    Hi Willow, I've used a couple of those foot peeling masks, one bargain one and one slightly more expensive one. I found the expensive one worked faster but it did still take up to a week. The bargain one took weeks to work and when it finally did I was due my DD so was in hospital with manky peeling feet. 🤢 😂 I still hope the midwives didn't notice, I'm sure they had other things to concentrate on at the time but I still think omg my feet were a mess, I hope they didn't notice. 😂 
    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.

  • Morning, 

    I don't know what is wrong with me today. I am tired and just not feeling myself. I have put the heating on as I feel cold. I have been shopping and the post office to post one of my dad's sales this morning. DD asked my cousin if she could go to his club this week so is going there. It keeps her active and she seems to love it when she goes. 

    Yesterday I did the washing, cleaned out the rabbits and then we spent the day lounging around. I did drop some things off for my sister. I do need to hoover up today and clean the kitchen floor with the mop so that will be done. I also have some clothes to put away. I listed one item on ebay over the weekend and my sales have pretty much stopped. I do need a big sale to rescue me this month though. I have indulged with DD. I don't mind when I can see we have done things with it. I think that is important. 

    Tomorrow I am meeting a friend for coffee. I was hoping to get out on my bike this week, but the weather isn't too great to be honest and the way I am feeling isn't so good for being out on the bike. 

    The rabbits are all nice and cleaned out and fresh. That won't last long though! 

    I might list the DVDs on the selling site though. We don't watch them anymore and might as well get rid of them. We have disney plus and netflix now. I know I won't get much for them but it is the space of them that will be the biggest gain. I will also try to motivate myself to go into the loft, I know I have some of DD's old items that can be sold. It isn't like I will be having any more children. I have saved some things to pass down to DD for if she has her own children.

    Loft trip didn’t happen, but I did list the DVDs and then moved things around. They’ve gone to the spare room in the selling pile. 

    I’ve hoovered, cleaned up and moved some of the garden furniture round to make it look like there’s more space. I’ve tidied upstairs, the living room and cleaned the floors. Rearranged some of the things where the old DVDs were to make it look less cluttered. 

    Also cleaned out the en-suite as it was getting dusty. Both DD and I are now showered with hair washed and settled in for the evening. 

    I do need to do the ironing as there’s a top I’d like to wear tomorrow in there. I’ll need to put a wash on tonight as the basket is filling up from the weekend. 

    Still lots to do and get sorted this week. X

    Yes, thank you. Think it’s the change in seasons. I get like this as we switch from summer to colder and damper weather x

    Individually they don’t take up much room but collectively they do. I think I’ve got about 40 listed together. I’ve kept about 15 that I use for work or for DD and I.
