Ellie's DF Diary

I've just been reading through. Good luck with the journey. There will always be horrible dark days and one day can be great and the next horrible, but you WILL get there.

Glad you had a better day - long may it continue!

Fantastic news about sky! That really is a phenomenal difference a month - Not long to wait and you'll see the savings!!

Bet your OH is well chuffed. So glad he's secured some jobs. Looks like everythings on the up and up? :T

Also glad to see no more ridiculous offers on ebay :rotfl:

Shopping for the week £32.59 so that's about £6 down on last weeks - seem to have everything that we need. We didn't eat too badly last week so let's hope that we can keep this up!

We have managed to find enough money to keep the business going for the rest of this month.

Next challenge is to find enough for Car, Gas & Elec, Council Tax, Virgin CC & Barclaycard - this is going to be tough as in total we need £665.89 :eek: but OH has a few jobs this week which come to roughly £575 so need another £90!!!

Going to rummage through to see what else I can put on ebay, got loads of books on Green Metropolis but no takers.

Its a fee free ebay listing day tomorrow, which might save a few more pennies!

I know how you feel with the dark clouds coming and going, almost minute by minute for me, but it feels good to be facing up to things properly and doing something about it!

Keep your chin up!

Was just going to say it is a free listing day on Ebay tomorrow (Sunday) for Private sellers listing in Auction format, you can check out what is included and what's not on the Announcement section.

I'm hoping to get a lot done, haven't started yet so might be up late tonight.

Good luck with everything and I'm glad your OH has got some work.

Thanks to you all for your positive comments, they do help me to keep motivated:T

I have made full use of the free listing day on ebay and managed to list 16 new items and 9 re-lists. This week I have made £178.47 :j

Another bill paid for this month without using the dreaded CC - next one due at the weekend:eek:

Well done! Hows things coming along?

Having another panic today:eek: - trying to get enough money together to pay the last of the bills for the month.

OH is working for the rest of this week so this will go towards paying everything.

I had to laugh yesterday, he went to look at a job where the lady wanted her garden decked and flagged but only wanted to pay £100 tops! What planet do these people live on? He finds that many of the jobs that he goes to see people are so unrealistic about cost:rotfl:

Off to post my parcels for ebay and then going to work through the National Debtline pack and try to decide whether a DMP is going to be the best way forward... I can't go on with the stress that I'm under:eek:
