    NSD for me except DS training fees but that was in the budget. Just made £7.20 on ebay but struggling to get some of the money in why do people bid then just not pay.
    Diet is going well been very good with food today and been for a long 2-3 mile walk with a friend, planning on another 4k tomorrow night :cool:
    Dying to make an overpayment but dont want to leave us short in the bank its so frustrating, think I may take £20 in £2's to the bank and take it off my additions debt it's not doing any good sitting in the cupboard and I want to change my signature

    Just had a very productive evening, got home to the last 6 years statements from Lloyds TSB for 2 cards so as they say strike while the irons hot and i have just calculated all my fees and interest I thought it would come to about £300 but I have claimed for everything and it came in at a whopping £1502.56 if that was refunded or even deducted from my cards it would be amazing but if I get anything its better than where I am now.
    DH has managed to clear the bank of any spare cash by buying 200 fags and filling his car with Super unleaded it was only 1.25 a litre :wall:
    Managed another 2k running tonight and had a quick clean round the house as having the house valued tomorrow :o
    Diet going quite well except for a kitkat this afternoon but its the first slip this week,and we all need the odd treat :p

    HWG you will have to kill him - 200 fags - God he has style and that bicycle is getting closer and closer!!

    BUT if you get the fee's that would be just great - never dealt with Lloyds so can't offer anything there.

    Time of the month for me so no poundage lost this week and of course the obligatory choc feast, so that puts me under some pressure to catch up to make 4lb ASAP. Well done on the running and only eating a kit-kat!

    97 on ebay - only 13 with offers but not a lot ending in next day or so. Going to try and keep it at a steady 100 listed.

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Oh men lets just not go there :mad: I will continue the bike story when I have some news.......
    Im putting my kitkat down to time of the month too but i think it was probably just an excuse.
    Ebay plodding along I will never be rich but its all extra i will bust these debts just trying to figure out how :cool:
    Forgot Red happy St Patricks Day, have you been celebrating, DH just in from work so a little late to start partying although i guess his family back home will have a late one :beer:
    I have a busy saturday but im going to try for 50 listings this weekend but i will probably end up sleeping after London Friday.

    You are married to an Irish man - let me apologise for his bad behaviour - its in their genes.

    Me - work, work, work - just trying to sort out next months payments.

    Ebay will never make us rich but its another little chip at the big debt wall

    Ok will update weight Monday too!

    Just had email from ebay - free listings on 20th and 21st - every little helps! Still challenging myself to 25 listings over weekend - not as brave as you two!

    Had a fantastic day yesterday in London, but spent a little too much money, although did but DH and electronic cigarette will try anything to help him give up.As an ex-smoker I was so impressed i parted with £40 this was a starter kit and which gives you the same as 180 fags, RED take note if you struggle with the tablets this might be worth a try, it doesnt smell it doesnt do you any harm. Just need to get him to take it out of the box :cool:
    Also found out payday may now be last day of the month and not last friday, not had a contract yet so dont know as the friday has been the last day of the month for jan and feb. :(
    I had a sneak on the scales this morning and so far 1 1/2lb down this week with 2 days to go it could still go very wrong......
    Ebay seems very quiet but hopefully that will change soon as the weather is rubbish and everyone should stay in and buy my things, big upload day tomorrow.
    Update later when I have looked at the finances more closely :(
