  • Hi Ruby

    I haven't read through your whole diary so you may already be doing this, but have you thought about selling books/cds/dvds/board games etc on Amazon? We have been doing it for some time now and, although the sales can come in sporadically, it really helped us to chip away at our huge credit card debt we once had. Every time we made a sale, it got transferred straight off the credit card. It was very motivating to see the totals going down regularly.

    Hope you have a good week

    Having had a reasonable day of piece and quiet:j I spent some time in my crafty box and made some cards, my friend came round and had coffee and even the weather stayed pretty good for a while:)

    But then:eek::eek: DD came home from school foul mood followed by DS :eek::eek::eek: foul mood so teady and pram spring to mind ds's bedroom door totally trashed :mad::mad: roll on saturday.

    well the good side of it my grocery bill will be dramaticly reduced so will gas and electric and the dog will be more settled.

    and most of all no more abuse from him .

    sorry about the moaning, but sometimes just need to do it. :o
