Lucy's DFW Spending Diet.

Evening all
Ok had a NSD today :j:money:and also stuck to my diet for the second day running
. It may only sound like little things but for my they are huge great big things and I am going to try and keep them up.... You never know somewhere in the future there may be a skinny, debt free me.
Anyway nothing much to report. Saw my Aunt at the weekend who is looking ok, she has an appointment on Thursday to find out about the chemo, so I should find out more then. But we did spend some nice time in her garden enjoying a little of the sunshine. She's struggling a little mentally, which isn't surprising as it's a lot to deal with.
But other than that, all is good. I've got some more stuff to ebay, but just need to try and find some time to load it now.

Sticking to everything and enjoying it. Had a low spend day which was good and I'm still taking lunch into work which is great.

Other than that not much to report really.

Evening
Well I am currently sat here listing stuff on ebay...
So Wedding favours from when I was planning my non wedding with my ex, an old but still good SLR camera and some of my cousins star trek stuuf. Hopefully some of it will sell if not I think it might be a case of 'off to the charity shop with you!'
Mum took me out for dinner which was very nice, and I caved into the biscuits at work
and haven't had a very good food day. Still I can be good again tomorrow.
My Aunt had her appointment and the news isn't fab. Chemo and radio will shrink the cancer, but not kill it completely. So eventually, one day in the future this will probably kill her. Not a nice thought but it could be years in the future. So feeling a little down tonight if I am honest.
Right fingers crossed for nice EBay sales!!Current debt - £16,300

Morning
Right Ebay... I have one item with a watcher :j so hopefully said watcher will purchase!!!
I've promised my boss I will help teach her to use Ebay as she has loads of stuff she wants to get rid of. And my Mum is hunting through the house for things that she doesn't want.
Was out ice skating with work last night (read I managed 1 go without falling
and then watched everyone else):o
Plan for the day... ebay some more, and take mother food shopping and then try not to spend anything, Oh and get back into the diet. Things have gone astray the last 2 days :rolleyes:.

Just had some bad news.
My Aunt has had a meeting with her specialist... the Cancer looks like it might have spread, they are testing, but it doesn't sound good.
She has to have 3 lots of chemo now, if she doesn't then the prognosis is 3-6 months and even the if she does it may be a minimum of 6months - 1year survival. Hopefully she will last longer than a year and they will know more after this first lot of chemo.
But it's not looking good.Current debt - £16,300

Ya!!
People have been paying me from my ebay sales... Paypal is now up to £36 something and I keep find stuff to list... Just found a pair of ear rings I've never worn (they were a gift from a friend, but so not me!) might head off and list them soon.
Also been birthday shopping with Mum, now the very proud owner of a beautiful patchwork quilt!Current debt - £16,300

Afternoon!
I am currently taking a break from a mass house clean/cake baking session. It's my birthday this week and I promised the office homemade chocolate fudge cake, which is currently cooling downstairs.
I am also taking the opportunity to stick some more stuff on Ebay, part of the mass clean up is to try and find Ebayable goods. So I am currently listing pieces of furniture from my Dolls House which I'm not going to use.
Then I'm off to clean the bathroom, finish my room, hoover both and the cat's bed.
