    Fiscal Fast - Part 2 - Day 31

    Wow - a full calendar month has gone by - that's incredible :eek:

    Today has been a very LSD - a spend of £2.99 at The Range on a diary for DH and a Christmas pressie for the lady I work for

    I did spend £20 on Facebook Marketplace for a collection to be sold on ebay but I will be making money back...so does that count?

    Despite The Range having an AMAZING amount of stationery, I was well behaved for once! :rotfl:

    Fiscal Fast - Part 2 - Day 32

    Rain didn't stop play today but it definitely dampened it when it came to the car boot sale. There was probably only about a tenth of the usual number of stalls but we still managed to pick up some items for re-sale along with some gorgeous fresh veg which was picked the day before.

    I did completely fail in NOT buying stationery as there was some gorgeous writing paper for a £1 and 2 fabulous boxes of pencils for a £1 each.

    Did I need them - er no :o

    Did I WANT them....of course :rotfl: and

    I've used the pencils already :D

    Thanks JackieO for your encouragement. I had a severe wobble this week, not on the saving front but on the generating more money on ebay front. It has been awfully quiet, sales wise.

    However I saw my DD1 (who is getting married in the US) very briefly yesterday and it has REALLY fired me up to get my head down and keep on listing. It can be soul less listing but I am more determined than ever to succeed :D

    I just suppose I hit a brick wall :wall:

    Thank you SO much for your support Squirrelgirl (great name btw) - it means an awful lot.

    Having the support of MSEers means that I have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams with my DS1 wedding and now I need to focus and have the confidence that I can do the same with DD1 wedding :dance:

    Fiscal Fast - Part 2 - Day 34

    Following a quiet day at home we set off to Hayle to walk our pupsters and pick up our DD3 from her college bus.

    We quickly nipped into Bookers as well as ASDA but the spend was a LSD :D
