?? Going to do a spreadsheet for my ebay

Another spreadsheet - you go girl - I am so bad at working out paypal charges etc, do they have a formula on there, so I could work it out in advance?

What's this about not doing as well as you had hoped. You now owe closer to £70k and when you started you owed closed to £80k - thats fantastic in my book :T

Do you have a diary, mine has made a massive difference to the momentum of keeping it going as it is too easy to keep burying my head.

IMD I took the plunge, you're right these boards are great for help, suggestions and bum kicking!!!

ooh looks like another diary I'll have to subscribe to then

Kind of busy today but got disrupted by other people. Was busy doing spreadsheets and there was grumbling in the background about house being messy, ****hole we live in, no one does anything apart from me..............so I had a mood induced clean and it now looks sparkling! OH did lots of lovely food but made a complete mess of the kitchen in the process, which of course he didn't notice.

Did ebay spreadsheet, think I'm selling things too cheaply although at a profit so is a learning curve and will up the prices just a little to make it more worthwhile.

Did budget, we are in the red by about £150 which I am confident I can make up via ebay. This includes OH's unexpected trip to Dentists, £100 extra needed for car insurance, charity cheque for something I'm doing (long story....) and kids' extra activities that I wasn't even aware they were doing! Part of me grinds that had it not been for these extras then it is more off the debt but ho hum, life must go on.

You are of course all right about my signature, it is going down not up and next month it should hopefully be even nearer to £70k! OH has a bonus coming soon which we will also put towards the debt.

Off to iron now *yawn* and hopefully be back later to catch up with everyone x

Clean House - no debt busting

My house is a MESS, need to do some washing (including of myself!) and DH made din-dins too, using all the pots!

But I have listed loads and loads

Do you ever just wish for a stress free life, holiday completely alone without spouses, children, dogs, cats, hamsters and fish.

Or simply a night without:-

a trip to A&E only to get there to find everything is fine (after organising emergency childcare and leaving said children in tears) and also paying £5 for the car park without even going anywhere.

the dog chewing the carpet/rug, eating food meant for others off the side

the bath overflowing because some k**bhead left it running

the kids moaning/whining/whinging about the fact that they have to go to bed but can't find it due to the damn amount of toys on said bed/floor/landing despite claiming it was tidy when they left it :wall:

me screaming at some moving object for being useless/untidy/naughty...

Aaaaaaarggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What a difference a few hours make - I may check myself into a hospice just for a break.....
