    Belated Happy Birthday from the weekend dc.

    Quick update tonight. I bought myself some more of my scrapbook pages I have created through photobox and ued paypal so transferred the £12 from my bank to the loan instead.

    Tomorrow is my next standing order payment, I'm almost excited to see how much the interest is.

    Couple more ebay parcels posted today and put some new ones on as I have my laptop back now so it feels like home again lol.

    :hello: Dawn. I initially wasn't going to have a diary, but I knew I needed something to look back on and keep me on track to get this car paid for. Good to see you here.

    I can't update properly this morning :mad:. Logged into banking and they have put the interest on my loan amount but not taken the monthly standing order from my account yet for some reason.

    It's bugging me but until it goes out and off the loan I wont have a proper total.

    A small amazon sale of £5.39 came through to me this morning so paid £6 off the loan.

    Interest this month was £34.84 which was higher than last month. Very odd, but it's under £40 so am still fairly happy with that.

    Will update signature later as and when I see the proper figure.

    My new figure as of today is £2149.82

    The bank finally updated my account apparently yesterday but nothing had changed at 9pm last night when I checked.

    I don't think I'm going to manage to pay off £149.82 this month which is a shame but I don't want to leave myself completely skint and I have just realised car tax is due on OH's car so there goes £100 straight away!

    I need to sort out a new account for car and present money I think so I don't forget about these things and need to find the money.

    Yesterday was a nsd thankfully. I didn't go to the shop and I made dinner to take in from home. I need to go and make a pizza from scratch this morning to take to work tonight for dinner.

    Nothing much happening on ebay at the mo unfortunately. My listings seems to be going round and round now, I really must have the total carp left now.

    Your new balance is looking good yukkibear! You might just surprise yourself in finding £149.82 - there goes £27.02 already.... only £122.80 to find! ;)

    My ebay stuff has watchers at the moment but only 1 with a bid of 99p - hoping they get some more bids at the weekend. I have more stuff to list tonight so hopefully some of that will shift!

    Nope that £27.02 had already been counted so it's still £149.82 unfortunately.

    Good luck with your ebay sales. I've to to think of something, but it;s not the end of the world if I don't do it, but would love to.

    It's £8 ish per day but that has to reach my account in time so not always easy and it has to be in real money, not vouchers or savings etc lol, don't ask for much do I

    That's coz you're one determined lady, and if you weren't you would only have paid off your minimum so well done. You are a real inspiration.
