Total debts
£6,262.63 to be precise.

2 of them inland revenue and a builders merchant are the bad ones.
the merchant is the biggest and is the one i went down the route of the credit agreement as one was never filled in let alone signed but that went pearshapped and we didnt even get our say in court,forms filled and disputed but still went in there favor ,we did manage to get a payment arrangement after the judgement was issued by paying £ 45 to the judge:eek:

Its going down and it was in the £20 k bracket to start with. and i know this is less than some people owe on credit cards(which we have none off and never have had):)

If anyone can pay off that amount by 2013 its you;).

Thank you.
The main reason i started blogging and inputting in diaries is to meet like minded people,to get the support im not getting at home(like i said before my OH is an Ostrich)

If i hadnt read your diary i never would have known about FF this enabled me to knock £500 off one of my debts and pay it off months earlier than expected.

Hubby just called, hasn't heard whether he is starting back his job on Monday yet, but should know this afternoon .

He is finished work for the day, and is heading home to take the scrap metal to the dealer. Hoping for £125:j.

Cash 4 Clothes people have still not come.......I'm waiting for my tenner.......not so patiently.

Taking DS to the shops after school to spend his Communion money - have negotiated that he will save some;). But he wants some new football boots, and I'm just glad I don't have to pay for them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

And the man is en route to pick up the netbook - another £75. Hubby is now due £510 from working for his mate. Will get this at the end of next week hopefully, which would be great as if hubby starts work on Monday he won't have a pay until the following week.

The netbook has been collected, I am £75 better off.:j:j:j

Cash 4 clothes dosh still to be delivered, and hubby is currently filling up the car with scrap metal .

Managed to find a 3 dongle for £20.49 which gives me 3 months surfing and email with 3gb downloads over 3 months. Given that I only have 7 weeks left in London, I reckon that should do nicely. Will then sell it as a pay as you go dongle on Ebay. They are currently going for £10 .

Hubby is off to the scrap merchant, I'm sitting tight for the cash 4 clothes guys.

Once they have been we are off to the shopping centre for DS to spend his money, and me to get my dongle to keep me online when I head south .

Spied an ad on Gumtree for someone wanting a hand held steam cleaner. I have just unearthed one in the garage which has been used a handful of times. Offered her it for £25 - fingers crossed .

Still haven't listed any more, so off to get a rocket up my butt whilst I'm housebound. Quite in love with Gumtree

Should add that the 3gb is valid for 3 months, its not limited to 1gb a month, therefore I can use it all up over 7 weeks if I choose:p.

Wayhay! The scrap netted us £169.50:j:j:j:j:j

The LCD tv and DVD player is now listed on Gumtree for £35.

I'm saving my eBay exploits for the wine and peace and quiet later when the boys go out.;)

Just sitting counting our cash made today £244.50 - its my new favourite hobby:D.

Also, hubby is back in employment from Monday - nothing permanent but hopefully at least 3 or 4 weeks!
