We never light candles either. I don’t like 99% of home fragrances and we’ve got a fire.

Yes, after her little spa day. Poor love, she works so hard so she deserves a treat.Oh you can stop your panic guys she’ll be back with some FrEyeday stories soon
i think she was grafting for free glasses. After all her Friday nonsense she was gifted a few pairs. Tsk
And now she’s back on the glasses trying blot get back on the most useless bandwagon ever
Do they keep on painting the same rooms over and over again?
Are they even grown ups? Their parents buy the house, pay for their kid’s private education, help with ‘business’ and also take the kids away for weekends.
I honestly can’t relate to any of her content despite being the same age and living in the same area with two kids of the same age. She is so unbelievably privileged. Whatever’s next?

Did ‘paint bin storage’ really need to be written on a list, when that’s the only thing on the to do list! Ok so that’s a mad 1 hour job, or will she be painting it with a fine art brush and take 6 months like the bloody fence!?
Why on earth would you paint your bin storage when the front of the house should be prioritised first
Sell some bits and bobs and you'll be able to fund a holiday? Seriously? This false narrative has really pissed me off this morning.
Exactly! So disingenuous - and don’t get me started on the toes hanging over the edge of the sandals. Why are all her shoes too small?!
The thing is.. selling stuff requires a big investment of time. I have tonnes of kids stuff - good brands and great quality - but listing them, dealing with enquiries and then posting them takes time which I don’t have. She on the other hand clearly has insane amount of free time on her hands by shipping the kids to her parents for the whole weekend.
Bit in bold for thread title
it just sums her up really!It will be in her mind because she doesn’t either pay or pay full price for anything so a holiday probably costs her the price of a couple of bags of crisps and a croissant
I see she has mentioned the girl on the glasses crusade in her Friday roundup…after I mentioned it here! Hiya Alex
giving you the free content thereShe’s also grifting for more free specs….please leave those hideous things on the shelf where they belong Alex
1st try of vegan chocolate?! Doesn’t she realise most dark chocolate is vegan
she’s grinding my gears today….so much to catch up on

Yes to this. I generally give it to charity but thought last month I’d give a go to vinterd.
Time spent: a lot and in total I must have got 20 quid for quite a few items (leggings bundled, 2 kids coats, 3 boys jeans).
The prices have to be so low in order to sell that you really make such a little profit.
Not to mentioned that there are a lot of ppl that can scam by saying the package was damaged and the item too.
I am not sure I’ll do it again so my double extension will have to wait
Yeah it’s the scammers that worry me the most. What happens if it’s ‘lost’ or ‘damaged’? Do you lose all the money?Yes to this. I generally give it to charity but thought last month I’d give a go to vinterd.

Basically yes. They usually err on the side of the buyer. You can try to arrange a return if it’s damaged but have to decide if it’s worth the hassle. You’d need to literally take detailed photos of every item just in case. People also want stuff for pennies. It’s the modern day equivalent of a car boot sale
I’m the same. I’d rather a charity gets a donation that having all the hassle for 50p
This is my experience. Selling old stuff online is so pain in the ass, unless is a high ticket item. You get enquiries, and when you finally agreed on a sale, people failed to turn up.
To be fair to Alex, pre-kid I used to regularly sell old clothes etc on eBay and let the money accumulate in my PayPal account but it does take dedication - my rule would be 10 items going up every week and after about three months, I would have enough for a decent contribution towards a holiday but it’s a lot of work and I can’t imagine her putting that in these days.
These days, I definitely do not have the energy. Our local charity shops do very well out of me!
