  • Well item 1 on eBay has just ended at £15 which is cool (only bought it for £20). To my surprise I've also had a book sale today from Amazon (£3.18). My other eBay item ends later today and is currently at £32 which is great. All in all, Super Saturday has made be £50 and it's not even midday yet!

    Not 100% sure whether to put it towards debt yet - I know that's the sensible choice, but I've wanted to buy something particular for the last 4 months now and think I buy it using the money from sales it will mean I can 'treat' myself and relay any temptation to 'just spend' in order to buy it

    What a great day! Item 1 sold for £15, Item 2 sold for £49.99 (BIG surprise!!) then I had two book sales totalling £8! All in all a good day.

    (I may have spent it already on the latest gadget for the house - but at least I didn't use the credit card or dip into an overdraft - so I feel good about that!)

  • Another two books sold since my last update means that my selling over the last week have not completely paid for my little gadget treat (Apple TV) for myself! I know the money could have been saved, used to pay off debt etc. But I've wanted my gadget treat for ages now and I think I have earned it... I think?!

  • Quick 'check in' before I start some work for the evening - just made a lump sum payment to my credit card for £1149.32! Feels really good! Just been adding some changes to next month's spreadsheet and things are looking healthy! Will update more later... must get work done first though :(
