Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

Managed to get two new items listed tonight and a few relists. Going to get a few more bits on amazon just now before heading off to bed.
Don't have a clue who on earth I'm going to vote for tomorrow, none of our MP candidates stand out for me. All these politicians are all the same, out for themselves and a pile of nonsense to keep the public at bay. Don't want to not vote though, it's completely crazy to think that 100 years ago women my age were fighting for their right to have a say. Every time I think about suffragettes the song from Mary Poppins pops into my headThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

I know how you feel. I have no idea who to vote for and I feel I have to like you said, it would feel like sort of an insult to the women who fought for us to have this right. wow thats some deep thinking for 830 in the morning!0

Deep thinking indeed purple!
I was so busy with work yesterday I ended up leaving voting till quite late, but went and placed my cross all the same
Today's another busy day at work and I've ended up getting no items onto ebay in the last couple of days, got to get cracking today & tonight with work so I can spend the entire weekend ebaying and getting stuff on Amazon as the pile of stuff's increasing not decreasing :eek:The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Have had another spend day today
nothing too major but had to get a couple of Birthday Presents :cool:
Also got myself a new sealed coin tin, had to open mine to get all my £2 coins out so I didn't have to put anything on the cards at the end of last week until my pay came through this week. My reasoning for haing the tin is that I can't needlessly spend what's in it since you've got to have a can opener to get into it, but I've got a wee bit stashed away in case of emergencies like last weekso the £2 coins will be going back into there again if and when I get them!

Hehe, my sister's getting rid of a load of dvds, most of which I've not seen so I'm watching those while getting stuff sorted for ebay, then listing them when I'm done
I'm sorely tempted to stock up on supplies myself, but the dress I ordered for the weddings I've got this summer came (discount code from here made it just £24!) It fits me, it needs taking in in some places, but round the belly area (my major problem area) I could do with it being a wee bit looser/my stomach a wee bit slimmer, soooo the wii fit and water are back on the cards for me. Managed a a week and a half of it in April so surely I can push myself to shed a few pounds over the next few weeks!
It's quite frustrating though as when I'm on it I'm thinking I could be ebaying, and when I'm ebaying I'm thinking about exercising. . . .The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Spent the evening ebaying, I've still got at least 28 small items of my own to get listed, plus a mountain of stuff from my sister. Think I'm gonna be chained to the computer for as much of the weekend as possible.
Hope I get shot of most of it before the 100 limit comes into force in JuneThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Doh! My plan to ebay the weekend away went out the window
had no car and ended up stuck at the oh's house waiting for a lift today. Had planned to spend the whole of today ebaying and ended up getting nothing done at all
Managed a few yesterday but nothing massive so rather annoyed with myself.
Did have a few items end between yesterday and today though, and there's going to be around £75 profit once p&p's been paid for :j that means I'll have met my target for £5 a day, somehow! So I'm gonna up it and go the whole £10 a day hog, might keep me up with the ebay listing motivation, that and the fact that I don't want to haul lots of "stuff" that I don't need or use to the new place
And on that note I should get to bed so I can get up early enough so everything's packed in time for catching the right bus to the po in the morningThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

crikey you were up late!
I didn't get as many listed as i'd hoped. I went out on Saturday but it was pants and I kept thinking how i could be home listing! lol
Well done on the sales!! its defo a good motivator!0 -
Aww man! I feel so old when I (now very occasionally) go out, always ends up making me feel a bit weird, until I have quite a few beverages. Then the head and purse aren't happy the next day
Did you venture into town or out in the country? Think there was some random fighting in town (again) on Saturday night :rotfl:
I was nearly falling asleep at the computer last night. Was out at a friends watching 24, didn't get back till late then my mum and sis kept me up talkingNot feeling too tired today though so should be able to get a normal sleep tonight.
Just finished my dinner so I'm off to get listing again!The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
