In bed with my creditor ...

Raini

I'm not quite sure how I managed to do it at this time in the morning but a few of my ebay items are ending this morning - maybe already ended - and it's so annoying because I can't access ebay until I get home! But 4 of them already had bids on so thats good. Was going to work late but maybe I'll go home & get to the post office to get them sent off this evening.

Oh & LB will be back hopefully on Thursday, so although I won't see him until after 10pm it'll be nice to have him home early

Trying to get positive but just don't have the energy ... maybe I should do some work!

Oh and I receive £13.60 from paypal which has gone in the LB savings account

I also finished my personal statement and posted that off so fingers crossed ...

LB came home last night, it was so lovely to have him back I don't remember him going out this morning though as I was so tired. Really wish I had the weekend with him but have two long days, but it's all money & it'll be worth it in the end :rolleyes:

Was very surprised to see that I ad sold a book on Amazon! That hasn't happened in a very long time!

OK plans for this week (until Thursday)

1. Package sales
2. Post Office
3. List more ebay items
4. Meal Plan
5. Shopping
6. Tidy bedroom!
7. Catch up with finances :eek: not looking forward to that
8. Start exercising

Just a little list. Better get on with it

Two more ebay items relisted ...

Raini

And I have decided to set a smaller challenge to focus on:

£4,500 paid off what I owe LB by August 28th

chevalier

good luck with your mini challenge. hope it helps you to keep focussed. though i think you are doing pretty well on that count anyway!

Raini

Thanks for Chev

Was starting to think I was boring everyone to death! Gets a bit dull talking to yourself!! :rotfl:

Raini

To more ebay items relisted ...

Raini

Right ... I have been through & calculated what we've spent this month and it's not good!! :eek: We still have another week to go & we have spent £133.56 on food so far!! :eek::eek: But I guess we've been away & it's the first month that I've done long days at work ... Still it's really not good!

Must do better ... But hopefully we will have another £500 to pay off the mortgage at the end of the month ... it would be too depressing to say it could have been more so I won't!! :rolleyes:

Must visit the old style boards!

Shifts went quite well at the weekend, actually felt like I helped a couple of people which is always a bonus! Have done most of my list but need to crack on with ebay really ... don't want to fail both my challenges!

Raini

Six more items on ebay ... 4 things sold today, 3 of which have already been paid for ... went to cinema this evening & saw Drag Me to Hell ... I don't like scary films but LB wanted to see it ... it was really quite funny in parts ... but also very jumpy!

Now I have £16 something to transfer from paypal ... all going in the right direction

Does anyone else's OH read over their shoulder - it's off putting LB!!!!

Hi Raini! :hello:

I subscribed to your diary away back last week - so figured it was time to stop being rude and stop by to say hello!!

You're doing very well with the challenge so far - you don't half work a crazy amount of hours though - but it'll all be worth it I'm sure when you're debt free!

You're almost motivating me to get started on e-baying - just not sure that I actually have anything to sell - hhhhmmmmm maybe next month!
