Good luck with e bay.

Thanks Taxi.

In other news...with the £7 left in my purse before payday I went out for a coffee with my best friend tonight. We haven't seen each other in nearly 6 weeks due to her children being ill/me going to the Emerald Isle etc. so it was lovely. £5 down, £2 to go, but I don't think I'll spend it before tomorrow morning, so that's ok!

Have promised her to have written a cover letter and ammended my CV before I go to bed, so I had best skidaddle.

Just been paid and have also noticed that a cheque for £30 which I wrote three weeks or so has only been cashed. With everything that's going on, I forgot to take that into consideration, so I'm £30 down straight away. I really need to keep tabs on things like that. Grr! :mad:

Ah well, slight dips into ODs payed back off. The rest is, as they say, will sort itself out. Ish.

In good news, today was a NSD. Not like it's necessary, or anything...;) I have a few pounds left in my purse after last night and I was sorely tempted to buy a chocolate bar with the money on my lunchbreak, but I held firm and didn't. This is good for both my purse balance and my waistline. This shall have to continue (although, thinking about it, I can't congratulate myseld too much as one of the girls at work brough in some Celebrations and I seem to remember a few of them crawling their way down my throat. ). Still, it's better than nothing.

I've been thinking about how I'm going to have to approach this month, and it is essentially a case of not going too made and thinking 'sod it' and dipping madly into the overdraft with a heady sense of gay abandon since the finances are so up the creek. I think I will try to set myself a limit of £20/week spends as, unfortunantely, there are things I am definitely going to need, and try to come in as far udner it as possible. I will leave my cards at home and only take £20 out with me each week, and if I need more than that, then it will have to come out of the next week's £20, until there are not more £20 left. Harsh, but it should work (I can always put the next £20 in my purse if I get near the end of the last one and am likely to need anything, and cards can be used in emergancies. Of course, I have Quidco money to come, as well as hopefully Ebay money, so I will have to use them carefully, and it may still be worth my while to pay them off the CC and essentially 'live' out of my OD as it's interest free and makes it easier for me to keep my head in a strict 'can't go mad else they charge me' kind of way.

This month could be very, very interesting. I shall watch with interest

Cheers again. Had another NSD (apart from the course fees for nails) and got a free pedicure thrown in. Bliss! The downside is learning that there is much more than I had anticipated to be bought for the course, including one piece which will cost me at least £70! :eek: Was at work til late last night, then after nail course, then again tomorrow, so I will start to worry about Ebay when I'm over tomorrow, I think.

sounds like a good plan for the month hope it all goes 'to plan'. :beer:

Hi Pickle i bet you never thought a nail course could need so much stuff. Bet your nails are fab!! How are you?Xxxxx

There seems to be a lot of stuff needed for this nail course but at least you can use the stuff to make money later.
