Well happy Monday to all!

how strange - I don't know what happened to yesterday's post? Suffice it to say it was a big long list of things -most of which I did

Logged onto dooyoo today to find I got another crown which was lovely (and extra points!)

Have been to bingo this afternoon as it was cheap day - and won 2 houses so came away with £50 profit - nice! I think it is karma giving me a little helping hand!

Picked up a few bits at Tesco and used a couple of vouchers so saved £1

Have pasta and ratatouille planned for tea and the rest of the evening need to finish my work.

Did stacks of work last night. Had another AF day yesterday and made tea. Just made more bread , more work today and am about to get a bath before SW class. Must make SW carrot cake before I go as it is taster night

Ebay listings looking good most things have bids or watchers

All for now

Lemon_Tree

hope your taster night went well at SW. sounds like you're going great guns with ebay

geranium72

Well sold some items on ebay and listed a load more

Have cleared £17 profit so far after fees etc and more to come hopefully!
Dod a dooyoo review and just about to go and do the gfk surveys and some toluna - if I qualify

Had a massive delivery from approved foods and stocked up on cat food from supermarket while on offer so should be ok for a few weeks now

More ebay sales - another £32.50 profit

Did a MS shop and a few bits on surveys - waiting for a toluna voucher and nearly at a valued opinions one

Free film last night and didn't buy drinks sweets and ice cream

It's funny - I have now become obsessed with debt busting and have been looking at the next 2- 3 years ahead and planning how the debt is going to go down

Does anyone ever look back and think - what was I thinking running up all that debt - where did I think the money was coming from?

I have had a great realisation today that if all goes to plan I will never owe this much again and I will clear it all. I think until now - ever since being a student - I have just treated debt as something we have and there is no option

I know that is not so now

Morning Geranium
I look back and recall not thinking much at all. Total denial about what I was doing. I don't think I understood. In the late 80's when we bought our first flat we rented a van and furnished it entirely on our CC ! Sofa, bed, fridge! Crazy ! I was on a very good wage had just turned 19. I just didn't have a clue.

Sigh talk about learn from our mistakes.....

Thanks DC - I think you are right

I also think a lot of us on here have very addictive personality types - I don't include people who got in debt through ilness or losing a job but those of us who did it through overspending, gambling, drinking etc.

That's also probably why those type of people are extremely good at the debt busting once they get a grip - it's replacing the addiction for an altogether financially healthier one - just my musings.................

Anyway - onwards and upwards

Off to work soon - need to make lunch to take

I'm definitely addicted to the debtbusting side of it.......it is a bit of on obsession. Not always a good one because if I DO spend money on anything frivilous, I feel very bad about doing so when the money could have reduced the debt a bit.

also, I know my OH would prefer me to cut the debtbusting slack a bit so we could spend some of the money I currently make on MSE stuff on doing nice things rather than paying the debt a bit more

I just keep saying - next year we can do the fun stuff......
