  • Just sold my DS Lite on Ebay for £105. Only bought it a few months ago, but hardly used it (another impulse buy). Was going to put this money to my credit card, but now its swallowed up by my water bill above, oh well!

  • Dang, just been done over by my Water company! My Direct Debit has been £14 for 3 years, as they hadnt altered it, I just assumed it was enough. I dont really understand the bills when they send them! Based on my latest reading, I had £112.16 arrears! Tried to haggle but no joy, paid that off, and even then my new Direct Debit will be £20.50. Water is free too, it just comes out of the sky!
    You're not really paying for the water, you're paying for the treatment to make it drinkable and for them to take it away for you :)

    Well done on the ebay sales ..if you keep going like that you'll soon be debt free.
  • Well January was not a good month in the end! Overspent by £288.73. Had a couple of unexpected bills. My Xbox 360 died just out of warranty too, so splashed out on a new one! Spent £177.05 on food, where I should only have spent £80-£100. Must try harder!
