Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

Yup, I think slow and steady's the way to go. I'm trying to do 5 a day, so far I'm managing but we'll see what I'm like next week.

Oohh, well done! I find it so hard to chuck/donate items that have been on over and over again at a 99p start, I always have a little *but maybe this time* in the back of my head so they get kept in my neverending "Box for ebay"

I think I need to have another root around my room for bits as I'm sure I can be far more ruthless than I have been, don't want to take loads of stuff to the new place that's not going to get used or appreciated, and I think I'm actually growing up a wee bit now aswell as there's stuff I loved just over a year ago that if I saw in a shop today I wouldn't buy it at all.

Could do with getting the OH's butt in gear with sorting out his stuff to ebay (and charge him 20% too for my troubles!) Knowing him, he'll not end up sorting a thing, "necessary" stuff will be moved to the new place and his room in his parents will still be full to bursting with "stuff" :rotfl:Men

Didn't manage to get any listing done today, or any prep for it either as I've been swamped under doing extra hours at work, a few items sold though, just waiting for payment and I'll get them posted.

Did finally manage to get the direct debit changed though *I think* need to phone to check and confirm it. Phoneline is going in sometime in the next week in the house we're moving to so I'm going to search out what the best deals for t'internet are in the area we're in

Need to make my quarter tank of petrol last me till Wednesday. I reckon if I drive carefully and only do necessary trips I could manage it, no I WILL manage it!

Plan for tomorrow is to get at least 5 items onto ebay, plan for now is to go to bed cos I'm blooming knackered!

I didn't get any listings done either, just didn't have the energy. will do some tonight. man i remember friday nights used to be about going out not listing everything i own on ebay!!

Hope you have a good weekend!

I feel a bit lost in life really, mostly due to the debt hanging round my neck. I've not "grown up" enough to fit in with the married/parent friends and I've got no dosh to do the stuff the rest do

Didn't manage to get anything onto ebay yesterday, had a bit of a crap day overall really. Today will be different though! I'm having a tidy up of my room (and maybe starting to pack a few bits and pieces up ready for the move) and I AM going to list five things on ebay and also resurrect my amazon account for all the books my sisters given me to flog!

Have a fab weekend too - hope the rain's managing to aviod you

Just finished listing the first one, bit of a long one that took ages to photograph and list. I'd been putting it off for ages though so I'm well happy I've finally got it done :j Now to crack on with at least another four

Managed to get the rest that I wanted to get listed today done before the battery packed out on the camera, got it on charge now but will leave the rest of the listing till tomorrow.

Well done! I think I'm probably going to go down that route with the oh's cd collection. He's got stacks that he doesn't listen to, only problem is there's noway I'm listening to some of his tripe music collection to check if it's working or not!

He's off at a stag-do today so I'm feeling a bit lost Saturday nights have become our "make a big dinner and pig out infront of csi new york and a dvd" night, usually head round to his about now but instead I'm going to be tidying my room

I can't believe how much "stuff" I manage to amass! I'm such a hoarder and get sentimentally attached to even the silliest little thing.

My tidying so far today has given me another mid-sized box of bits for ebay and I've got a box full of trinkety things all packed up too, ready for moving Think tomorrow will be a listing day, possibly get some more tidying and sorting done too. Right now I'm going to relax with a dvd, glass of wine and some chocolate, bliss!

I'm up and raring to go with the listing, unfortunately evryone in the house seems to want to move into the kitchen and get in my way as soon as I've started doing stuff, like they haven't had all ruddy morning to do what they're doing.

Going to persevere, the more I get listed, the more money I'll have and the sooner I'll be able to move (at least that's what I'm telling myself)

Have had enough of ebay now for today! Managed to get a few listings done amongst the chaos and one even has a bid already :j Ok, it's just a 99p start but it's promising
