Question What is making you happy today?

[Ricey]

Juicing! No solids only home made juice black coffee and coconut water. Guaranteed weight loss but you need to have good willpower!

Isn’t it good whilst you’re doing it but as soon as you come off it’s easy to pile it straight back on?

A woman brought a cutlery set i was selling on Marketplace, & when she came round to collect it earlier, asked if i had any other items for sale.
Lo & behold she is buying another 3 items, happy days!.

Ha!. A complete mismatch of items to be honest. Oilskin bib & brace, Retro Tuner & 4 local History books about Hullbridge/Hockley/ Hawkwell, Rayleigh, Leigh on Sea & History of Essex!

On the subject of Facebook marketplace, managed to sell the last EVER of our buggies. It had been on there for ages and I wasn’t budging on the price. A nice polish lady bought it and didn’t haggle on the price at all. I have never not sold something I have advertised on there.

Budget buggie not budging until it was polished off!

The Johnny Depp trial has made me realise maybe I don't drink too much.

Last Oct i advertised 40 sets of fishing tackle worth £60 for £15. Thought they'd be snapped up instantly.
Sold them yesterday to a guy who brought a fishing rod from me, & asked him at the time whether he was interested in wreck fishing tackle rigs?. He brought them!.
Started selling on Marketplace beginning last Nov, after Boot sales dwindled out. To date have sold about £600 worth of assorted items on there.

You're doing brilliant on there Tony. I only went fishing once, and it just wasn't for me. as I was a bit of an action lad. I went with an older friend, Rowan Greenslade who you know, to the end of the pier on a hot summers day. I was about 13. To prepare, he lent me a fishing rod, and the day before showed me how to melt lead into little moulds for fishing weights to tie to the end of the line. I actually enjoyed the melting and making the weights. That was great. It was just one of those days when the fish weren't biting. I was also a bit of a girlie about putting the live maggots on the hook. Having sat there for about 4 hours, I got bored and went into the penny arcade. Rowan suddenly came in and said ''Quick, you've got a bite.'' I carefully reeled it in, and it was a Horse Mackerel. He said something about it's not the best fish to catch. I asked if I can just throw it back then, which I did.

Rowan was right, you cant eat that variety of mackerel, unless you want to be ill?.

£3,541 tax rebate, due to them incorrectly taxing my private pension in last tax year. Definitely happy days!!.

i have taken a leaf out of Ron martins book and use HMRC as a bank.
My tax code is wrong which means every year when I do a return I owe them a set amount.
This is fine with me as I invest that sum every year, so basically I have an ongoing “free overdraft “ which rolls over every year ?
The only downside is one year I forgot That I “owed them” and got a rude reminder when I filled in my form
