phew... im back
had a poorly couple of days, didnt come on here so must have been bad. tucked myself up in bed as much as i could.
so then onwards and upwards... had a good house cleaning day, ironing pile hmmm i think it must be breding somehow!
moneywise.. same old same old but some positive new on the car we are trying to sell; lots of people ringing up and want to know more. hoping to sell it in the next week and that would release a good amount of cash and pay off one loan.
work wise - nothing going on a moment as im all up to date so thats a bit grim.
ebay - going well and managed to sort out a whole load of new stuff to list next week starting on tuesday so that should generate some cash.
as for the holiday im pining for .. thats a big NO NO!!!
right o - im off to watch tv.
hope everyone else out there in debtbustingland is good and well!

hi hi morning wide awake I'm excited cos I've had a little payrise with inflation then again with yearly increment but that's in September. Glad you are better how come the holiday is a big no no ? I'm excited to be makin progress with debt woo hooooo

mrscmr

ah well the holiday is a big no no as no no money !!!
simples!
have a good day!

think of the holiday you can have when your debt free andyou have saved for it you will appreciate it more. I sometimes want to splurge not your amount cos I don't have it but I know I'd feel bad because what I had spent could clear somemore of a debt chin up and keep going x x

Yay you're back :j
Glad you are feeling better, my little sis come down with the same as you Friday. Not nice.

Would be so great if you could sell the car soon, keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck with the new ebay stuff, it all adds up as you know

It's SO horrible saying no to the holiday isn't it. I told OH that this year we would not be going abroad (it's only one year out of so many!) and we have booked centre parcs and are planning a short weekend camping in Snowdonia later this month. Maybe you could book yourself a cottage in the UK somewhere nice, lovely walks, scenery etc - freedom to really relax and collect your thoughts. It'll be far cheaper than abroad and you can book some lovely places for short breaks. Last nov we booked a lovely cottage in Snowdonia, with open log fire, rolling hills and mountains for Fri - Mon (sleeps 4) it cost us £250. It was magical and had pigs in the garden :rotfl:

Anyway, enough dreaming.....back to the reality of hard work and becoming debt free :rolleyes:

Good morning my friend yes i have a diary i had to recreate it since i lost my other one i have phases of bobbing on and bobbing off for months but im back for the duration it helps to talk to people about big debts you know what i mean...... i think its called fresh diary for a fresh tax year :rolleyes: or something like that what i will do when your in green il write in my diary and it will be on the front page haha dont be alarmed at my age and my amount of debt it will alarm me more:o oooh to have an home in cyprus to jet off to my oh has his mum in spain so we go there quite abit and we have friends who have a place in france so we go there and its nice to get away i dont think ive had an holiday thats from a travl agent for ages....... how miserable is the weather it doesnt give me incentive to want to go out or do anything happy lol anyway i should look like im doing something today before its gone and i am working nights tonight yipppeee for me but il think of the pennies although the tax often proceeds the incentive to do a night shift :(x

HI MrsC - hope you get new work in soon and that the ebay goes well. Keep on the straight and narrow - it will be worth it to be debt free! Must be nice to have the cyprus holiday to look forward to - altho I am excited about going to cornwall LOL
