    Well night out wasnt the best the food was awful, the film was quite good until 15 minutes from the end DS rang to say he was poorly could we come home. This is the first time ever we have decided to do something just the two of us I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
    Family day out today need to buy new work shoes all in the budget.
    Have a good day all, and I have 5 watchers on one of my ebay items

    How's the ebay push going now? Sounds like you've really gone for long term planning to reduce debts nad not just credit cards etc.

    Very motivational!

    Well done re Ebay, hope it bears some fruit.

    I have just ended a mega listing, not bad but not fab either. Have taken this week off to prepare for serious listing on Sunday - hoping for 50 (and no thats not a challenge)

    How is work?

    Today was one of those that you wish you had stayed in bed. The radio stopped working in my car last week so DH had a play to see if it was a fuse and found nothing wrong. I got in this morning and the car wont start, after an hour of messing I had no choice but to join a rescue company and although I did a quick ring round for the best price I missed out on quidco. However both cars are now covered including a callout fee for £204.75.
    What was wrong DH had put a fuse back wrong :mad:, then he said i can fix you radio too if you like as the security catch had been pressed and the front was hanging off DS admitted he wondered what it was while playing with it last week.
    MEN need I say more !!!!!!!
    Looks like no more overpayment for me this month.
    Work is ok I have a feeling it could get a bit repetitive but im only doing this until new offices are built and hopefully I will move into another department, no stress so much better for my health.

    God what a day!

    So much for no stress! But I guess you could have gone thru all that and still had to go to the old place!

    Just been thrashing out some new figures and I have a goal to pay my last debt off from January 2012 salary. This is probably a bit too much of a challenge even for me but I'm going to give it my best shot. Who knows what will happen along the way I was hoping to get to £30k with December pay but Im going to try for £29500 still 5 paydays to go.
