Hello Everyone
We had friends over last night which was great- it's a really good friend who I just don't get to see very often so it was lovely to see her and her OH.
I also managed to sell two of the three items that I had posted on Ebay :j - I am really please as I had been really scared of selling on Ebay. I've now got the bug and am hoping to get a few more items on today and this week.
I also managed to negotiate a payment holiday for my BT bill so that's an extra £13 that I can focus on debt next month.
I've got a busy week ahead so need to make sure I am all planned and sorted for the week so I don't buy extra food. Went a bit mad on the shopping yesterday - need to work out what was groceries and update the GC challenge.
Today I will/have:- [STRIKE]clean kitchen[/STRIKE]

- [STRIKE]pack up sold items from ebay/amazon[/STRIKE]
- list 5 more items on ebay and amazon
- [STRIKE]make lunch for work tomorrow[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]store cupboard meals[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]visit mum and dad[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]buy paint for flat (using 15% voucher)[/STRIKE]
- 30 mins decluttering
- [STRIKE]loaf in BM for dad - he loves my bread![/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]See what dad has picked up in woopsies in return![/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]scratchies - two today![/STRIKE] 2 x 10p
- [STRIKE]continue to use toiletries and beauty products by giving myself a facial[/STRIKE]
- do nails (again using up products)
- [STRIKE]pack bag for work[/STRIKE]
