    Well I'm up to 7 dresses now!

    Well some great news, I've just sold a piece of software on Amazon for £160, giving me £133 after fees, so I'll send it recorded delivery so I'll have made £128 from it, yey! I also sold another piece for £20 but their card was declined, have to hope they put the right details in.

    AND I've got a £20 bid on some comics, now they'll cost at least £8 to post and they're worth about £600-£1000, hopefully the price will go up, but I don't care they're the last reminant of my ex and I'd rather have the money in my pocket.

    I think when I get the CC back to below £1000 I'm going to treat myself to a roll of canvas so I can paint again.(incidentlaly another £107 paid off today, £20ish from Amazon sales, and £86ish from Ebay sales)
    Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81
    Debt September 20th 2022 £2991.68- 96.92% paid off

    In a way it would be satisfying for them to go for less than they're worth hehe!

    Well done on the sales though :)

    Hi all,

    Managed to bag some bargains from Boots today so am happy with that! My moses basket and cot arrived today and they are gorgeous. Can't wait for the baby to come along now!

    Dinah that was a nice dress you tried on today but you need to be in love with the dress and want to swish and twirl around in it all day long. Everytime I put on my dress I didn't want to take it off. That is a good sign :)

    You will find the dress of your dreams though. It took me a while to find mine too.

    Been giving out the stuff I bought in Boots today. So much for peoples birthdays, I was too excited by the bargains :D Sold some of the bits onto my Mum though.

    Wowzer Dinah, good going on the money front!! Was the software the one you got to test from Amazon? Hope the comic money goes up a bit.

    Opened my money tin tonight, quite impressed! Started putting change or odd notes into it when we were on holiday in December and had £65.50 in it :T Now I'm kind of wondering why I opened it, it sempt a good idea at the time ... :undecided

    Dinah - the dress is nice but you need something you love, you only do it once!

    Is OHs birthday today but he is working till 10 so am making his cake this evening. We are off out for dinner tomorrow, I got 50% off Tiger Tiger voucher so should be nice.

    I went to the opticians today with my free eye care voucher from work and now I need glasses. Probably from staring at the computer screen all day. Am going to choose some tomorrow, hopefuly they won't be too expensive!

    ooh cinny £65.50 is not to be sniffed at! and I know youve opened it but you can always start again can't you? Did it take you a long time to count it?
    are you going to be able to bank it or does it not fit into those bags?

    Only about 2 ticks, £50 of it was in notes (lots of £5!) So just the £15.50 in change, going out with OH on Saturday so we need some change for the car park, but I think I'll change the rest at work. Just going to live off it I think, and let my wages build up in my bank account until I need them :) Which is nice!
    Can't reuse the tin though as it's the type you need to open with a can opener (won it at Blackpool, it's HSM!) Will have to go back to the classic sealed up jam jar!

    Oooh thats a nice little amount Cinny!
    Been spending all night updating my profiles on all the survey sites. Hopefully i'll start getting some more in. I am due about £150 from Quidco at the end of the month, so that will be more than welcome!!
