Morning all.
Hayley, I read that post don;t worry about it, some people have nothing better to do than have a go. You're doing what you think's best and that's the main thing. It's your debt after all up to you how much and how fast you pay it off.
Yay double scratchies will take me over the withdrawal limit so that's good.
Have worked out over the weekend my matched betting has gotten me a profit of £38.78 so am pleased with that.
CL I need more clothes too as does dd2 and probably dd1, and def OH lol, but hey ho, can't all have them at once. I might have to start ebaying again but am too scared to work out the new fees. Might look at it later to see how bad they are.0 -
Morning All
What a miserable day, all raining and dark.
Anyway, i got 2 "best offers" for 2 items, but they were rediculous, so i sent back an alternative best offer and they declined them. I honestly think they wanted them for nowt. :rolleyes: No chance. They still have 6 days left so im not too worried.
10p on scratch cards today, but that brings another one up to £10 thanks to double scratches. Just going to wait until the end of the week and then withdraw the £10.
Thanks for that Hayley, i will have a look in boots tomorrow... im far too excited ! :rotfl: and as others have said dont listen to that person on your diary. They probably thought they were being helpful, but what people have to realise is that paying off debt isnt the be all and end all of it. It is if you are struggling to eat etc. but if you arent then why should you deprive yourself all of the time? Yeah i spent £280 on my tattoo and £100 at alton towers, but i love my tattoo and really needed the break at alton towers.
Now thats off my chest... back to work!

Morning everyone. It is a horrible day isn't it...
I've got a few things to do today, I'm doing the food shopping in a bit, then I'm going to bank some of my 20p's and collect a missed delivery from the post office. When I'm back I'm going to make some jewellery whilst trying to read about matched betting. I haven't signed up to loads of gambling sites because I've been saving them for matched betting but am a bit scared of it...
A small rant... I spent £25 on petrol on friday and it STILL hasn't been deducted from my account. I wouldn't mind but I don't want to forget I've made trasnactions and go overdrawn because they have been so slow to take the money. That's actually one of the reasons I used to use my credit card all the time. I'm usually sailing quite close to my overdraft limit and I never wanted to be charged for going over it. Anyway, rant over...
Have a nice day everyone.

£280 /divided bythe rest of your life = bargain!! Dont they reckon you should divide clothes by a cost per wear? that makes your tattoo about 00000000.1 p each time you 'wear ' it lol!!
Had 3x 10p and ...wait for it .....50p!!!!!!! on the scratchies so i am on £9.20 on one-withdrawal next week yay!0 -
