    So new targets...

    Ebay - get 25 items listed by the weekend (providing I can find 25 items)
    Start a sewing job for a friend - will take hours but she always pays me a good rate.
    Trall through quidco etc for free money.
    Cut grocery budget - it's been slipping lately and I need to get back into better habits.

    Wish me luck

    Ok, update time..

    Had 27 items finish on ebay yesterday - 15 sold making a profit of £112.

    Quidco - swapped utilities, taken a mobile contract for DD1 (from her allowance so no extra outlay for me) and applied for a couple of CC's that we've activated and ditched.... total due for payout in the next 2 months = £158

    Sewing job completed, still awaiting payment £40

    Birthday money (early from MIL) to go into the pot as I've nothing I need at the moment = £60

    Grand total of = £370 :j

    This is actually going into my savings account for Christmas, we want to buy both DD's a laptop each and are setting a budget of £300 per machine.

    The ongoing debt repayment is plodding on steadily with overpayments of £120 this month...

    Very much on target for the £6k off.

    New targets...

    Another sewing job to price up and do.
    Nag DH to chase up his solicitor re.car accident at Easter, close to agreeing settlement.
    Find a way of making some extra money to suppliment school summer hols/days out.
    Make a start on HM christmas gifts to save the "oh I've run out of time I'll just spend money instead" syndrome.
    Try and find at least 10 more items to ebay.

    :rolleyes:

    Wow Scrooge, you're racing through that lot!

    I've been doing not too badly with the list I set myself pre-holiday, just got to spend tomorrow tidying up a few loose ends and packing.

    Hope everyone has a productive few weeks while I'm away - I'll probably be back mid-July with the mother of all lists!
