I think it just means package it. Fingers crossed you sell them. I've found the listing process on the app so simple and quick.

Glad to hear that GS is on the mend - so alarming when they are poorly when small, but so often they also bounce back surprisingly fast, don't they!

Sorry I've not updated lately, been busy and getting online seems to take 2nd place. Had a few things to sort out, but hopefully after next week, when we have a few days away in the countryside, I will get back to normal. Still doing all the challenges though and trying to be money savvy and get these debts down and savings up, but its all taking a while. But got plans in place to hopefully get it all going a bit quicker from the summer, when we will have a bit more money coming in.
I'm sure it would help if I updated more often, but I never seem to get the time, especially as I'm actually trying to spend less time online.
Surveys still going ok, but this seems to be a slower month so far. My attempt at selling on Vinted didn't work, so think I'll stick to FBMP if I want to sell anything.
Hoping the weather starts to improve as I have so much to do in the garden.
Anyway, hope everybody is doing ok and I'll try to update more regularly and be more MSE....and try and find more interesting things to say.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Nice to see you. I always intend to post more often and sometimes I write the post in my head but never write it in my diary.3

I found vinted not great to navigate when I was looking for potential purchases. I also found out that I can't "get rid" of it either. Also no where to remove your email either.
