@ruby_eskimo - I'd love to hear updates on how it's going with vinted, I've a pile of things that are too nice to give away, but truly are no longer in my regular rotation of favorites!

It's a bit hit and miss to be honest.  Some people really are very cheeky in the offers they send (I mean a £20 offer for a bag that's quite collectable, listed at £50 and was brand new and RRP was £75!).  Personally I've found that you need to practically jump on people when they favourite something otherwise they lose interest and won't actually offer or buy.  I'm making it seem a lot more stressful than it is, most of the time it's perfectly fine!

Congrats on the promotions. How is the kitchen coming along? Or is it finished now?

Hope the building works are all done now Ruby and you're enjoying the new spaces

Thanks @Sarahwithlove and @debtfreewannabe321.  Kitchen is mostly done apart from a few little bits of coving and skirting that need putting back and some paint touch ups.  Most recent project is the hallway and landing and we had the plumber here yesterday trying to fix the hallway radiator which hasn't worked since we moved in.  The irony of having the heating sorted on the hottest day of the year isn't lost on me!  But it's all sorted now so the next thing is for the team to come back and box in the pipework and then replace the dado rail and then we can start painting.  It will make a huge difference to the house by having it all painted, and another step closer to having a house that's more "us".

It's been quite funny because DH's sister is looking to buy her first house at the moment and is rinsing us for all our tips and advice when it comes to house purchasing and renovation 🤣

First of the month and the money shuffle has been completed.  This month is looking like quite a busy one but will be trying to keep the expenses down as much as possible where we can.  I'm not designed for all this socialising!

Oh and those keeping up with the saga of my dad's health - he has a new surgery date for 4 days before I'm due to go on holiday in September 🤦‍♀️  Very much hoping he gets moved to an earlier date or they end up doing the very minor version of what they planned and he's home after 1 night 🤞🤞🤞🤞
