well done facing up to your debts. Can i suggest that you look on freecycle.org for stuff for the house in future? It is stuff that is offered free, you just go and pick it up.
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

hi chev thank you for that will def be having a look to see what i can get.
i uploaded 24 items onto ebay just need to keep my fingers crossed that they all sell now!!!! have started getting bits ready for the next batch but think i will have to wait for these to end first or way too much to do with packing stuff up.

well day did not really go as well as expected work was a nightmare way too much to do and not enough time and too many other people who dont even seem to know what their job is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok mini rant over..........ebay got a few more watchers just debating whether to start on my handbag collection as really only use about four bags so over 50 is just stupid but on the other side just feel like curling up in front of the tele with my cat..........maybe a glass of wine...............oh no must make more money can chill when i am a lot nearer my target.
ok off to the cupboard i go.........hi ho hi ho.

handbag sorting not really a sucess want to keep them all!!!!!!!!! maybe will put some in a box and then if i dont use them for a while then sell them. chq should be clear tommorrow so can pay another 100 off the cap 1 card and have done a little bit of part time work so should get another 100 from that.
big wait for payday though to pay off more, am off to london on saturday to go and see Oliver (didnt pay for ticket) but guess will need some cash as we are there all day just dont want to take any out of my account.
also meant to be going dog racing tom night with work we have entry for 1p including food which is a bargain but will need to limit any other spending as trying to only buy basics for the rest of the month.
on good news sorted out a cupboard last night and have found a few boxes of cards for birthday etc......so now should not need to buy any cards for about 3 years as have loads and lots of blank ones for all occasions.

ok so paid off 57.61 on my cap1 card and hoping to do another 100 in a weeks time so getting there slowley but surely. mini challenge is going ok but will look a lot better on pay day as i think about 400 will be paid onto debts then some more in december so might just make it.........but i figure if i dont it will still be very close and i still should be happy with the amount.
also will have ebay sales to come off but have no idea how much i will get from that but hoping for about 100. need to take more photos for next batch but busy weekend so will have to wait till monday.

very tired after long weekend away but went all round london and didnt spend any money at all so very happy with that. ebay all due to end tommorrow have a few bids but lots of people watching so bid bid bid!!!!!!!
have sorted oout another bag of things to put on so going to try to do that tonight (hopefully) have also sorted out more car boot things although think i may need a van not a boot with the amount i have got stored.
have had a bit of a stress this morning on the debt side went into small mini panic of oh my god how am i ever going to do this...........but feeling a bit better now i know i have already paid a good amount off just dont feel like the amounts are changing think it has just been a really long month, have worked out spending amounts for the next 6 months and it will be tight but if i can be clear of both cc by then the loan is not as bad.
still waiting for xmas ideas from my bro as i only need to get his gift now very glad i was so organised this year normally all my dec pay goes on pressies so no moneythen till the end of Jan.

ebay is all done sold 11 out of 24 things and made 131 pounds i think the monsoon dress helped a lot with that! have relisted the other bits and def going to put some more on tonight if i can get close to that amount again then will be clearing the cc in a flash!!!! (wont have any clothes left though).
went to the cinema to see 2012 last night oh paid, was very good hope not really going to happen though especially as it will be my first year of being sebt free!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there, if you're off to London, look at some of the 2 4 1 offers and things- some are pretty good

And the freecycle is ace! my big bro moved into his first flat on his home (helped out by MIND) and didnt have any furniture or anything; went on freecycle and people are throwing out really good stuff; they dont have time to Ebay it so just advertise; We got him a massive tv, computer desk, sofa and chairs and other bedroom furniture all for just going and picking it up! just make sure if going that you take someone with you (always best to be safe
) I've been putting lots of my chunkier stuff on freecycle too as think its good karma!
You do get a lot of emails so best to set up a seperate ebay account for it, that way you can purge it easier!!!!
Keep going with the debt busting! You're doing so well- and with the 58 days challenge you've set it should keep your eye on the prize
KP xxFirst home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!0
