    Not sure if this is a daft observation but couldn’t you spray your trainers with a waterproof spray? I am not really an outdoorsy person 😂 so don’t know if this would work! X

    DH has prepped a load of listings so I'll try and get those on today.  He's also sold 5 items and 3 have paid so that's some stuff going - all good!

    I've opened up two new savings accounts this morning to develop some pots 'out of sight' of my main current account.  I'm hoping that I won't be so inclined to dip into them.  They are both a decent fixed rate as well, so that should be an incentive not to withdraw.

    DH has been a busy bee today decluttering, so that's great news!  Long may it continue.

    I've done 21 listings for him, and he's prepped a load of the kids stuff to which I will try and get on soon.  The 5 items have been paid for and posted.

    Hopefully we'll get some good sales as we have quite a stash of boxes built up from Christmas shopping and I'd like to see the back of them :D:D

    Great PADing and listing too - fingers crossed for lots of sales. 

    I love savings pots for some proper incentive to see the figures building up - and getting a reasonable interest rate on them is even better too.

    Thank you. I’m hoping that with a balanced budget I can actually leave them to grow properly and earn some interest! Its never happened before.
