Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

debtbegone

Morning (just!) Hoping to make it another NSD today, chicken sandwich for lunch I tidied out the big freezer last night so I know exactly what's in there, including what looks like a million corn-on-the-cobs for some reason!

Couldn't find the pay in envelope so will have to wait till tomorrow to get the money paid in, have made a £1 pad and checked my accounts and whatnot, so I suppose all that's left for me just now is to actually get some work done

:j My flask arrived :j

Going to have some of my soup for lunch tomorrow with a slice of bread, woop! The internet connection is really dodgy in my room and I need some peace and quiet to fill out some forms I need the net for, which I'm not going to be able to get at all tonight, tv's blaring in the sitting room, people in and out of the kitchen :mad: I really can't wait to have some of my own space back again

Was another NSD today so rather pleased with that and another of my small ebay items has a bid on it

I might do a couple of item write-ups so they're ready to whack on ebay at the weekend since I can't get any peace!

Really busy day at work today but even still it seems to be passing sooooo slowly probably because I'm having a carp day - it's making me want to pig out and treat myself

Have signed up to the 100 day challenge - home-brought lunches, some exercise every day and no buying random stuff off the internet, wish me luck!

I'm going to subscribe to your diary, because the thing that keeps me motivated is reading about other motivated people

You're doing really well so far, I'm as bad as you for buying food! It's like my kryptonite, I'll do everything by the MSE book, but small spends are what cripples me! (Well... they must be... either that or I'm poorer than I thought :rotfl:)

Good luck!
And keep up the not-buying-dinner!

Hi Zar!

Thanks for popping in I always start off really well, last about two weeks, then it's all back to square one - so if you kick me I'll kick you :rotfl: Saw you had a diary floating about too, will pop over and say hello in a minute

I've done my "exercise" for today, made my pad, not bought lunch or crap and have my lunch ready for tomorrow, a bit of a random one as I really wanted some cold meat but there's none in sooooo I'm having cereal and a tub of custard

Cannot believe it's Friday again tomorrow, I must be getting old as the time seems to fly by now:eek:

Yepyepyep, I'm exactlyyyy the same as you girl!
Stick to something for 2 weeks, a month at the most and then... *!!!!!!!* its all gone and back to square one!
With weight and money that is too!
Yeah cheers, I'm just about to go and update now.
Hope you're alright, I've subscribed to your thread, so it'll tell me if you've posted, if you haven't posted in a while I'll come and bump you!

Morning!

I've got another busy day at work so won't have much time to spend money on silly things (or do much else really once I get started on stuff) Actually really looking forward to my cereal and custard lunch and have made my pad.

Zar, I've subscribed to your thread too, surely two motivated people can keep each other plodding away at the small stuff to make the big differences

Oohhh, free ebay listing day on Sunday, better get the stuff I'm not sure will sell all photographed and written up ready for listing then

*sneaks back to work*

Hello DBG! I'm at college today, so just thought I'd check in with you!
Well done! on the no spends, I'm doing okay, not quite as well as you, but you can read full details of that later when I've put my daily post up :A

Ooh the free ebay listing day sounds good, I've sold a few bits on there today and last night, only made about £11 in total, it'll probably cost more than that to post :mad:
Whats with this no P&P charge thing they've got going on? Its not fair!

Hope you're okay!

Hope you're not stressing out too much zar!

The new no p&p is a pain in the blooming butt, I tend to whack on stuff on the free listing days that I'm not sure if it will sell or not, but always list stuff at the minimum I would take for it, even when paying for listing, that way even if I have just one bid it's not so bad!

I didn't have a nsd today, bought myself a sneaky can of fizzy pop after work and put the change in my purse into a charity collection tin

Really cannot be bothered making my lunch tonight but I WILL do it, right after posting here, since starting this mini diary/challenge I've probably saved myself at least £25 by taking my lunch to work to me that's quite a bit, yeay!

Oh, then I'll get my 15mins of dancing and step- nearly forgot that already, whoops!
