    Hi CandyBlue and StarrySkies.

    I'm not a diet coke addict, but I am most certainly a coke addict. Was drinking about 3 or 4 tins a day, so have decided I'm allowed one a day and no more. Decided this about 2 days ago and the withdrawl symptoms are horrific.

    But CandyBlue I just wanted to say I'm with you on the 2010 being our year, I want to turn things around too and I've subscribed to your diary as I totally relate to all the things that you are saying.

    Have a great 2010.

    Lots of Love

    Thanks LexieLou I hope you have a fab year too!!

    This year has started off well, I have paid my £330 to CCCS, have £8.95 winnings on free bingo, found £1.50, bagged up £21 change and had 56p cashback paid and £1.25 interest paid to my PO account so already on the 1st Jan I have knocked off £363.26:D

    I have also made a resolution to do this list every day
    • List 5 items on eBay
    • List 1 item on Amazon
    • Play 10 games of free bingo
    • check two mystery shopping websites
    • List 5 items on greenmetropolis (until I run out of books)
    • Check vouchers and freebies thread
    So Im off now to start listing

    Happy New Year Candy Blue,

    Very impressive start. I paid £25 into bt HBOS OD and also my daily £1, plus 55p from a shoop that was cheaper than expected into my piggy bank.

    Keep smiling.

    I like your plan above. It's doable, and would bring in a a decent second income. All the best in executing it x.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
  • Hiya Candy, just spotted your diary and wanted to stop in and say hi! So hi! Lol!

    You sound very positive and well organised for 2010... and will be following you ;)

    If you do have lots of clothes that are tagged, they would begood for eBay

    Take care

    As you can see Im well and truly back on the DFW train, I fell off it last year although I was still making my monthly payments to CCCS but now Im determined to get this debt reduced!! Glad to see some familiar faces are still here lol!;)

    I do have some tagged clothes so I may well try and sell them on eBay as well as all my other junk.


    Well cant believe its the 2nd Jan already and if I`m not careful I will be getting behind in my master plan as today I have only got £2.50 extra and that was from a nectar voucher, OH said he would buy me a magazine with his money bless him, I was going to put the money in the debt busting pot but he wouldnt let me so I used his money for that less the voucher, and put the £2.50 in the pot as a compromise. Still little amounts all add up to big amounts.

    As Im completely broke until payday (15th) I am going to do a freezer and cupd inventory later and plan some more meals, had a "free" dinner last night with all fresh veg and herbs from my allotment so I do feel like I was saving some money.

    Well I better be off and try and find a way of boosting this £2.50 extra earnt today, any suggestions??

    I have boosted my total by another £30 I happened to sell some vouchers to my sister who was going to buy something anyway so I netted myself £30 cash!!

    Also i forgot to mention earlier that I got a letter earlier from the council asking me if I wanted to work at the elections again this year, so i have sent that off as that will be approx another £100-£150 to throw at my debts :)
