Good morning SC right good morning so pissing it again looks really messy up um yeah prob wind WIP wind wipers wind screen wind screen wipers going out there and so bizarre traffic cu’s this this um it’s a busy road outside and traffic kees up out there it doesn’t bother me

At all like I like hearing their music and I like doesn’t bother me so weird but then I grew up on the main road so some people it’s probably their worst nightmare H good morning Ry morning crisy what you up to today so yeah this has been ConEd this morning I

Don’t think we’re looking any better like a comb I combed it I Bor con’s comb I was in the cup and I was like oh it’s com there I see she said just I don’t think it’s any better um morning Steph morning Carol good morning Sarah hello hello so so I just

Got the kettle on I seeum you can hear me I have got uh yes I did make shiz happen yesterday I’ve got two only two bits from my souring and I touched a lot of clothing yesterday a lot of clothing whales and you know it’s like tiring by

The end of it and that was only four shops um yeah cycled in got work oh prior to that I would do an insta post because my glasses on the dishwasher my friend um text to say did a want it down um Greenways which is like a sustainable

Charity um and it’s a bit like they do all sorts but there’s like a free cycle element where you can just take anything you like and then they do like a lending thing now where you can lend they lend out glasses for parties they lend out

Tools it’s it’s really good um and we got some bits and bubble calls from there including some really amazing wine glasses which they I’ll show you they are in the dishwasher but um i p up they’re like 70s uh beehive oh my God how fabulous are they of course probably somebody died

And the kids like I don’t want those so they just get dumped you know and they’re trying to save them from being chucked in landfill I mean oh they’re amazing so well Cho with those and also so we will be coming back on topic but you know what it’s

Like I’ve got two really dodgy kind of they look like 80s light fittings out in the hallway I really don’t like them so I picked this up on a whim as well it’s free so there’s no like you know bother if it doesn’t work out and I’d need

Another one but my friend was saying they get them down there quite regularly and this building obviously is Victorian God it’s roasting um so what do you think this I mean so my brothers are retired electricians they get put up of them but I would need to buy i’ need to sort

Out um I need to sort out lamp shades or Could It Go lump shade less Could It Go no could this it’s just a little bit stunning and it would work oh cuz they’re horrible out there what I’ve got in the hallway if I could get I could get cuz

There’s two quite close to each other but I could get another one and mismatch it and have these there’s a lot of is tall ceilings out there as well a big drop be a bit fabulous wouldn’t it so it’s like heavy brass pretty yeah so I might be doing

That let’s put some let’s let the water through the to bag where’s a cup um get some milk cola so yes um yes couple of bits to show you from saucing I’ll show you what’s going out not a lot just one item I believe um eBay is in a foul drop no sales

Yesterday from that and just one on minted I didn’t add anything yesterday to minted but I did just add two bits I picked up yesterday I’m after yeah so the reason for the title let me get this other thing so and I can show you I’m going show you

What’s going out in a minute and what picked up so the reason for the title as I was getting out the bath you know it’s like the the mind the cogs now I think about this a lot because I I I’ve I’ve said before you know that I’m very interested in things like

Simple living and minimalism although um turn off notifications yes that’s fine um but and people laugh because obviously also can steal the fre clutter behind me but um yeah look oh yeah you’re very minimalist sh yes okay um but actually Lounge looks a little bit can you really see the lounge

It’s quite minimalist at the moment um really doesn’t look very minimalist however I like there’s a lot of drawers to minm for me which is why I was thinking about reselling as well and life generally and you know do we over complicate things because and obviously it’s my

Personaly type some people they like to live in literally in clutter and with complicated lives and maybe it doesn’t affect affect them but I used to drive Tom wild that I would say things like oh my God this is getting under my skin and he’d be like oh you mental you know but

It would all the cutter literally get under my skin and I kind of feel it’s similar with reselling are we are we you know do we over complicate things so there’s a part of me yesterday was you know I was saying I’ve got to give vintage some love and why do we

Partly love Vinted because it’s so simple it’s so simple and what’s one of the things that pieces off by eBay at the moment it’s so complicated do you have to jump through so many Hoops it drains you mentally oh so I’ve done this so is that right for the algorithm is

