Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

Yeay! Got more than 5 items on ebay today, all small value stuff but it's all I have left Have emptied my small change into my tin and taken photos of more stuff for ebaying over the next week (I can only manage small doses of listing )

Going to go and get my lunch ready for tomorrow, if I don't do it now it won't get done

well done, i managed 4 new listing today then had enough.

Good luck for the week! i'm aiming to stay away from spar, its my downfall these days.

Well done on the new listings purple, ebay is really dragging for me but it's the only way to sell stuff to make some dosh back so it's got to be done.

Spars in-shop made sandwiches are rather good and then there's the magazines and cakes :rolleyes: I've been asking for magazine subscriptions for Christmas, I'd be buying them anyway, but this way I'll get a nice sub sign up gift too and won't have to pay for any of it

Hope you have a good week too (keep away from spar )

Have made my lunch (a pate sandwich and what's left of the home baking ) Looked out my cook books to find some yummy soup recipes for when I get my thermos

Going to go have a gander round the os board too and see what I can find there, then bed ready for another week of work.

Argh! Really struggling today. I'm craving some fizzy juice but only have water & ribena at work.

Must.not.go.to.shop. (breath and repeat)

Managed to avoid it and feel rather good about it! Have made my lunch ready for tomorrow, all the baking's gone though. Think I might do a baking tomorrow night, I use to do quite a bit of baking but my parents got a new cooker and I really don't like the oven maybe a traybake will suffice, will see what's in the cupboards.

Made my pad- including a minimum payment to one of my cards. Completely forgot to post the letter though, it's at the top in my bag so I don't forget tomorrow!

Doing well I see !

Thanks lee - early days though!

Think I'll be ok with resisting the shop today, not having any stoopid cravings

Have made my pad into the jar, have bids and watchers on some of the ebay items listed at the weekend. I'm also owed £25 for stuff I bought for my parents online (they have no computer skills whatsoever) so will hopefully get that over the next few days and put it straight into the bank.

cc letter has been posted, here's hoping they're a bit quicker sorting it out now :mad:

Also found my notification of £1 per day overdraft charges - it kicks in on the 6th December. To get me just out of my overdraft by then I need the equivalent of £7.70 a day, ideally it should be a tenner a day to give me a little buffer, I have nowhere near that much to sell and works slow right now so pay will be low over the next wee while too, what to do

have you thought of doing the free scratch cards? if you're not already doing them. They've netted me about £10 odd each month since the start of this year, which isn't much but is much better interest than i could have gotten for a 20sec investment of a tenner. Plus it will help you going forwards.
good luck with your challenge

Thanks LemonTree. I was doing them but had lapsed for a while. Got back into them a few weeks ago, and was also playing some of the arcade games too with my "winnings" unfortunately I went to change my card details (ones registered were old) and they froze my account because "You were only playing the free scratchcard" :rolleyes:

So I don't know if there's anyway I can get back into doing them.

I'm playing a bit of BP again, though withdrawls & winnings seem to have gotten more difficult since I was last there. I suppose I really need to see if I can increase my wages in any way over the next few weeks to really be able to make a dent in anything

Just having my lunch now, sausage sarnie

debtbegone

I made masses of soup last night in prep for my flask coming and to use up some veg that needed using, trying to get all thrifty! So am going to freeze it in individual portions just now and make myself my lunch for tomorrow.

NSD today :j and if I manage not buying lunch tomorrow it'll be a whole working week of home-brought lunches I've not managed a whole week in a row before!

Got the £25 I'm owed, need to have a tidy of my desk to find the pay in envelopes for my bank so I can put it in there right away to go towards the overdraft. There were a couple of £2 coins in the depths of my purse (under all the receipts :rotfl:) that got thrown in my sealed tin, they're always a nice surprise when you come to a piggy bank that's mostly full of small change
