Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler Little by Little, the bird learn to fly What went well this week? I sold 9 items. I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab. I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month. I tried to put a card in all my parcels. What are you thinking to improve? I am thinking to improve the message on the card At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated''  Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.'' For the drawing, I make little ...

Fashionably Compassionate Romantic - Fight against the elements and fracking

2pm - Leicester City Centre - Highcross - Saturday - It is a bit windy - I am wearing a hat, a coat, a scarve, a jean and some proper shoes.

Cash in Cash out

The analysis of my bank statement made me see how much I am taking out from the bank in cash but did not tell me exactly on what I was spending all of it in. So with my lovely spreadsheet, I have tracked over a month period, how much I was spending in cash and on what. Good News Or Bad News?  £363.59. It is approximately 25% of what I receive per month more or less.  No surprise I was not surprised with the money I spent on outings because it was all planned for and I actually spent less than expected. Food was almost the budget I planned for the month £50. Cash for my personal development was also planned for which is good... However It could have been a lot less... If only I - did not have lost my bus pass £60 BOOM - used other buses than the one I purchased my pass from because I missed the last one >> £7.1 - did not have bought too many take away, chocolate bar and pastry > £30 It would have been about 265.9 For the lost bus pass, tough I guess... but the war agai...
