    Well done on starting to tackle your debts. I think it is interesting how some people like to bite a large bit out of their debts once a month, and that some like to nibble away at their debts through the month. Whatever works for you is fine
    Well done on the green met sales. If things start to slow down on there you can always try Amazon

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    thanks chev....must appreciated advice...willcheck out amazon aswell.

    well this morning ive woke up with a cloud above my head..not sure what is wrong. well no actually i do...the money im waiting to arrive at my bank still hasnt landed....ggggrrrr. oh well. tomorrow it should definetely be there!! So today isnt going to be much of a debt busting day im afraid.
    Mortgage went out :mad: boohoo. but at least its out the way now for this month! I have worked out that i now only have around £200 to splash at debts this month. But the car needs a service so maybe i wont even have that much....ah can you tell i'm feeling miserable today!!

    Right im going to make a brew and have some brekkie....then im going to do some productive things!!!

    well i have perked myself up. god knows what got into me this morning!!

    have made a couple of payments today....£5 to lloyds cc and £2.12 to barclaycard cc....this was mainly done to get my total debt down to an even number lol :rotfl:so now the debt stands at £39900!! better than it was ey!! And i keep reminding myself just how much i have actually managed to pay off in just 16days!

    the ebayers still havent coughed up there money so cant get the items posted out today. hopefully i will be able to get them posted tomorrow.....hate having things laying around!!

    Have had a productive morning sorting out business files so im a happy bunny.

    not got much else planned today. Its a bit too hot to be going out as i dont have any suncream to smoother onto dd. Will have to get some whilst im out later. Wont harm to have a bottle in the house for days like this.

    Right im going to list some ebay things....well first of all im going to find some....then list them lol. :D

    Good morning all!!

    well apologies for my miserable tone yesterday......i have definietely perked myself up today. Finally the money has landed in the account i want it in so i can now plan my pay debt plan for the month....it may not be big...but every little help.

    Have so far today done my free scratchcard...and paid off £6 - greenmet sales - to lloyds cc!! Will be making more payments when dd has her morning nap!!

    Looking at my spreadsheet and doing geeky things with numbers i am delighted that i have already paid off 5% of our debts!! It may not seem much but considering i have only really been focusing on this the past few weeks...I think its fab!! :j

    Am also setting myself a weight loss challenge for this month of 10lbs!! So will be adding that to the signature too.

    Right be back later lovelies.

    Glad you are feeling happier today, it always makes me feel happy when I pay extra off my cards. What free scratchcard do you do? I do one too but don't very often get more than 10p.

    Good luck with the weight loss.

    How are you doing with Ebay? I listed a Christian Dior Gift Set on the free listing day, it was a present from my brothers girlfriend but I've never used it so I started it at £14.99, someone asked me if I had a Buy It Now price but I didn't as I wasn't sure how much it was originally bought for so thought I would leave the auction to run. Anyway, today it has been bid up to £36 so far, it finishes in 11 hours. I have quite a lot finishing tonight and have a few bids so I hope I get lots more bids on things as I really need the money/need to shift it all.

    Have a good day. Is it hot where you are? It is going to be 32 degrees here in London today, might even sit outside for a bit in my shorts and get some colour to my pale skin.

    Bye for now
