The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

Haha-yuk! Stupid woman - all ebay clothes are always creased - they're bound to be, and if it's one of the things you got in Ireland a couple of weeks ago it's hardly had time to sit around the house acquiring even a musty smell has it?! I agree it's to do with the £5 tag - I'd have taken that off if I were you!
Good news about the ebay money! I guess the one good thing about having probs withdrawing it is that it mounted up so much in the meantime. Ah you'll be debt-free before you know it!
I've been to the bank and sorted out the unwanted overdraft, so that £1.28 is going to be recredited to my account. Not much but better in my pocket than theirs!! The top I liked had gone so I went and bought a frilly knicker set instead(oops)

I can't believe what some people complain about! Stupid woman, how does she expect a dress to arrive, in a suit hanger delivered by limo (full of febreeze!) I've never complained about anything I've bought, if I don't like it it is my fault for getting it in the first place, buyer's remorse should be dealt with by the buyer not the seller!
The reason everything is such short notice is that everyone is desperate for us to be in now, OH can't stay at his rented place much longer, and builder really wants us in so the estate agent is pushing to get it sorted today. The solicitors lost the first copy of our lease so we've been waiting for them to get a new one sent out, just got it yesterday and ran to the post office and spent £4.60 to send it back so they'd get it today! I'm calm now as I've more or less lost interest in the whole thing, it's been so stressful I'm now switched off! And OH dislocated his knee playing Rugby on Saturday, he can't walk without crutches so he can't help with moving in! What a nightmare!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

Haha, nice timing from your OH! Ouch though!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0

Moving house sounds like a nightmare! At least with OH immobilized you can have him ready on command for tea making duty
Getting excited as tomorrow is my spending day! Have to give my parents board so that cancels out my NSD, means I can buy mariokart *nerd* (I am using my £15 amazon voucher) and get me and OH some treats for saturday. Also taking out £50 for the craft show, surely that will be enough incase something pretty catches my eye? Leaving the visa at home so I don't go crackers.0 -
Ooooh, craft fair?! I don't need to hear those words, I lose money just thinking about paper and card and all things scrapbooking! I went to Hobbycraft on Saturday and 'only' spent £20+ on bits that I don't need but it was all too pretty to leave on the shelf!
I'm hoping that OH will just stay out of the way and supervise the building of the wardrobes when we move i.e. let me get on with the decorative side of things! He's a control freak though so I'm sure he'll be hobbling around behind me moving everything!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

I can't comment on your OH there, I'm just the same! Following Rich around my house putting things back properly.
Although it's a pretty cheap trip, £11 for the ride there and entry, I'll still need to behave once we're in. Saying that I'll come back with all sorts knowing me!0 -
Cinny that's not how the NSD challenge is supposed to work, though it's what I always end up doing 'Well I'd better buy this now so I don't have to spend on it tomorrow'.
I've been on a one-woman mission all afternoon to get over £12 on dooyoo purely on return rates because I'm halfway through about 6 reviews and just can't get my bum in gear to finish them. So I've been reading and rating and reading and rating and am now at 12020 points! Woo! But when you break it down that's only £1 per review, doesn't seem like much!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -

We follow each other putting things where we think they should be! He works 2-10 and I work 'normal' hours and we keep joking that he'll put everything his way on a morning, I'll put it back in the evening and it will a constant battle! Now he's going to be off for about a month we'll be having major fall-outs! LOL!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.

Don't be silly, of course that's how it works...in my head, don't burst my little bubble.
Although I have been wanting that mariokart for ages now, makes sense to get it tomorrow on an already wrecked NSD then ruin mondays by getting it then.0
