    Pay day tomorrow and reached end of month without going over my limit :T

    Just received the £80 from paypal so put that straight on cc payment! :)

    Sorted through all the bags of clothes and junk dh left in conservatory and sorted out 3 bin bags full of clothes/shoes for charity shop. Also managed to get 1 bin bag full of stuff to ebay - clothes, toys and shoes! and sorted out hand me down clothes into size order and labelled bags and stored them. :)

    I also did a full day at work after getting all 4 children up and ready for school/childminder. ;) Got a pile of ironing but strangely feeling a little too tired to even think about it. ;)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Aaarrgh!! Got parking ticket today - £35:eek: My fault - a meeting over ran and it was a very important meeting, guess I'll have to cut back on something this month or ebay the furniture. :)

    Night out with the girls tomorrow - now there are some things I can't cut down on. ;)

    Hey hun, just read your entire diary - we have very similiar debt amoutn and I have never had the guts to look at my DF date - now I know!!

    CD's - I sold quite a few on ebay - I listed them all at 99p start and sold most for that but got £4 - £5 for some. Music Magpie good for the ones that dont sell!

    I hate parking tickets - I have got so many in my time!!

    Enjoy the night out with the girls!

    Finding ebaying very boring - Herewego and RMC, how do you do it? :)

    Have discovered the joys of Music Magpie - could become addicted to this - at only 30p for some of the CDs, it's not going to make my fortune, but every penny counts and it's a way of getting rid of dh's bad taste CD collection! :rotfl:Also so much quicker than ebay:T

    I am also struggling with ebay at the moment I think we over done it the other weekend...
    I also have some photos taken 7.00am this morning but not one thing listed so your doing better than me.
    Before you post your CDs to music magpie I would try ebay you dont have to photo the use the barcode and it will do the rest, I was surprised how much the older CDs made much better than music magpie.

    I would agree with Herewego - music magpie is great for those that don't sell on ebay but you are also right that MM is so fast and zero hassle!!
