Found about another dozen items for V1nted today - listed 5 before giving up and 3 of those have sold 😊 Rediced some other items - if I'm ltimately going to give them charity if they don't sell, some money os better than no money!
Am in work for a few hours tomorrow and have written myself a list of OATS and non Oats for when I'm home
Tidy and inventory kitchen freezer (ignore 2 more in garage)
Bake rolls
Deal with the many, many picked plums
Deal with the picked apples
Make pink pickled onions?
List more items on v1nted
I think I'm being a bit optimistic about what I can achieve tomorrow (on top of usual washing/ ironing etc) but we shall see 😊I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £205 -

Well done on the Vinted listings and good luck with your produce greent. Well done on picking up your paint brush again rachmac3
Today's OAT is listing at least one more thing on ebay. I've unpacked a storeage box yesterday and another this morning. Now to remember which cupboard it all came out of earlier in the year!3 -
I haven't been able to log in to work all morning so I did a little tip run. Not a huge amount but at least 2 of the things had been hanging around taking up space for months. My good luck with timings continued, they had shut the gates briefly before I got there (for a break or to move skips) and loads of cars had given up and left the queue. When they opened I was about the 8th car in.
It was cloudy enough that I could take the dogs in the car too. Just to have some sniffs from the open window.
This weekend I have to tackle one of the big things, probably sorting through some of my Dads stuff as that's stopping me from opening my living room windows because it's in the way (it's all over the house, so stopping lots of things really).Debts 04/01/25 01/09/25

Did a long outstanding OAT this afternoon:
Completely stripped and deep cleaned the windowsill and internal window behind the sink in the kitchen, collecting seeds from heads I’d been drying there, wrestling MANY cobwebs and giving the radio that lives there a good scrub!
- Reattached the ends of the curtains on the small window in my bedroom (that’s another job that’s been outstanding for a very long time!).
- Removed and recycled dead magazines from my bedroom
- Cleaned the window and the big mirror in my bedroom
Pleased with that lot! 😊
