    Glad the shopping went well hun :T

    Dots I don't know if its possible for you, for extra money I managed to get a second job in a shop, two evenings a week (8 hours). After tax I take home £150 a month, its not ideal, but i'm used to it now and having that extra money is a big help x

    i have quite a bit to sift through that will make us some much needed e-bay money, however im only 12 days into the month and its a real struggle already, car needs some cash spending on it for a service and i have no spare cash, work is tough at the moment and sapping all my energy just to get through the day, im hoping to be able to sort through some stuff over this weekend to get some more bits listed on e-bay, i have 15 debts in total, some pretty smallish, 6 of these will be contractually paid off in 2010 anyhow and my goal is to pay off 5 mor, leaving 4 managable debts teh i can start throwing extra at these...my plans are there lol just need the money to make them happen

    Afternoon Dotty how are you?

    Good luck with the ebaying. I need to get a few bits listed too, I haven't done any for so long I feel really out of the swing of it. Must get my act together this week as I know as soon as the cash starts coming in I will be addicted once more lol

    hey all, been on a bit of a downer lately, seems like a never ending circle of rob peter pay paul then back round to peter again!! almost think at times ingrorance is bliss as once you face up to your debt and the reality of actually paying it all off it seems like a big mountain to climb, im already stressed about christmas for the kids and work totally getting me down at the moment, prob just feeling sorry for myself - sick of being skint all the time blah blah blah :(

    Hi i do have a plan, to be honest if i can scrape through the next 7 months or so even as things are now then i will be better off as a lot of my debts are smallish and some are contractually paid off in 2010, just seems a struggle at the moment and no matter how much you want to plan/save etc theres just not enough money at the moment for any of it - living day to day at the moment, i WILL never get myself in this mess once im out ever again !!
