    How lovely to get on and read some messages.

    Internet company cut us of and hillariously not due to non-payment - it was a mistake and it felt like I had lost my right arm...........its great to be back!

    10 items finishing on Ebay tonight of 49 on - have bids on 11 in total which is great.

    My mum and dad gave us £1300 which is just fantastic - I was very naughty and told DH it was £300, basically because he will think he doesnt need to give me money as DDMs are covered and that is not what its for really. I am using money to ensure no further charges - ie. that DDMs are covered this month. However I sat on Sunday and worked out dates and when money needs to go in. DH has been given dates and how much he needs to give me. When I get ahead of the game I will transfer surplus to Richard Branson in my reclaim of Necker Island!!

    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

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

    Refreshing ebay page is not good for the soul!! How long does it take to transfer from Paypal to bank account?

    DH is crying about DVDs again but has just handed over £230 - budget this week was £200 but next weeks is £650 so hopefully more from him tomorrow, am I a rotter for not telling him about £1000 (before you answer, I should share that he has now stopped opening cc bills as 'there is no point' as I am 'managing all that now'!)
