Twinklies mortgage journey 2.0

So, it’s been a busy few days.

Weds - DS2 back to school. DS1 and I had an appointment at his school. DH and I back to work.
Thursday - DS2s birthday (he had a great day).
Friday - DS1 went back to school. And I had mediation for a refusal to assess for DS1. They have agreed to assess now - so yay!

I sold something else on Vinted and listed another 5 pairs of PJs in 3 bundles. I had permission from myself to wait until Friday to list again. So I’m happy with the progress I’m making still. 😁

Saturday - listed 4 more items to sell.
Sunday - sold 3 items in a bundle. Yay.

I’ve been absolutely exhausted this weekend. And DS1 does NOT want to go back to school tomorrow. I don’t think anything has happened, I just think it’s a lot for him. I really wish I knew how to help him.

I’ve kept up with listing - yay me. I’ve just sold some more PJs that I listed yesterday in fact, so yay me. This week has been a year though, so haven’t listed quite as much as I would have liked.

DS2 has gone back to school brilliantly, it’s gone better than I could have hoped for. DS1 however has really REALLY struggled. I’m not sure what to do with him. He ended the week well though so I’m genuinely hoping for a better week (fingers crossed). We could really do with this EP assessment hurrying up.

I’m genuinely exhausted today. I feel like I was pulled in a million different directions last week and I just didn’t know whether I was coming or going. It didn’t help that work was much the same.

Still, it’s weekend now so I can relax. Oh no, wait. DH is away and I’m solo parenting and have a dog still to walk. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s fine. I’m talking the path of least resistance. It’ll all be fine.

Do I sound convincing? 🤣

Okay, I hate to say it but it’s actually been easier without DH. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ So much less cleaning to do.

thats what one of my relatives reckons too when her OH is working long hours - not so much mess in the house!

I’ve been a bit overwhelmed recently due to life events (it’s a bit too sensitive to discuss here and impacts others as well), so the wheels have fallen off everything. Then last week DH was poorly all week and now DS1 is.

I feel terrible for DS1. He missed Christmas with being too poorly, was poorly again earlier in the year and now he’s poorly again. He should have had a 3.5 day weekend due to inset at school. However, he’s been ill since he came home on Thursday, so I feel terrible for him.

I won £50 on premium bonds this month.

The Vinted sales have kept on keeping on. Although I haven’t actually listed anything this last week.

19 parcels have been sent in total.
42 individual items with those parcels.
£45.80 has actually cleared into my account in September.

I still have £9 to come. So I’m pretty happy with that to be honest.

Oh and I’ve booked a holiday for Easter. Yay!

Another crazy week but made a £200 OP to the mortgage. My plan is to also look into AVC's this weekend. I'm not paying into childcare vouchers anymore, so I'm thinking it might be a good plan to move that money into AVC's so I don't get use to having it.

I went to watch my friend as lead in a theatre show last night. She was phenomenal. It was so amazing to see.
