    Not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed! Thanks for pointing that out.

    Good luck with your hour! I will join you if I am free tomorrow as I need to put a few things on Vinted and ebay and I've never sold on Vinted before only bought so I keep putting it off too.

    I dived headlong into the wardrobe and took out all the things with the hangers round the wrong way. When we moved back from the rental house last October I put everything the wrong way so I know I haven't worn it in 9 months. Quite a lot were easy decisions but I have put a number of items back in the wardrobe to try on and think about on another day. Only about a third of the pile. I will tot up the other stuff as it leaves for the charity shop or gets put on Vinted.

    @PennysIntoPounds  I'm working Thursday and Friday so it might be a bit unpredictable/unreliable but I should be able to do 11 til 12 Thursday or 1 til 2 on Friday? (as long as work don't call me into a meeting but if they do it will be online)
    you're more than welcome to join us @Wanna_Bee_Free, the more the merrier (and the less able I'll be to drop out).

    Banging headache here after a 4am wake-up (I knew it would happen after the PC Finance sub-committee meeting that went on until 8pm last night - sigh ...) but I have at least started the latest Pension Nomination forms ...
    I guess that means I am now in the pension! :)

    Set up the new vertical laptop stand in the office for our laptops (had to open up one side a bit to hold Mr K’s as it’s a bit wider than typical). It works well and will mean we (actually I! 😉) have more space for doing crafting things on the ‘desk’ 😊👏

    I guess I'd best go prep an area for vinted stuff then. I reckon I'll try to confine my dads stuff to the living room and attic, and put vinted stuff in the spare bedroom for an attempt at being organised. I'd like to know what's been listed, what's for listing, and maybe stuff that didn't sell after a few weeks and can go to the charity clothing bin.
    I need to find somewhere with decent lighting for photos too.
