    :mad: Just sat with a load of paperwork and realised that I've totally miscalculated one of my loans and actually owe £1000 more than I thought!I have adjusted my signature to account for this so my debt has gone up instead of down :( although I haven't changed ny original debt amount as think it's high enough!

    However, I won't get downhearted as I know I can tackle this :) At least, now I know that I'm not guessing at figures - everything is accurate. Guess I just need to send the kids out to work or something, but not much demand for 2 year olds:rotfl:

    Morning, feeling motivated (for now!) so determined to stay positive today.

    I've got so much ebaying to do, but not much point starting this early as most lucky people - who have the money to buy things - will still be in bed at this time and I find most people bid in the last couple of hours. I can start taking photos though but of course still waiting for dh to get things from garage and he is still out for the count. :) He was out last night working, so he deserves a rest as he's eaning more money to pay the debts and I get to have quiet night in with the kids. :T

    Morning.
    Back to work today, somehow it's more relaxing than being at home sometimes! ;)

    Managed to list 16 things on ebay yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed that they'll sell.

    DH finally started tidying the garage, whioch has consisted of him putting about 12 bin bags full of clothes in the conservatory for me to sort out. THey are all clothes that the big ones have outgrown, that I am saving or the younger ones. There are also a couple of bags of charity stuff in there so need to go through them all - no idea when:(

    He's also parted with 2 boxes of CD's for me to ebay, but his taste is sooo bad that I can' imagine anyone wanting them. :D

    Managed to wash all the kids bedding yesterday and got it dry outside:T Will soon be able to say goodbye to the tumble dryer for the Summer.

    Have a good week everyone!

  • Hi I am new to this whole money saving/debt free wannabe thing and want to say thanks for the inspiration you have given me. Since I got home from work tonight I have registered on this site, listed a few bits on ebay and started going though CDs for music magpie! Small start but a start all the same :o

    Welcome dawnie, it was only by finding this site that I acknowledged that my debts were bigger than me. ;) The only problem is that I spend more time reading diaries and finding freebies/grabbits than I do making money:)
