    Thanks Its nice to hear other people actually gain from this as well as me.

    A bit of energy had returned this weekend so I prepared so ebay lots with a friend last night with one already on. In total if they sell Ishould get £122 less fees which will really help towards things.

    Well see if this works today because the last few lists on here have been failiures which didnt help.

    Finish ebay posting and sort out two-three more
    Grocery shop with strict £50 cap
    Get OH to put sit up frame back together and do excercise
    eat properly as been living on carp for the last week
    Clean bathroom
    Iron a few bits for work - whilst shocking OH that I picked up our iron again!
    Check and update budget to know true extent of how June is going
    Relax
    Snooze when needed
    Clean kitchen

    Bit of a palava yesterday with Mums BF so now have nephew here. OH gone to range for a bit and DDs have a friend each so 6 kids :eek:. Not too bad if DS didnt keep arguing every 5 minutes.

    Budget ok if spends kept to a minimum, friend repays some loaned money, OH pays his money. Even better if ebay results in sales.

    Will start new budget and thread when holiday over. Waiting to see what Tax credits will go down too :(.

  • No ironing or exercise. I now need to bath and pack an ebay sale £40 profit:j. Listed one more, found another batch to list and had a £7 cash sale.

    Hope other than the Mother issue things keep going well. Seem to get one prob after another so when cash looked bad as well I was starting to waiver. Thank to your words of encouragement I have started to feel better and feel brave enough to look at the finances a bit closer. Things not as bad as I thought.

    Glad to hear things not as bad as you thought KP. I often find once I sit down and properly look at a situation that things are redeemable.

    The ebay sounds like it's going great guns, good for you on that! I have some old maternity clothes to list this coming week.

    Good going on the grocery shop and keeping within budget. I've just done mine online and went slightly over:o If we didn't have the delivery charge to add it'd be in budget - mental note to accommodate this in grocery budget...

    Having a good evening?

    Youve done well, I love the pool.
    Youve done brilliantly with getting the jobs done on the list, hope everything ok.

    Even if the debt busting takes a back seat, we want u not just the debt busting aspects. I see threads as an extension of us, somewhere to let off steam, empty the brain of stuff, gabble away, the good days, the bad days, thats what this thread is about, support, friendship, and being there for each other. Whether you pay 1p or £1,000 of ur debts, thats irrelevant, while ok it helps the debt, but it doesn't change who you are a lady with a big heart xxx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Awww thats lovely thanks
