Debtbegone's Debtbusting Diary

debtbegone

I forgot why I sleep in so late on a Sunday, the telly is utter rubbish! My thinking with Harry P was that with them having the panto on in Dec & Jan that they wouldn't be showing as many films, but I've just had a quick looksie and they've got films on every weekend till the 23rd (Disney's Christmas Carol!) Still hoping to get away for a wee weekend break before xmas though.

It's going to be an ebay day for me this afternoon, in front of the fire with a hot chocolate is the only way to spend a day like today! You going to keep up with your ebaying now you're debt free?

i've been rubbish with money making since getting debt free! no ebay, no surveys! Need to get back into it. must get back to listing on ebay this week!

debtbegone

Hope you've managed more listing than I have - zip!! I'm ashamed of myself! I've got a few bits that should be getting flung on asap cos they're perfect for the party season / current weather etc. One WILL go on tonight, apart from that it's work, work and more work

I haven't listed anything either. Full of a horrid cold so have had no energy to do any. must try tonight tho!

Helloooooo! Stalked you here from the Photo challenge thread - hope you don't mind! Sounds like you're really going to start cracking into that debt now - the multi-job thing you have going on is something I'm aiming towards at the moment, although it's less common to do that down here.

How's the eBay listing coming along?!

Hope your cold's better purple, this weather won't be helping any!

I've got the next two days off from work so a mini list is a must:

*List at least ten new items on ebay - 6 so far
*Sort out 8 of my own things - 1 so far
*Tidy up my room - to a reasonable state of "tidy" - kindof started
*Unpack two boxes - I re-decorated my room since I'm not going to be moving out for goodness knows how long now. It was finished probably about 2 months ago and most of my stuff is still in boxes
*Find phones for Tesco Recycling in one of said boxes, get them wrapped for posting
*Get ebay sold items ready for posting on Monday
*Figure out exactly how much I can put to the hbos card this week and pay it off - my spending is getting silly (well silly for me)
*Hunt out some bits online for the dad's big birthday - stuff will have to be ordered soon so it reaches in time - found a few wee bits, need to talk with sister before I buy anything
[STRIKE]*Do ebay re-lists[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]*Have a bath[/STRIKE]

Might possibly be added to if I remember anything else!

Added to my wee list already :rotfl:I've finished doing the re-lists and am about to jump in the bath while there's no-one at home so I've got a wee bit of peace before cracking on with the list.

Took photos for 20 items last night so I've made a start with the "list new items" task too.

Hi EH, didn't notice your post till now, was a tad on the tired side last night and I think we cross posted!

Don't mind stalking at all, as you might've guessed I did some when I saw your username I'm much more of a lurker than a poster on the boards.

The two part-times at the moment are giving me 26 hours, plus the weekends off and I'm really enjoying it so far, I would recommend it. I've managed to get the hours shifted around so I've got plenty of time each day to get my se work done too. Right now it's great until my "dream job" comes up it's giving me a bit of regular income so I can properly start hammering down my stupid debt and try and somehow get myself a wee runaround.

It started chucking down here yesterday and I don't have waterproofs at the moment so don't like cycling into work in the rain. The howling gales should be starting properly soon too and from where I'm cycling it's impossible in the wind (by the sea with a massive hill and a long climb to contend with) so my eyes are constantly in the small ads and notice boards in the supermarkets for something at the right price that won't guzzle the fuel like nobody's business (131.9 was the cheapest unleaded today)

On my to-do list front I've made some headway today, 6 new items on ebay, relists done, I've started tidying my room a bit and I'm about to unpack one of the boxes. It's got so cold now that I did spend quite a bit of time in front of the fire though, naughty me!

Hope you've had a productive day

Getting there slowly but surely with the list! Need to prioritise what's left on there so I'm going to whack four more items onto ebay, then get cracking with the wrapping items for posting.

It was finished probably about 2 months ago and most of my stuff is still in boxes 1 box unpacked, can't get the rest done until either the washing machine is free or I've got my cupboard back in from the shed and I don't want to risk that as out the back is still like a blooming ice-rink!

*Hunt out some bits online for the dad's big birthday - stuff will have to be ordered soon so it reaches in time - found a few wee bits, need to talk with sister before I buy anything - sister's still not home from partaying so can't do any buying bits, which means I can't properly figure out what I can put to the cards :mad:

Not too good on the list front this weekend, but I know if I hadn't done it I'd just have procrastinated some more! Going to get at least three more of my own things done before the x-factor then it's bed for me so I'm fresh for work in the morning.
