I've lost track of what has gone in and out but my downstairs is looking lovely. The kids rooms have been weeded beyond belief. Unfortunately we can't get into our bedroom properly!
My next mission is to empty our huge cupboard upstairs and rid us of all the toys from in there. After that I will move onto our bedroom and get that emptied. Then it can be redone which will be an epic job.Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Karma, I had this in my announcements bit too:
***No Insertion Fee for auction-style listings on Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th November***
26 November, 2008 | 10:01AM GMT
This weekend, private sellers can list their items on eBay.co.uk using the auction-style format with a starting price of 99p or under and pay no Insertion Fee*. So it's a great opportunity to clear out your unwanted items in your home before Christmas and make a little bit of extra cash too!Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
