    Today’s Payment - £3 (from Vinted). New Total - £100.06.

    Need to get cracking with Vinted and Prolific next week. Been a bit slack due to the heat. Setting myself the challenge of getting £50 Vinted and £50 Prolific by Friday so it’s enough to clear this card (obviously won’t actually have all the money as it takes time to come through, but at least it’ll be on the way)

    Evening - watching the tennis, rooting for Zverev.

    Today's Payment - £1 (from Vinted). New Total - £99.06

    I'm going to put my targets for this week (Monday-Friday) on here so I hold myself accountable. Need to ignore the heat and crack on, as I don't think it's getting any better.

    eBay - £500 (£100 a day - that's in payments, which include postage etc, so that won't be all profit, and clearly I need to pay tax etc).

    Vinted - £100 (£20 a day, doable I think if I list 10 items a day)

    Prolific - £50 (£10 a day - I've done this before, so it's possible).

    That's disgraceful Emz. Hope you hear from them tomorrow with an apology as well. x

    Thank you. Still haven’t heard anything. I even tried to call them whilst I was waiting, just got a very rude operator and the phone just rang in the clinic and eventually the line went dead. Gave up in the end. I know they’re busy, but you can’t just keep patients waiting with no explanation and then act rudely towards them when they call to ask what’s going on. I shall be bringing it up with my CF team. xx
