My Very Long Journey

not sure about the the extra two,I have enough trouble sending mine both together,

Well, still no money from Amazon so no extra payment going to Shapely today. I've been up early this morning and spend the last hour taking pictures of all my card-making stuff. Have decided that it was purchased on a whim and life just gets in the way of me ever having time to make cards. Have split the items and have listed them but they are only at 0.99. I currently have 34 items listed at 0.99p so I'm not going to make millions with that. Still if it does sell it will clear yet another corner in my cluttered up house. The next things to list will be my jewelry making stuff (another whim) which I've never used. Off to try and find where I've stored that and hopefully if I have time today between the usual household jobs I'll list them as well.

Not planning on going out today so should be a NSD.....

Weekends are so boring when you've got no money. Only another 4 days until pay day

Woowoo

Hi

I am on my own today as OH is at work, which means the dog is sulking in the conservatory as his 'Daddy' isn't here, so I don't even have him to talk to!

Does that make me sound mental? I'm not honest!

Desperate_to_be_debt_free

Yes it does make you sound mental I'm sitting here and all I'm doing is juggling figures in my head. I really need to set a target for this time next weekend. My current balance with Shapely is £225 and I'd really like to get it down to £150 by this time next week. Is it possible? I don't know but I'm going to give it a go. If I could clear that a month earlier than originally planned I'd be over the moon.

Now where can I get £75 from? Well there's the Amazon money which is due any day so that's £15, just another £60 to go! I've got my CSA of ex hubby due on Wednesday so maybe I could use some of that. I've got about 36 items currently on e-bay (but they are not priced at very much, the majority of them being 0.99), I'd prefer not to count that in as it could be a bonus payment next week depending on how much of it sells. Well, it looks as if the £60 is going to have to come out of my pay. I should have about £17 petrol expenses this month so that'll be a bit extra, plus my tax credits should be going up from next Friday - just off to check on that be back now.

Woowoo

I have every faith in you, last time you set yourself a target and had no idea where you were going to find the money somehow you got there.

Tax credits going up a whole £6 per week. That actually may make a difference to my DFD as I currently get £90.87 per week so I tend to withdraw the £90 leaving only 0.87p, BUT if they go up tp £96.97 then there'll be nearly £7 per week spare that I can pay off something Hmmmmmmm something to think about.

Hi dtbdf

You made me think about sorting my card making stuff also, only have small amount but it may be worth doing a job lot not sure will have a good look, I also have a small wooden chest which I got for my kids toys when they were babies but still look at it thnking shall i shan't i, But I realise I can't hold on to everything so I must be brave.

Desperate_to_be_debt_free

Thanks for the support Woowoo, it does come from somewhere doesn't it. It just makes me realise how much money I used to wast on the odd takeaway, the odd magazine etc. Ruby - get sorting that cardmaking stuff out, even if you only make a few £'s it'll be a few £'s less you'll be in debt. I've only got one watcher on one of my 99p items at the moment. I listed for 7 days though so I'm hoping to pick up some interest during the week.

Desperate_to_be_debt_free

Have had 2 sales on Amazon today so currently have about £6 in the amazon account. Still only one watcher on e-bay though, maybed everybodyu gets paid next week and it'll pick up a bit then.
