Walking into another chapter ...

Another £32 of cards sold but won't add them until Monday when they're posted.

Well, I've now got £52 of sales to come in next week, its really nice mentally to have finally listed all my stock and seeing lots of it selling. The money was spent on it a long time ago so it is nice to recoup it as well as clearing quite a bit of space. This decluttering lark is good for you!

Currently the summer holiday fund sits at £610. I have £200 to come from the bank account switch, £100 from work towards my glasses, £52 from card sales next week, £20 I'm chasing a refund from the post office for a lost parcel. Once these are all in the fund will sit at £982. This would mean I need to find £251 to meet my summer challenge. This seems bonkers, when I set the challenge I didn't actually think I'd get anywhere near it but it was something to aim for. I will be so chuffed if I get there, and having already decided to spend it on the garden means I will see where it's gone each time I look outside, and again is good for my mental health - the garden has been getting me down for a while, it's a mess and needs doing. Feeling good today

Sales are still coming in for the cards, I can't add them until they're posted and paid for but it's looking healthy and has cleared tonnes of space for me Assuming they all pay up with no hiccups it should be £205!! This would mean I only need to find another £98! OMG!! I had no idea I had so much stock of my cards, feels so good to clear it out!

£2.50 profit from a matched bet

An hour done in the front garden - garden waste bin is now two-thirds full and my back aches, but some progress has been made

Your summer holiday fund is doing brilliantly and it's a old idea to spend it on the garden.  

I enjoyed the man, his wife and the canoe too.  Landscapers with Olivia Coleman is another good series - a true story that would be utterly unbelievable if it wasn't actually true.

Ooh I haven't heard of that one but I do like Olivia Coleman so will search that one out, thank you
