Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

debtbegone

Well I managed 13 new items on ebay yesterday plus relists :j very happy with myself at that, got watchers and bids on a few already so yeay!

Working long shifts all this week, Saturday included, so I don't know when I'll have the time to do anymore!

Need to be cracking on with my own work right now, then early to bed, early to rise which should make a girl healthy, wealthy, and wise. In reality I think it's just knackering me out :rotfl:

I've jiggled my signature around a wee bitty so I can get the hbos total in there and watch it come down

Not doing too well on the no spending front, which is going to have to seriously improve if I'm going to reach my target of 15! And my £5 a day will be getting a boost at the end of the week when auctions have ended and overtime gets paid.

Right now I've got millions of work I should be doing instead of browsing t'internet

I'm still doing really bad on not spending, it's all stuff for me to eat at lunch too :mad: If I was a bit wiser I'd be doing better!

I've got myself two wee pork pies for my lunch and I'll take a bottle of water with me too (need to cut back on the fizzy juice yet again )

So tired today, all this extra work is knackering me out. From working part-time job I'm working the equivalent of a full time AND a part-time job ontop of my own work and moneymaking. The thought of kicking the hbos card's butt is keeping me moving, but only just!

It's a good job I have no life right now

I get tired just reading about how much work you do! you must be tired but it'll all be worth it in the end

Started work at 9 this morning and I'm just finishing up just now This week's really taken the stuffing out of me, think I might be asked to cover extra next week too but I'm going to see if I can just do 2 extra shifts, give me some time to get on with my own stuff that I need to catch up on!

Sorry for tiring you out :rotfl:I'm going to try keeping the whole lot of it up for as long as I can to blast away the debt then get saving. Was doing wee calculations and if I can keep going at this pace I'll be cc and student loan debt free this time next year! If that's not incentive to get stuck in I don't know what is.

Have more watchers and bids on ebay stuff, and custom pieces for my auntie for Christmas, but those need to be finished pretty sharpish as she's adding stuff to them after they're done. Don't think I'll get my long lies this weekend!

Payday tomorrow, can't wait to get some dosh paid off the hbos.

Need to majorly thank you for your note on the £10 a day thread, I've got me some surveys to be doing soon :beer:

Purpleroses

ohh did you apply for p!nec0ne? I Love them!! best survey site by far. you get vouchers at first but after a couple of surveys you can change to be paid via paypal.

Debt free within a year sounds fab!! The way you're going it sounds like you'll make it no prob!

Hope you have a nice weekend

I did, and got accepted Thank you! I liked l!ghtspe*d too, but kept getting thrown off halfway through a blooming survey so I changed the email address I was getting them sent to and haven't checked my account in donkeys, oops!

If I can keep up the momentum I should be. Have decided today that I'm going to treat myself to a season of the Gilmore Girls for each £500 I pay off. They're down to £68ish total on Amazon right now, were way more than that when I bought them (and sold them after watching once) but I love it so much and and missing it now that I'm out to work. I think weeny treats like that will stop me from going on massive splurges, so that's the plan for the first three and a half grand!

Was playing about with the figures again and if I manage my aim to be shot of evil hbos by the end of January, and can rake together a grand a month for payments, I'd be rid of all the cc's by July. I'm getting around £750pm from the pt jobs so in theory it should be achievable, practice might be a bit tough though!

Bet you're so excited to see your total shooting down :T Hope you have a fab weekend too

Purpleroses

yeah i'm a bit fed up of l!ghtspeed. You're never not accepted for pc surveys! actually I was once, only answered 3 questions but still got paid.

Its surreal to have only a few hundred left to pay. i'm ebaying like a mad woman, really want it cleared by xmas now instead of new year!

It's good to treat yourself now and then! if you manage your money well there's no reason not to!

I'm having a quiet weekend in, saving my pennies for xmas. Hope you have a good weekend too

debtbegone

Awesome, can't wait till they start sending me them then

I'm sure you'll get that lot cleared before christmas no problem! It was a wee bit of relaxing time for me last night, some wine and the x-factor :rotfl:but right back to working again for me today, need to keep the dosh rolling in!

*confession time* I hardly got any work done today at all, I've mostly moped about, kinda watched some tv, and spent most of today curled up in my pjs trying to keep warm

Did get a teeny weeny bit done but nowhere near the amount that I wanted to.
