Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

  • Hi DBG

    I managed 7 listing on ebay on sunday, seem to have a few items being watched so hopefully.

    I have also started my very own little diary so I don't have to keep hijacking yours. - Will still read and post though :-)

    I had homemade pasta salad today which was yum.

    Duckie
    To be figured out!

    Hope your items are going ok duckie! Will have to pop over to your diary and say hi, doing this has really made me evaluate a lot of things moneywise and keep track of what I'm doing :)

    Today I've remembered to cancel the experian membership and am currently listing away on ebay again, so really shouldn't be here :o

    Spend day yesterday, put fuel in the car but another nsd today :D I'm allowed one more spend day before the end of the month :eek:

    Need to remember to call up internet provider and ask for my mac key, that'll shave a tenner off my internet per month!

    Have just transferred £50 from paypal to my bank - all profit, well "profit" from selling my own treasures :rotfl:Internet banking is being stoopid right now, but I think when that's through I'll be out of my overdraft :j my od charges and phone bill due out on the 31st will probably put me back into it though :o but I'm so nearly there, and then I can get started on getting shot of the credit card :T

    Ooohh, also managed to get an invite for one of the shopping scanning places, it's going to be so much fun! And need to properly get into writing reviews.

    Have my moneymaking / moneysaving head on tonight and it's buzzing with ideas, need to put them into action though!

    Hope everyone's well and set for a good weekend :)

    Thanks for the p!necne info purple, I'm not a member so had a hunt around and have applied, fingers crossed :)

    I'm busy ebaying away today myself, not so easy when people in the house are winding you up :( they've put me in a right mood and I was so motivated when I sat down to list, but it's got to be done so I'm pressing on regardless! Sold another couple of small items yesterday but as I'm only adding to the world cup total when it goes from my paypal to paying off the debt it won't get counted for a while, doh!

    Right, back to ebay or I'll never get it done :o

    Just popping in, sold another couple of small items today :) have been paid for 2, waiting on payment for another 2 and have bids on a few too :j

    Am keeping up with jpj, really need to get review writing but by the time I sit down to go do some I just can't get myself motivated :(

    Was also a spend day today so tues-fri need to be nsd's to make my target. Have enough fuel in the car to last so need to keep ontop of taking my lunch to work and I should be good :dance:

    Going to go write at least one review since I've got some peace & quiet at the mo :)

    :doh:Have scuppered my attempt to reach 25 nsds in January, woops! Going to try get a few more in before the end of the week.

    Having a busy and slightly carpy time at work over the past week so keep missing writing here every couple of days, don't want to drop off the moneysaving/making wagon so need to post everyday (even if it is just mindless waffle, it'll keep me on track)

    If the buyers of three items on ebay pay up I'm going to be very close to getting another £50 payout from my paypal into my bank :j don't think many (if any) of the other items I've got listed will sell though :( fingers crossed.

    Apart from that, just keeping up with all the little things, hoping the £££'s start rolling in, instead of out :rotfl:

    Why oh why do I have to keep logging into ebay to see how my auctions are doing?! It's only pennies not pounds but I still have to check every hour. Must stop endless procrastinating and actually get stuff done!

    Oooohh, new month :)

    I had great plans for listing on ebay over the weekend, but everytime I go to do something someone else in the house decides to get in my way. I'm really struggling with the whole living at home thing at the moment and it's zapping all my motivation. Hopefully not too long until moving out time, but I really want to be making headway into the debt by then, which I can't do if I'm not motivated :wall:

    Anyhoo, have a tenner coming in from quidco and should have that elusive other £50 from ebay/paypal through before the end of the week too :j Keep on feeling like it's 3 forward 2 back all the time :o Away with work this month too and I've got zero spending money :( suppose I'm really just feeling sorry for myself and letting lots of stupid small things get to me and grind me down.

    I'll try better this month, pinkie promise!
