    Things are going ok. Had my weigh in at the slimming club yesterday, I'm aiming to lose 7lb in July. Going fine so far, just had a very tasty salad for lunch. It's the weekends that are the killer for me, specially this weekend as I'm going camping/fishing, normally we take sausages/burgers/bacon and whisky or beer. Not taking of that this time, trying to be as healthy as possible.

    Moneywise, the interest has gone onto my loan and my regular payment has gone off too, also paying an extra £16.05 to round it down so it now stands at £8,880.00.

    Still not got round to putting anything on eBay yet, need to do it asap.

    Had a bit of a spend on the credit card last weekend due to feeling down in the dumps and wanting to get away for a couple of nights due to a situation at home. Will update totals later.

    On a positive note I've just had my weigh in at the slimming club and have lost 1lb.

    I had been selling my DVDs on eBay but a new shop has opened locally where you can your DVDs, games, cds etc, and you can look on the website to see how much you can get for them. I took some in yesterday and got £37 for them, going to take some more in over the next couple of days, I reckon I've got another £80 worth. Much easier than using eBay to sell them, if you do a search for cex you will find the website.

    Well done with your weight loss. Keep going losing the debt as well.
    I have lost 22lbs since the start of our debt adventure with our creditors so being in debt may have some advantages!!

    22lbs well done you DW. I'm going away in aug so must try to lose something as can't afford new cossie. I keep thinking that if I buy less I will save money and lose weight but with prices going up it doesn't work that way.
