walk away from it all with the way I feel. 

    In gratitude though, I got my £20 voucher and decided to treat myself just for one month. That’ll replace the £50 I said. I bought some bath salts, chocolate, sweets, a cup and a bottle of wine for when I can have a nice glass. I also got some gluten free items as they are so expensive and I don’t often get them in. It was nice to have something for me. 

    Got another £10 voucher coming in as well. Just from surveys etc. 

    Post office run done. 4 items posted.
