You seem really motivated atm. Sometimes it is nice when friends just drop by and even better when they pay for you to go out!!!!
Take care and keep at it :O)DFW Nerd #11520 -

Doesn't time fly by when you are pricing up carboot stuff!! I got so involved in my declutter that I haven't had time to do anything else - and I'm still not finished yet. Still, I have a lot of stuff so hoping to make at least £100 again.
I watched Jonathan Ross whilst doing it and was glad I did. Denzel Washington is such an inspirational person. Did anyone else watch it?
Off to bed now so goodnight everyone.

Hi everyone
Been up since 5.30am and had a bad night coughing too so feeling knackered. However, I did make just over £80 in the carboot so not too bad. I can put about £50 of that towards my electric bill as I need some food and petrol.
Just going to spend tonight doing some questions as haven't done any for a few days. Will be going to bed early though as I have work tomorrow. I'm going to take a week off work sometime next month. Should help me to reach my targets for August.

Hi, LBM is Light Bulb Moment - the moment when you realise that you need to do something about your debt.
I have had too many for my own good!! I need to just get on with clearing the blasted debts!!

Hi everyone
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I need to post every day to keep me motivated. I had a really bad night last night, had a massive coughing fit and burst a blood vessel in my lung so started coughing up blood. It's nothing serious and will sort itself out but my chest is really hurting now. Lucky that I don't work on Wednesdays.
I am getting ready to pay my electric bill off. I've got to load the money on my Paypal card on Friday so it's there on Saturday. Will then pay it off Saturday morning.
Looking forward to August so I can get cracking on my to-do list. I've got w/c 17th August off work so I can have a productive week.
I've got a mystery shop lined up for a week on Saturday. There is no fee but it's a free meal so will save on the food budget a bit.
