The less I spend, the more I can afford.

Well, my first sales happened on ebay today. About £100 worth. I need to get motivated to list more in the next couple of days. Hope everyone else is doing ok.
Save me from spending...

Not too sure what you mean by this, do you mean like lending a friend money and then they pay it back to you? I wouldn't count it, but have noticed others putting loan repayments through. I do count (teeny, weeny, tiny) interest payments on bank accounts.
:rolleyes: i know, loan repayments dnt count as new money do they? i think im gonna have to be a bit more creative about all this now (eeek!) :eek:We got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic.
