    Afternoon :D
    Ebay grand total (including postage though) was £87.09 :) and so far I've spent £7.78 (using credit card to keep everything in one place) on packing... need to get a couple more packing bits and then send them.. but reckon I should have a clear £50ish :) Not bad going that :D I got the box I needed to send my CDs to music magpie too so will get that sorted later too. I had a look on CEX to get rid of the dvds that didn't sell but it came back at £4 something, BUT I'd have to pay my own postage. *rolls eyes* Going to have to dig out some more DVDs as you need a minimum 10 to sell them on musicmagpie so will do that tonight too... I feel the need for a list..

    To do list!

    • Pack up DVDs to send tomorrow
    • Buy packing for the other bits and send
    • Pack up cds for musicmagpie
    • Sort out more dvds to go on musicmagpie
    • get ebay money and pay off egg card
    • check out budget for any 'leftover funds' ready for new week tomorrow.

    Right... checked my budgets and somewhere along the line I've ended up with £19.09 over.. god knows how but it's been paid off the egg card anyway so it's a bit late now lol! :D
    New weekly budget week starts tomorrow so back to square one..I'm much preferring doing it this way as it's a lot easier to keep track of :) Plus even though I'm paying off odd small bits it still feels like I'm making massive progress with paying off the card :) Small steps add up to a big change and all that! :D

    Ok there's something seriously wrong with me! Had a text off our singer saying probably no band this week again as the drummer is bogged down with work.. and what was the first thing I thought? "Ooh, now I can pay an extra £10 off the credit card this week!" *facepalm*

    seriously.. that can't be right.. LOL

    Sent off all but one of the ebay items today, as well as the box of cds to music magpie :D they ebay postage has so far cost me £19.36, with one more to send so not bad going really. There were no fees as they were all free to list which is a bonus too :) The musicmagpie box was free post also so literally just cost me the £1 something for the box :)

    I then went to the shop and bought a few foodie bits. £4.14 in all so need to start my new budget this week now as the child benefit went in today.
    So budgets so far..

    No band this week means that can be paid off the egg card too... do looking at £92.09 off egg on friday, plus ebay money when I get it, the £8 from paypal from the other week and whenever I get the money from musicmagpie. Not bad going that :D

    oh and in other news had my car tax reminder through, it's less than I thought :D Only £68.50 so budgetting £18 a week is too much really. I'd budgetted for £72 so will only save £14.50 this week and pay the extra £3.50 off the card along with the £92.09 :D
