Any idea how long you will have your lodger?
Have you seen itsarandom around lately?
Sorry its like 20 questions.

No idea to be honest, I assume I'll be told when she decides to move out I did say at the beginning that I didn't want to have a lodger when I turned 30, so out be the end of November at the latest :j

I've not seen Random for ages, she hasn't posted in months...

10 items now listed on Ebay; shoes, a dress, a jacket, some old computer games and a handbag. All watchers welcome *coughsameusernameasMSEcough*

Lol I've just been taking advantage of free listings too, I hate listing things on ebay though it takes soooo long

Money

PAD/Spends = £61
Entertainment = £28.25
Groceries = £46.17 :eek:

There are 16 days until payday...

Credit card balance = £123.23, although there is still £12 to be added (gorgeous dress I bought in the New Look sale) I have £62 coming in work expenses which are going to be paid directly to the credit card which will almost half the balance. I will be paying this once they're received, hopefully by Wednesday.

There is still a lot of overtime in the offing at work, so I will hopefully do another 5-6 hours this week on top of my normal hours. It's not a lot, but I have fallen into the trap of doing 15 hours a week extra before, and it makes for a very tired and very Cranky Fresian.

The amount of money left for groceries is a concern, but we have quite a bit of stuff in the freezer and so should only really need fruit/veg for the rest of the month. Three trips to the supermarket this weekend left me almost £40 lighter, which was a bummer. Still, we have enough cat food to last until payday.....and a freezer full of Fab lollies

Time to dash off for a shower then Glasgow again for work. Funtimes!

Hey Fresian,

Nice to see that you could be DF before 30. I hope to have shifted the bank debt by then.

Good luck! x

Good morning all!

So far I have only two watchers on my Ebay gubbins, which is quite disappointing, but does make me feel better for having used the free listing day. Does anyone know if relisting these items will be free? Not all of them are 99p items you see....

MSE news is quite slim this week. I received my expenses today (£62) and this will shortly be going off the credit card. I also received the money from selling my ipod and put most of this towards the credit card and some to the Debt Pot.

Overtime is still on offer, although I will only have about 8-10 hours in my pay this month due to various reasons. I'm doing two hours today and an hour a day on Thursday and Friday. I should also be working Saturday morning as well. Every little helps!

Another dry spell of competition wins in the last week or so, nothing coming through at all. I have decided to send off for a passport though in the hopes that this will encourage the Comping Fairy to send me on holiday Getting passports for myself and Mr Fresian won't be cheap, but I've been meaning to do it for ages, and it would be nice to have a holiday abroad to aim for once I'm debt free :T

Right, need to have a shower, hang up washing, do the dishes and go to work! Happy Hump Day

Friday tomorrow, woo!

£6.83 received this morning from an Amazon sale, and sold another DVD last night, so shall be packing Mr Fresian off to the Post Office this afternoon

Still only two items with watchers on Ebay, but one now does have a bid on it, so that's £5.99 + postage, minus fees etc.

I'm 2 hours of overtime to the good from yesterday with possibly one today as well. Also working Saturday, so woo to that :j
