I'm currently selling stuff for the first time ever since signing up to Ebay in the late 90's. So far its proving mother wrong that keeping old videogames to later sell may infact have some sort of profit.
As for the new tier rules and the tomfoolery rules for Christmas I am no clearer on what on earth I am allowed to do. Currently, after the lockdown we are in a Tier 2 area and my family are in a Tier 3 area. My parents and my sister's family make 2 households (or maybe now a support bubble, at least my sister was for my mum for a while), the same goes for the bloke's family he would like to see (parents and sister's family, parents at least between lockdowns do the school run and childcare for sister). During this 'Christmas happy hour' you can't switch who you can see so we would have to see entirely one family or another without a simple hello to another.
Personally I am thinking it's fairer for everyone if we just don't visit and all have our own little Christmases. Everyone remains safe, no scary drive for me, no ferrying people around and less stress getting the time off to work around travel (still dont know if I am working over Christmas and not likely to find out for at least another week which is SUPER annoying.) It also means no one takes priority over the other with this visit. I am contemplating meeting up the country half way to do a present drop off in a service station/ hotel car park in the time between end of Lockdown and this weird Christmas time so at least people can get gifts (my mother has made a hamper for us which she hoped to send by courier but they wont send certain perishables or some other so her plans are getting more messed up). Can drive 4 hours and either drive back or stay overnight somewhere before driving back rather than 2x 8 hour trip taking 2 full days pretty much full on driving.
Would quite like a Christmas together since getting married just the two of us (traditionally don't spend Christmas Day together cause it causes drama when we try to every year, maybe 4 times in 12 years we have spent Christmas together ) yet my mum has been poorly and we've hardly seen anyone this year apart from the brief time during our wedding so overall these new rules have not really given much clarity to our personal situation at all.
