Time to sort out the debt * 8 weeks on *

a_j_mair

Had to spend a little on cc as took mother in law out for her birthday dinner.
managed to do some overtime to pay most of it

student loan is nearly all gone

would have paid off more debt last week but was my daughters 1st birthday so had to spend a little money at the weekend

managed to make her a nice swing which cost me nothing

Also got myself a post office cc which in 0% for 12 months

Should probal add the bank of mum and dad which i owe approx £500 plus £280 for new driveway gates

the £500 is mostly a planning application for our new house and some new windows for the garage

I am going to see a wee job tonight which will hopefully be a bit of extra cash

Also started to save a little in a tin every week for a special lady

Well i went to see a wee job last night that will hopefully pay half the gates, need to do plenty overtime this week to try and pay for the other half

heres a pic of the swing

cant seem to post pictures

Hi AJ

Glad things are going pretty well so far and you are keeping on track. Good news about the 0% card and the swing.
Have you actually managed to cut up the CCs yet? Or are you leaving them at home at least?

(you can't post links until you have a certain number of posts (not sure how many) and a picture would count as a link).

still have 2 RBS one with nothing i am keeping for emergencys
other getting cut up when £650 is paid off

then just the post office one to tackle

have some terry towling nappies we have never used and a changing table that we are needing to list on ebay, im going to check for any books that might be worth anything at the folks aswell and see about trying to sell them

hopefully help with the insurance

Is my birthday on friday aswell so hopefully get some nice presents, better not sell them mind

Depending on the types of books you are selling you could also consider amazon and green metropolis.

Did you read Martins article on car insurance? and how to get the cheapest quote (red tab at the top of the page). Also don't forget to look if you can earn cashback from quidco - doesn't help your immediate cashflow but may as well earn it if its available.

never been on any of them, il have a look at them tonight

found a couple books in the loft when i cleared it out a couple months ago, will try see if they are worth anything

also found some old motorbike magazines from 1960-70 again not sure if they are actually worth anything

have just emailed a planner with regards to the property I rent out next door.

It sits on a corner so has a large garden to the side, enquirying to see if there would be any chance of getting permission for a 2 bed house

Could get permission then sell it on

Not really sure if it is viable or at all possibile yet but asking the question