This what do you think’s going on oh God I don’t know and then there’s the aspect of do we over complicate it because we’re just on so many platforms um you know so some people say don’t do that and some people say cross list everywhere because you you never

Know you’re going to get the sales but is that actually I know you can do things with cross listing software but actually just for mins is it oh I’ve had a sale on there oh now I need to check it’s not just just cross I I check that oh my god

Did I take off the other sites it’s not just oh cross listing you’re done you’ve got to keep checking those things you got to check for sales you got to take sales of other things I know that’s a good problem to have but mentally are we just overloading ourselves quite

Honestly um but then I am easily overload actually it’s bizarre I need variety but I’m such a balancing act but I also get overwhelmed really easily and just can’t cope um let me know your thoughts on this um Joel I’m going souring with a friend this afternoon she doesn’t resell

But had a small vintage shop about 30 years ago so she enjoys going oh lovely um and I guess she can help help you find stock as well um NE I see dead people’s stuff you faking well do plenty of it my fa I remember a few people over the

Years have said oh no I wouldn’t Sho in a charity shop you know what if somebody it could be somebody who’s dyed clothes and like yeah even better I hope even better if that is that there was probably some good quality stuff that they were hanging on to that’s

Like um Joel they are my favorite glasses yeah oh they’re Lush aren’t they I have been looking for something like that for ages but they’re always either they’re never the right size they’re always little or like there’s not enough of them but this is yeah beautiful timing

Um I have a set myself and sold to at the weekend oh lovely yeah there for me uh good morning Kim Neil I hate I live in clutter and hate it oh my God go on a get rid like do you know go on some challenges do the 365 a year you know

One thing a day or something because you’ll feel so much better um Neil yeah too much overthinking too much stuff for sale on eBay not everyone wants the shot we selling yeah and it’s that not being able to see the wood for the trees no the trees for the no the wood

For the trees I’ve got it right the first time um like when there’s clutter around you you can’t you stop sitting it as well you become blind to it CH to a friend your St about it and you end up not sit well like all the sh around here let’s turn around let’s

Turn around and it’s gone oh we’re going we’re going on a little trip nice and clean and minimalist um yeah you just become blind to it and like I was saying as well unless you take a step back like with reselling you could carry on doing the same thing or

Living in the same clutter or over well and not even realize and sometimes we need to take a step back this little Epiphany came to me as I was getting out of the bath um and also I yeah so I’ve been you know obviously talking it through with

You lot and thinking about it obviously constantly I’m like right now actually I need to get back to basics and my Basics before eBay come along with a free shop offer was vintage’s my best bud um and everything was to be honest fine with that and um what else was I

Tried some of the platforms but vinp was my best bud and you know also then Posh came along and I really enjoyed that I love live selling so I’m Going Back to Basics I am sourcing for I me to but I’m sourcing for Vinted um and I’m sourcing

For the live selling which I enjoy doing which is going to be I feel at the moment I will try and treat it as a hobby because and see if it is viable but I don’t think I would ever because I want to sell Sul Jo I

Want to sell some quality pieces and less of a stack and high selling cheap but it is a cheaper plat it is a bargain platform I but I want to I I want to like you know buying a load of crap from China or something like or that is potentially not even

Silver silver silver um it for me to enjoy it as part hobby I need to be handpicking pits I like selling to be honest and that that sounds a bit luxurious it is but I’m planning to get the main income from elsewhere so um but that is that

Plan morning Heather Heather are you you on um you’re not selling on whatnot yet are you are you planning to and how how are your sales and what do you think are we CU you similarly have seen all the changes over the years on eBay um yeah every every year gets more complicated

And it’s not good for our minds to be honest and I feel when I’m overloaded as well I make bad decisions because I’m not thinking clearly so I am going to concentrate on a Going Back to Basics showing some love to my minted sound of rude to Vinted

Um a little fun and whatnot on a Sunday morning yeah 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning I think I will stick with that for now as my slot for selling silver um for as long as I can get decent stock Steph life is so complicated and stressful reselling is meant to be simpler

