Hello Hope :hello:
Well done - I've just read through your diary, you are making serious inroads to your debt. Wish I could clear my CCs so quickly. I'm very impressed with the amounts you are making on ebay -what sort of things are you selling? I'm trying to raise extra money and have put a few things on but have not done very well so far.

Hi Tixy,
I am selling ornaments, dvd box sets, clothes (adult and kids) and jewellery.
Another idea for you if you have any is gold!!
It does not matter if it is broken etc, you just weigh it (in grams) and stick it on ebay- the gold market is very good at the moment!!
Let me know if you need any help.
I would recommmend that you put your listings on for 1 week and I find that Sundays are the best day for listings to end.
Just now I am just clearing out all the crap in my house and then I will hit the loft (not looking forward to that as you can hardly get up there lol)
My car has MOT tomorrow so I will find out what the damage is:mad: xxxVirgin card-0/1440:j

Hello,
not been on for a while so I thought it was time for an update.
My car failed its MOT so it is costing me £350:mad:
I am gutted because I really wanted to use that money to put towards the credit card but I need my car so.........
I have been posting lots on ebay and I have made over £300 so far and I still have a little money in my ISA account so my holiday is now paid and I have the money to pay MOT and a little spare for food shopping:T
I have more ebay finishing this week and I am hoping to make another £100 from this and that will go to my credit card:D
I am starting to become very doubtful about paying this card by the end of March as things keep creeping up on us
But I WILL get there in the end xxxVirgin card-0/1440:j

Hi to anyone that is still reading my boring diary:o
I have been working my butt off with ebay and I am pretty sure I will have my virgin card cleard by the end of Feb:j :j :j
£310 wages
£150 council tax
£490 ebay
I said that ebay would pay my holiday but I have until 20th March to find £200 and I get paid the day that the holiday is due to be paid so it should all be fine.
My car failed its MOT so that is costing quite a bit:mad: but thanks to mse I have money stuck away for it!!
Wish me luck:T :T xxVirgin card-0/1440:j

I am worried sick as to how we are going to pay mortgage etc!!
But for just now we will plod on and try and pay as much debt before the s*** hits the fan.

Not been on for a while, where do I start?
Oh might be getting made redundant so we now have to wait and see what happens!!
I crashed my car and have a hefty £250 excess to pay, a day after paying out £300 for my MOT.
Nothing seems to be going to plan at the moment.
I have just paid £200 to my credit card bringing it down to £750.
I get paid on Friday so i am hoping to pay another £250, and another £300 when OH gets paid next week bringing it down to £200- thank god!!
A quick question (if anybody still read my boring diary)
I have ultimate reward account with HBOS and was wondering if anybody has had their overdraft pulled?
The last few months when I have been checking bank account online it has been coming up overdraft limit £3500, guaranteed overdraft limit £2500, I have logged on tonight and the guaranteed overdraft liit is now showing at £3500 again???????
Any advice re overdraft greatky welcome!!Virgin card-0/1440:j

Hi Hope, I have just stumbled across your diary, you are doing really well with reducing your Cc's, I have never had one of those accounts but i think there is another forum regarding bank accounts so you could always check on there.Barclays OD -£805.93/limit £800 A & L OD -£350.00/limit £250HFC (laptop) £549.00, Barclays Loan £3033.00, O2 £331 (227.70 left)(defaulted):eek::eek::eek:0
