Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

DietCokeMad

Just popping in to say hi! I keep reading bits of your diary FF but there's so much to catch up on. Kudos to MellyB for finishing it in just over an hour! :j I might follow her example but that will have to wait till tomorrow when i;m less bleary eyed

Had a giggle at the roasted jeans- glad i'm not the only one that does that!

I didn't do very well yesterday but I am going to try hard today (and indeed for the next month). I have put on 1.8lbs in the last two weeks, which isn't bad, but I don't want to end up putting all back on that I had lost and I really want to buy some new jeans that fit me so I need to shift another half a stone.

Food

Breakfast - Special K and semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - omelette with chorizo, spring onion, cheese and potato. Took side salad instead of chips, felt virtuous.
Dinner - cheese on toast
Snacks - banana, packet of Love Hearts, nine chocolate digestives

Not amazing really, although I think the guilt from typing it all down will eventually work

Having a poo day today, tired and emotional and blah. Shall be a perkier Fresian in the morning.

Night all.

Morning f_f. How are you feeling this morning hun? I hope a good sleep has helped you to feel a bit brighter xxx

Morning!


I am feeling a little brighter this morning, but also very hot as it's a lovely day in Edinburgh. The [strike]duvet ninja[/strike] OH woke me up early this morning though so I'm going to do washing, get briefly dressed to put it out on the line and go back to bed :rotfl:

Hope y'all are well.

Xx

Just put through two order to MusicMagpie for a total of £14.05 - every little helps, and it does help Project Declutter! No more CDs on the floor, they are all in boxes/cd towers now. I did get a little sniffy at being offered 30p a CD, but I don't listen to a lot of them, and it makes more space in the house and more money to throw at the debts.

Top tip - if you're using Music Magpie and you get offered more than £1 an item, check Amazon Marketplace for prices there. I have put up two CDs and a DVD for sale there today and if they sell I will make about the same as I just did selling 25+ CDs on Music Magpie.

Next - more books for the bootsale/charity shop pile and a scout about for things I can sell on Ebay. I have been an Ebay lazy person for far too long, even if I make £25 a week after postage that's a lot of money over the year...

Thanks FF - I really need to do this as I am soooooo lax at posting stuff - I can prepare it this weekend and if it sells, ask my Mum to post it off for me if I print out the lable...

Thanks for the tips on Music Magpie too - never heard of them before and usually sell on Amazon - their charges kill any profit you make but I have HUNDREDS to get rid of.... so like you say, every little helps AND I then have some space...

MusicMagpie is good if you have loads of CDs/DVDs but they aren't worth much. I made that £15 in about twenty minutes, so it's not a lot of effort to go to for money and the joy of decluttering.

I already sold one of the CDs I listed on Amazon this morning :j It's all packaged up and I will go to the Post Office tomorrow - it's too hot to move and dinner is nearly ready

I have done nothing else from my list today which is making me feel very lazy. I really need to sort some stuff out for Ebay tonight and photograph it so I can list it tomorrow.

Nothing else to report so I'm off to look for saleable merchandise

Food diary for yesterday:

Breakfast - scrambled eggs on toast
Dinner - gammon with mashed potatoes and peas
Snacks - two bananas and an apple

Yay, a good day for once!!

I also made pea and ham soup with the leftover gammon, onion, potato, peas and sweetcorn so I will take that to work for lunch in the hopes it will fill me up!

Must dash - lots to do today
