    Lol yes Primula my mind has been working overtime trying to figure it out believe me.

    Thanks guys I am feeling better today, keep sleeping very heavily so perhaps I am over tired. I have a short day at work today and then the weekend off so that will be nice.

    It's OH's payday on Monday so that should hopefully get some debt down. My account is so so and I am pleased with the progress I have made to keep the total up again.

    One more ebay item sold but waiting for payment and the buyer has 0 feedback. It's only a 99p item so not too worried we'll see but they have to start somewhere so don't like being doubtful.

    Have remembered to get some meat out of the freezer so we have soething for dinner tonight when we get home from work, so that is good, but we have nothing in for lunch so I will be naughty today and buy something, but I'll keep it cheap.

    I have nothing out freezer for our dinner, and no thought of lunch either. Need to work on that for next week I think! And it's Friday and sometimes we have bacon rolls for coffee break. Wonder if I can resist today?! Have a nice weekend.

    Have been naughty today and spent money that I shouldn't have. Bought

    - pair of jeans in the sale £8
    - bottle of wine promotion £3.54
    - nail varnishes and mascara on 3 4 2 £7

    A lot of it was reduced, and I went into next but there was nothing in dd's size and only one pair of jeans in my size that I liked and I wasn't queuing for one pair of jeans.

    Was supposed to be going out tonight but bbq has been rained off and to be honest I just wanted to stay in anyway so that's good. Have a bottle of wine to drink and probably regret in the morning lol.

    Have had a fairly productive day today. Got 8 new bits on turbolister ready to upload tonight and will relist more of the unsold.

    Have 7 items ending today, 1 of which will sell and a watcher on another. It all adds up!

    One dooyoo review written today but as that's not going towards the debt busting it doesn't help me for being motivated in that area.

    I know I'm going to be uber poor until this loan is paid off so all spare money next month is going at the loan unless I'm really skint. Have to put half the car tax money away to ease the stress in Sept, but am hoping for a few bits and bobs to start trickling through. Have to concentrate on ebay a bit more I think and be ruthless to bring some money in and then I can calm down a bit between the loan and the next target.

    £6.64 paid off this morning, from a small payment bonus. Feels better to start paying things off again.

    :T Well done on your payment yukkibear.

    Hope you feel all better now and you enjoyed your wine and you enjoying your lovely bargain jeans and **wags finger (in a jokey way though)** hope you really needed that mascara and did not just buy it coz it was on offer?!! ;) LOL. I won’t say pity about the bbq being rained off coz I know you were secretly hoping for rain! Well done on all your listings too, you are so good with all your little bits.
