My £3k challenge

yukkibear

Well done my stint of working for the day, am shattered now but it was nice to be outside in the sunshine.
Prob spent about £20 (not that I saw anything but a can of drink from it), but not too bad.
Not sure what to do tonight, am watching a pair of peppa pig trainers on ebay that I'm currently winning but I don't think I'll win them and I wont put any more on.

Well we didn't spend £20, only about £3 yesterday so that was brilliant.

Today is the start of a new month so I am forcing myself to be motivated. I rounded down my bank account this morning so paid off £3.06 off the loan.

Am going to list three things on ebay today and have one parcel to post.
Waiting on a buyer to pay for an item won on sunday.

Oh and I won those Peppa pig trainers which was great.

Off to see MIL this morning and back later for a paperwork shuffle and ebay listing.

£5 paid off today.

Managed to list 7 items on ebay yesterday which was great, but buyer from sunday still hasn't paid.

Need some serious ideas to generate some extra cash now.

yukkibear

£10 paid off today. Received £5 from Quidco and £3.85 from Amazon sale so rouded it up.
Life seems to be a bit hectic this week with no time for thinking of money making ideas which is a bit of a nightmare.

Nothing is shifting on ebay and still waiting on a payment.

Done the food shopping and it was under £60 so was happy with that, I didn't have time to meal plan but the freezer is bursting as well as the cupboards so we should have plenty of food.

You are doing good, nearly at the half way mark!

So close but feels like so far.........


Just been browsing Ikea and saw some shelving units that hold boxes that would be fab for DD2's toys in the lounge. The house feels so cluttered at the mo and I think the lack of storage has a lot to do with it. I am loathe to buy anything though until this loan has gone, so it's making me even more frustrated lol.

Aww Yukkibear, you are doing so well, almost at the half way mark so almost on the home straight!! Keep your chin up!

Is there any of your DD's toys she's outgrown that you could ebay to help create some more space?

I'm hoping to go to my local car boot sale this weekend to get rid of some stuff, weather permitting... its pee'ing it down today!!

yukkibear

Probably loads tbh CWC but everytime I sort through I realise she still plays with a lot of them.

Aaarghh lol. Anyway off to work soon, that'll keep me busy for the rest of the day

I am the same I think what if i Just paid more off but then I would have no money and be pretty miserable so slow and steady it is!

Well done yb on yet another payment. You're still doing great. Don't let your house get you down, DD will grow out of her toys soon enough and you will be wanting these toddler years back again! Is OH handy - could he perhaps make you some trendy shelves or a nice big toy box/seat to store things away in neatly hidden away?

By the way, how's she getting on with the potty training?
