Well today is turning out to be a good day! A guy has only gone and bought the old seats out of the van! 😱 For the grand price of (paying me) 99p, he not only took them away, but he genuinely seemed pleased with his purchase despite the rust and mold! 🤣 Honestly I had meant to take the listing down because I deemed them way too far gone to be any use to anyone but it seems the idea that one persons trash is another persons treasure is absolutely spot on.
I am sure the neighbours will be pleased too as they were a right eyesore sitting in the front garden. 😬End ofSep-25Oct-25Brother 7,800.00 7,650.00 Overdraft owed 0.00 0.00 MBNA CC 11,481.53 11,504.06 Barclaycard CC 9,662.17 9,558.10 Fluid CC 1,046.44 1,036.29 NatWest CC 11,705.36 11,693.03 Aqua 1,127.94 1,107.94

Every little helps. Now you don't have to pay to dispose of them as well.
Keep listing things when you can.

Yesterday was payday. I was expecting it to get a normal month’s pay plus all my accrued annual leave and it would have been enough to buy my most essential equipment to start setting up my side hustle. Sadly, I did not get the accrued annual leave so that will have to wait until next month. ☹️ I’ve checked with HR and it turns out someone hasn’t ticked a box somewhere to trigger the process so I should still get the cash, just not yet. I swear, my leaving had been a complete admin disaster. That’s what happens when so many staff all leave at once. The people trying to run the place are all new so they don’t know what they are doing yet, and those trying to do the work on the ground are run off their feet.
Fingers crossed my next place of work is in slightly better shape. 🤞End ofSep-25Oct-25Brother 7,800.00 7,650.00 Overdraft owed 0.00 0.00 MBNA CC 11,481.53 11,504.06 Barclaycard CC 9,662.17 9,558.10 Fluid CC 1,046.44 1,036.29 NatWest CC 11,705.36 11,693.03 Aqua 1,127.94 1,107.94
