  • Hullo hullo!! :hello:

    eBay update: got 10 things bid on and the rest have watchers and the earnings are currently £21.73!!:j Still a bit of time left!!!

    Just got in from work, was a pretty good night!! Unlike last night:rolleyes: , worked (that isn't even the right word!!) with the limp lettuce! And he was just a !!!!!!!!:mad: Oh well, don't have to work with him at all next week! So that's good!!:D

    Day job have confirmed overtime so I'm working on Saturdays 1st and 8th July. Hopefully will earn about £100 after tax etc. Not great rates but better than nowt! Just means that next week I won't have a day off at all as I'm working Sunday at the pub:o Oh well, not long now til the holiday!!! 22 days!!!:D :j :D (not that I'm counting of course!:p )

    Tomorrow I have got a day off so going to have a MEGA blitz of the flat, I have been inspired by the Flylady Challenge over on the OS board! Not sure how it will go but I'm armed with my vinegar and bicarb along with microfibre cloths!!:rotfl: I'm hoping I'll find a few more things to sell on eBay in amongst all the junk!!

    Pay day tomorrow!!! :j Debts coming down again then!:cool:

    Not much else really to report!! Just that things are plodding along this week!! Only spent 50p too! Not bad!

    Take care and chat soon xx

  • Hey guys!!! ......................................................................................... Thanks for the encouraging thoughts!! I did indeed clean and organise like a mad one this weekend and the flat is better for it!! Still got a few bits to do but not urgent and can be done in the evenings before I go on hol- 17 days to go!! :j .......................................................................................... I made just over £65 on eBay yesterday!!! :D That will be coming off the debts!! Woo hoo!!! Sending all the parcels tomorrow along with my mobile phone which I am sending to envirophone and hope to get £5.99 for it. Although in two minds as to whether I should sell it on eBay or not :think:..... I have got some GHD straighteners which blew up on me which I have to send off too, hopefully will get a new pair as apparently they are slightly faulty- first batch that were made. Not bad if I can! :p............................. Am working 7 days this week and probably next week too :o all pennies come in handy though, and it's not too bad as off on hol's the week after. (have I already mentioned that?!!! :p).............................................................. Take care and I will update later in the week. Aiming to spend as little as possible this week, although got to send the straighteners, and I have a friend coming round for dinner on Thursday night (she wanted to go out but I offered a meal at mine!! :D ) and I'm going out for a meal on Friday night with my friend, it is a lush chinese restaurant and it is £13.49 for all you can eat so I will know exactly how much I am spending on food. I saved £9.50 out of my allowances (pocket money :p) for last week and I underspent on my food shopping by just under a £5er so that's the food covered. And the drinks will be covered by whatever I have left out of my pocket money this week. Still got £10 so far, but then it is only Monday!!!............................................ Adios for now amigos!!! xx

    No!!! It's the way I manage my money and it works for me!! No cards, just a tenner cash in a jar every Sunday for the next week and I can only spend what is in the jar!! That is my allowance! Totally separate from bills and food and I can use it for what I want! Generally try and save it up to do things I want to do like go out for dinner Friday night!! :D

    Well remember to take a doggy bag to the chinesse with you. You might be able to get a few weeks meals out of it! ;)