Um well yeah and also why is life so complicated and stressful I think we do we start some stuff up because we’re bored and then it vs us it’s ridiculous sometimes I think that’s why you know sometimes we have to pay to go on Retreats from our lives which actually is ridiculous like

Just make I tell you what instead of going away for a retreat work out how you can simplify your life a bit more so you don’t have to go on a retreat from your life like it’s your life you choose it you you you know take some of the crap out of it

I know it’s it’s easier said than done but that’s what you know sometimes you just think and then why am I doing that that’s ridiculous yes I’ve caught one live good morning well um good morning sh Joe a lovely big plump heart um Neil that’s better what have you

Done been to the toilet sorry um Heather probably not doing whatnot but never say never yeah Never Say Never um oh yeah I mean I’m will say obviously that is adding adding adding another complication to selling but for me it’s a it’s so enjoyable it’s more like doing

It as a hobby so that’s kind of a different thing really um for me um good morning buying space Babs good morning did you get your sa s ah yes so finally got a refund from dear first they didn’t tell me I rang Scotland again and said right still haven’t had a

Call back from the branch and you know you tell me you can’t refund me I has to be the branch so I thought i’ just give him one more call before I go down there and I’m glad I did she said oh yes I can see on there um you’ve been refunded and

I was like what like can you tell me how much for I thought oh let’s check this I sent refund and told me it’s incredible but I was troughed a bit so off I went and I went to of all places British heart foundation and I bought two mini sofas two two

Seaters um they’re leather I will show you when they come or put some on Insta one’s like a tan color one’s mid Brown and one the tan one is like a sa for bed as well I was like well that could be useful and really I know they get them

Professionally cleaned but I opened the sof bed bit and it looked like it never been used it was so bright clean under there and then the other one is a mid Brown and it’s a Mars and Spencer Le sofa a little you know a little bit beaten up

In places but this second sofa I really don’t I’ll put some throws on it it’s been cleaned um yeah and so two two SE saers which I’m assuming won’t be any problems bringing in and that was yesterday being delivered today you just want you believe it the delivery charge so delivery charge for

DFS professionals that have their lores going all the time £1 one safer bhf as much as much fure as you like 20 quid so all in two leather sofas coming two two seaters being delivered £400 all in and obviously money is going to put sh foundation so can’t believe

It I’m so oh my God I’m so excited to sit on a sofa um oh my God I’m just looking at the bean bags now they were H been great but they’re not a long-term seating option for me and that and fact do you remember the video I

Said I’ve been talking not been talking when I was talking about the guy that I watched that went Furniture list and I and I still think about that sometimes when trying to get up off the rug or something and I’m groaning but because one of the takeaways from that

Was if you have to move around more you’re keeping yourself mobile so long term that’s really a really good thing for your bones and everything to be always moving about but it’s like I know a plant-based diet well I mean I don’t eat meat but I

Do eat um Dairy and also s I’m fish so I’m pesky but I know that being completely plant-based um will be way better for me I mean actually it would be way better for me not to eat I’m just looking at my um monst my uh Cookie Monster there caramel caramel

Eggs they’re like I mean there something I like in snack snack D it’s like with the donuts you know the uh the Biscoff one the uh crispy creams and they’re like you pick it up and it’s like a brick like yeah that’s the one I want I

Feel like that about the caramel you like the cream eggs when they all did different bit the caramel eggs you pick it up and you like there’s some weight to that get that goo inside and I know it’s awful awful where did this come from but so

Nice so not yes so so sorry that was the short answer Babs yes I did thank you very much for asking every cloud has a silver lining and money in your pocket yeah I was and and I’m not giving my money to DFS I’m so pleased I really didn’t want to do

That and Connie like said last night told you so and I said you you did you said go bhf and I was it was because I walked over to DFS and they had it in store as well and it was it was like a um Chesterfield style but vver in and

That’s really I’d love a Chesterfield but hasn’t happened this time I’m so pleased yeah um great news one less thing to worry about yes one you know one more complication off of my list um yeah I was like so I was thinking yesterday night was the sofas are coming

