Bang...and the debt is gone! (Hopefully!)

Another £2.21 and £5.11 on way from paypa1. Total of payments is:

£131.24

Had another item picked up for £4.50 so £11.20 for collections so far.

Total of £142.44. Have 3 items being picked up tomorrow for £5 total.

1 item being collected at weekend- this has been paid for already. Then 2 items (to same buyer) collection yet to be arranged but this is for £2.

Overall total £149.44 (plus the £2.79 and £5.99 I've spent on packing materials).

Today was spendy. Paid back £20 that I'd forgotten I owed and did shop in A1di. Was planning on going to Mr T for cheese, milk, loo roll, veg, salad, fruit but as I was going past A1di I went in. Spent more than I wanted- £23.78. Got:

24 bottles mineral water
milk
grated mozzarella
cream cheese
3 carrier bags
bananas
loo roll
rocket/baby leaf salad
spring onions
strawberries
broccoli
5 lemons
mushrooms
15 eggs
cucumber
2 mangoes
2 limes
2 avocados
leeks
cherry tomatoes
cheese
courgettes

Tonight I made spag bol and enough bol to make a lasagne from scratch for tomorrow- this is in the fridge ready, will bung in oven when home from work.

I am running low on (and forgot to buy today):

ginger
chillis
garlic
onions
ground black pepper
fresh peppers
bread rolls
dry shampoo
tomato puree
creamed coconut

so will pop to Mr T for these hopefully tomorrow, using cash from collected flebay items.

I had limited money for these spends today £20+£23.78 as my paypa1 funds don't clear until Wednesday/Thursday. When they do, I owe my work pot £40, OH £32.90 leaving me with £76.54 to play with.

Total postage was £67.90 which I paid for £35 from my bank account and £32.90 from OHs account. Was pretty much spot on from what I can see with my p&p charges.

All in all, a worthwhile venture. Scary as the p&p meant I had to spend all my money from bank account and steal from OH but this is temporary cashflow issues and harmony will be restored on Wednesday.

All flebay items posted. 2 collections did not turn up, have messaged both.

Creditexper1 rating up 20 points as the one of my accounts I paid off has been updated. Waiting for the other and then another will be cleared next week. I'm getting very impatient.

No sign of £12.99 refund. Paypa1 money should clear tomorrow. No sign of qu1dco money which has been tracked for 6 months.

NSD today as didn't pop to Mr T for my top up items.

8 days til payday.

Have to write 2 letters re defaults. Had responses so need to get back to the companies.

Need to hit gym tomorrow, will pack kit now ready.

Will pop to Mr T tomo after gym then make either a prawn and crab curry or a thai chicken thing depending on what I take out of the freezer.

Those Ebay results are scarily impressive! You must do good listings to have so many buyers.

Are you sure it wasn't all your Ebay activity that crashed the Royal Mail website?

Hey hidden, thanks for posting. Yep all is well, just counting down the days til payday and eagerly checking credit exper1 to see if the accounts I paid off in full have updated to 'satisfied'! 1 has, the other is taking forever!

Hope all's good with you with the move, new place, kids etc xx

Well the cupboards are absolutely heaving. I have the ends of the A1di shop from 6 days ago to use up (a couple of bits of fruit and veg) which I will do in my lunch tomorrow. Today our huge monthly shop arrived. Lucky to get a slot as only ordered yesterday and it arrived 3 hours early too!

This is 3 days early but there were no slots for midweek evenings so I bit the bullet and ordered. Came to £131.38 incl delivery and OH paid. This is his half of the food for 25th April-25th May all paid for. We also have a big AF order coming for £51.70 which OH paid for and I will pay him back on pay day.

So food spends are already £183.08 and the budget is £250. Leaving £66.92 for the month for fruit, veg, milk etc.

I am spending a weekend with a mate at their holiday house which is in a village with a fab and cheap butcher so might well go over this budget to stock up freezer but we will see. Have cleverly got 3 loaves of bread and 2 pints of milk in freezer, so should be able to manage at least 10 days without grocery spends.

All my bills in and I have my figures to pay on payday. Will clear my final credit card IN FULL and put £150 in savings (still haven't touched my £100 from this month).

This will leave me with 2 storecards- one active and one dormant, plus my OD and friend. Nearly there!

Still waiting for £12.99 refund- will keep checking. Also £15 due back to me which should arrive this week. No sign of creditexper1 update or £80 from qu1dco.
