This is just a quick post to update my Stash to Cash total. My sales on eBay have been small but steady, with a total of £44.23 to add to the pot. This brings it up to a satisfying £155.15 and I have the monthly craft fair next Saturday too. Is it too early to put Christmas stock on my stall do you think? I know many of you, like me, like to start preparations early (I already bought 2 small stocking fillers) Ooh, decisions...decisions.... :)
On the home front, G is still suffering with his neck problem although he has seen a consultant physiotherapist for an assessment at the hospital and is awaiting an appointment for more physio treatment. He is still on tablets but, at least, this means we are getting some sleep now albeit sometimes broken sleep. We would love to take the caravan off somewhere for a couple of nights before Winter sets in but simply can't at the moment until G's appointment comes through. I thought that last year was bad with G's 'toothy troubles' but this year has been even worse somehow.
It has been GS's and GD's bithdays within 5 weeks of each other so I was very glad of having my Stash to Cash money. I put money in their cards instead of buying a gift they didn't want or need, which they were really happy about. They both bought new clothes and/ or trainers so I feel it wasn't money wasted :) I will carry on with my challenge until the end of the year, only now it will go towards Christmas gifts. Oh, and I'll send something to my little GD in Australia. She will be 3 at the beginning of November and I usually send birthday & Christmas things in one parcel. She is in love with Peppa Pig and dinosaurs! Has anyone seen any Peppa Pig clothing at a reasonable price please? It needs to be as light as possible due to postage costs and with short sleeves because it's Spring in Oz. A bit of a task, I know.....
Well, considering this was to be a short post, I've rambled on a bit! I felt quite down when I woke up an hour ago but feel that I've been talking to friends and feel a lot more cheerful. Thanks for listening....
Stay safe everyone, wherever you are in the world and thanks so much for popping in x

Gosh, has it only been a week since Easter Sunday? It somehow feels much longer. A big thank you to those who left comments on my last coup...
Put your Christmas stock out, never miss an opportunity to make a sale. We give money to Grandchildren, they are always happy. Can't help you with Pepper pig, but look online for items in the summer sale.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a B&M Bargains near you they do a range of Peppa Pig clothing at quite reasonable prices.
ReplyDeleteYes....put your Christmas stock out. The Range were putting theirs out when I popped in yesterday and the garden centre had started their displays.
Hugs-x-
Put your Christmas stuff out.I have already bought some Xmas presents.Can we see your "stuff"?
ReplyDeleteI would most certainly put the Christmas stock out. The summer sales are on so you may get lucky with Peppa Pig.