You know and I’ve got the you know the bikes St sorted the radiators are sorted I’ve uh fixed the door handle out there fix you know I’m like these jobs are getting ticked off and I like what’s left on my list you know part from sort my life out my

Reselling it’s hardly anything just lovely lovely um good morning Jan great result about s isn’t it I did a full I said I sit on these and she like yeah I mean and and then Q so I took my cuz I have my D girl took my coat off

Put my back my backpack down put them on the floor and then that that was me moving around sofas for the next hour I’m not sure about that about leaning H okay can I imagine myself about leaning back let me move that on every but oh my god um yeah the woman

Said yeah as long as you don’t fall asleep on one I said well I can’t guarantee that so um so yeah one is quite firm because it’s a s bed and one’s like like a squish mow so there’s options there um oh a vintage sale crispy where’s my little bell that I

Don’t have woo um come on eBay P pull your finger out keep up I see it I see it so much on Insta people going don’t know what’s going on with eBay but thank God for Vinted because otherwise I would’t have any sales um I I feel like it’s going down the pan

Unless it just evolves into something for bigger businesses but then surely you would just if it’s like a bigger business thing you just get it from Amazon I don’t I don’t really know where they’re heading there they’re just pushing resellers away in small businesses and that’s how they started was like more

Unique things secondhand unique things I don’t know what they’re trying to do now I really don’t yeah oh my God that’s so good good morning Antonette Babs my eBay is dead and I’ve been listing it’s probably got a cob on it’s probably in a mood Babs

Um it’s in a mood it’s like do you remember Mena from Mars woman of from Venus well it’s stretched off like an elastic band and hasn’t come back yet um FS bollocking bollocks got a negative swear it doesn’t Hur oh yeah have you tried to get it removed um

Reach out to the bio first and ask say oh so sorry you know whatever is can I help and uh I’m a small business would you consider revising because if you then go to eBay after that you can say I’ve tried reaching out to the buyers don’t think we can do because otherwise

They’ll say try reaching out to the buyer and then you have to do that and then go back to them um this shy J can’t seem to get the decent money from Ved so I’d say yeah no i’ all right because I’m thinking I’d say you get a little bit less but

Actually depends what area as well like I’m I’m not very successful with jewelry on there but with clothing you know there’s no fees so it is all right for me um also I do see people on Insta and I’m always amazed at the figures they get

For some of their stuff I’m like there’s no way I would have I feel like I couldn’t have got that so maybe sometimes it’s the confidence to have hold out and then I also have to remind me yeah they’re showing you the three amazing sales they

Had today but what about the 300 other bits they’ve got listed that haven’t sold so don’t it’s like that seeing a Slither of something try and bear in mind that you’re only seeing a snapshot um good morning RJ you’re right Babs no communication at the beginning

I’ve done all that but don’t think they will and not sure eBay will help my try definitely nothing to lose by trying um definitely worth trying um have they um yeah they have they violated any policies um because obviously then you can you can site something um not bad H how about you

Yeah I’m all right actually thanks um just uh just going to sort my life out today really simplify it up um just no biggies um no such luck they I bet they’re regular negative levers as well people don’t realize they’re ruining people’s lives leaving those negatives unfairly

Um right so I’m just going to show you so literally no sales on the bay yesterday I did oh so I’m started some prep for my whatnot show on Sunday at 10: um if you’re interested there is a link below for that free tenner thing but if you’re already on anyway go put

My my show if you’re interested in some silver I’ve I’ve loaded into the bite now the earrings that I’ve got you know the sterling silver hooks you know the ones just show you an example um you know like the uh sloths type things sing silver hooks I’ve loaded those into the bite now

AT3 a piece I think right so I don’t need to go through that if people want to buy them they just can and then um I’ll have I’m going to do Ringo Bingo loads of rings will people choose like10 sterling silver rings choose a ring that they’d like and then I am

Going to run I’ve got some really nice charm bracelets styling silver and I’m going to start them at Turner which is a bit mental um this is particularly mental and I love it cuff bangle sterling silver going start at a ten yeah probably mental and this oh my God I love this pendant

