    Ok I have 11 items listed. Will do some more tomorrow (I can already think of a few things, mostly from my wardrobe) so will keep a little rolling income from flebay going if I can. Everything starts at 99p so if it sells I'm happy.

    My next target is my LPF visa card. I've set a payment up to clear it on payday but I've got money heading my way from phone recycling, hopefully one poll, eBay and maybe a couple of other things so it's possible I could clear it earlier? Or I could leave the payment set up and throw any funds at the following target- ikea card? Will wait and see how much comes in. I might need some to live!

    17 days to pay day.

    onepoll up to £39.85- frustrating as there was another 15p survey but I got screened out :mad::mad::mad:

    NSD for me and OH today

    Awful news in OH is going to be without a job at end of the month

    This might change my DFD, holiday plans, payment plans, general living- nightmare.

    Frustrated

    Thanks Snoz. I hope so. He's applying but the competition is FIERCE. He has a lead this weekend with somebody who's establishing a company so although he's excited and eager and enthusiastic, I doubt the income will be enough or stable or guaranteed.

    Sigh.

    Thanks Hidden. I think it will be. My salary is enough to cover all the rent and bills and expenses but the downside is my DFD will be pushed back and it jeopardises all my plans etc. Also I worry about his wellbeing- being unemployed and searching for a job won't boost his confidence.

    Ok. An NSD for me (aside from ebay sales). The big news of the day is onepoll finally reached £40 so I cashed out!

    Also, I posted all my ebay sales 2nd class and sent my old phone via special delivery.

    More watchers on my current ebay sales.

    Diet going well, need to stick to it in the evenings- I tend to sabotage a hard day's work!

    Lots of questions and things up in the air and undecided which is not what I like at all. But I am pretty powerless in terms of what will happen with OH's job etc so I'm going to have a plan for all eventualities and remain ZEN.

    Aw MissShoes, I'm really sorry to hear about that. It sounds as though there are other jobs out there, even if it's a tough market. Really really hope it doesn't take long.

    I guess the positives are in all the MS skills you've acquired over the last few years. Just look at your signature! Without all that work your situation would be very different. Yes, it may set your DF date back and that's dis-spiriting when it's something you're focused on, but you are still heading for it and I know you've not come so far to let it get the better of you now. :)

    Let us know how things go.
