    My pay day is the end of the month, and expenses are paid when they feel like it!!!

    Hope OH appreciates his new fag and I am glad you had a good day in London, we all deserve a nice day out once in a while.

    Ebay is quietish - have 39 ending today so it would need to waken up sharpish!! If I make £70 - will be a happy girlie. How about you?

  • I'm desperately hunting through the house for things to e-bay as it's free listing. Am getting myself all worked up because I can't find anything :(

    Glad your day out in London was an enjoyable one and well done to you DH on the giving up smoking. Come on Red - you can do it too.

    Well he certainly wont know if it will work if it stays in the box!!
    He should try the Champix - of course there is still the habit to break but I have to say last fag this am at 10a, and it really is not that bad and it has been easy to cut down in this last week!! God I already sound like the converted!!

    Going to list some ebay (more than 99p) stuff tomorrow I think/I hope!

    RMC - My friend gave up a month ago using Champix, she found it easier than we did:rotfl: Seriously, she's done really well and is great now, not missing them at all. Well done on giving uo - think of all that extra cash :)

    Herewego- good luck with converting your dh into a non-smoker! Hope it doesn't take too long - just got to convince him it's his idea. :D
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Lots of ebay to do today im behind with my target to clear my next debt as a few days out have cost me more than they should have, i suppose best thing is I didnt pay on cc.
    Todays plan ebay ebay ebay as well as cleaning cooking and tidying. made about £17 on ebay last night which isnt great but then better than nothing.
    Been playing with figures this morning and the interest we are paying is killing us as we are hardly touching the debts, this weeks challenge to try and get some LOB or 0% deals not sure its possible with our history.
    I am going to try and clear the additions account by the end of april its currently at £660 as I made a £10 payment last night, just so i felt like something was going down :(

    It's a killer that interest..good luck with getting LOB or 0% deals..
    I always think it's a good idea to concentrate on one debt at a time obviously whilst maintaining the minimum on the others.

    Not listed anything on ebay as yet but the house is clean and the washing is upto date :T
    Spent the whole afternoon looking at cars for DH and in true man style he knew what he wanted when we left the house but after looking hes not so sure now.
    Why is it when you have no money you want to buy so much and like now I have the money sorted for the new car and he cant decide or find what he wants :cool:
    Im not going to panic about ebay we all need a rest and mine is going to this afternoon/evening as its back to the dreaded work tomorrow :(