Look at this snake and some other bits and some other bits yeah so I’m prepping for that that’ll be enjoyable um so yeah I’ve only sold why don’t they just contact us I know cuz there are SS and uh miserable eers um oh I might I’m might to put you up

There now cuz I won’t be able to show you otherwise oh Lord yes only one s on minted and it was you know I said about when I had a couple of glasses I think I’ve been to the pub might have been that night or another night when i’ had

A couple of glasses of wine and a load of stuff turned up and I was like oh oh yes that was when i’ had wine wasn’t it some random but I think there was a couple of bits that actually were all right for me and the girls in a couple

Of bits it was just like carried away um so one was this so luckily I’ve sold it on minted just for £8 it’s a um Urban Outfitters big sweater thing which I got from no ma but I don’t think I paid 8 quid so I’ve made a couple of pounds towards whatever

We bought um hey juel I wore one of your large penants yesterday nice on a plain black dress I was at a funeral oh that’s not so I hope that one okay but um oh I’m pleased yeah um good morning gorgeous morning Joan and then I picked up two bits for resale which

Um yeah I’m fine with I’m Going Back to Basics so these are all right pieces so I’d rather be doing that so these have gone on my eye so yeah it’s unbelievable you know that whole thing where I said oh sometimes you like almost cross off a

Charity shop and then you go back in and you find something like oh God now I’ve got to look through 3,000 pieces every time I go there because I found something well I found now these don’t do like as well as I use I sold these I’ve sold these for like

Over100 P before and they went to the US but doesn’t seem to be happening anymore um maybe Kate’s not wearing them anymore it’s a the fold dress um in a size 12 decent size there we go oh what the effing FS is going on with the

Light oh there’s no way you can see that is the well trust me it says the fold um so and Incredibly I got it for £4 half price in a shop that I would normally say I never find anything in there and that was the

Only thing I found in the whole shop I was in the bloody ages going through but I’ve put it on for 40 or 50 40 I think on minted yeah I used to sayell these for over 100 so it’s definitely dropped but we’ll see but anyway that’ll be a lovely profit

And the other thing I got from my favorite one in town um that always I find just one or two fabulous things and I love you um it’s a mountain equipment fleety Zippy up thing really thick it’s a size small so it’s a men’s size small in size large I’d say um

Really nice uh given my well actually luckily is oh yeah is way too good for me luckily because otherwise I be like I that it’s really thick you know you can tell something it’s really good quality and that I paid £750 for that I’ve put it on for 50 on

Minted if I can get 40 be well happy so yeah that’s kind of quality sh I’m sourcing right now let’s put this too oh my God yeah so ly D um yeah happy with that uh what have we got I watched the last episode oh whoever was saying about yeah on the

Um you are what you eat I watched the last episode last night really made me think about you know people the twins that had in the US that had been doing the plant-based diet immediately that their signs of living longer were a Comedia well within like 6 weeks or something it was

Incredible and it really made me think cuz I was eating my caramel like maybe I should sort my diet out a bit I’m still thinking about it um oh I did purchase oh when I went to Marks I got this so day before had that CBD thing plant sweetened energy drink and

It tastes tasted like an energy drink it’s got vitamin B6 and 12 in it enhance freaking enjoyed that and I got I got I just got I just got some like custard cream Mar’s custard creams which I’ve eaten but got these that’ll do um nice find should do really well those

Yeah thanks yeah I um just trying to be a bit picky picky picky because umly not too much space here and need stuff that’s actually going to sell though the fold but the fold will stick around for a bit um RJ not sure why eBay’s been good late last few days probably your

Turn RJ I mean I feel like it’s like you know can’t always be at the top and maybe and then it’ll settle and then you get you know that’s why we get the pizza and troughs but yeah make the most that’s good I’m pleased to hear somebody is

Um doing all right on there uh yes so if you’re watching back please let me know what do you think are we over complicating everything um is there do you have plans to simplify stuff are you okay with it being over complicated what are the answers let me
