    Not a bad day money wise today. Not made anything but not spent anything either. Have discovered I have £11 in my Natwest account so have just phoned Moorcroft and made an additional payment of £10. My balance is now down to £55.35. I wish my PayPal money would hurry up and come through as that would nearly clear the balance of debt number 1. I requested it on Monday so it should be through any day now. I need to decide which debt to concentrate on next. Will have at the list (i've got plenty to choose from) and look at what I can concentrate on next. Have also decided to clear out the penny jar, have absolutely no idea how much is in there but whatever is there will make a small dent. Off to count the pennies.....

    Thanks Woowoo. Have counted up the penny jar and I have bagged £30 so I now need to get it changed into real money. The money I'm waiting for now includes:

    £30 Penny Jar
    £39 PayPal
    £8 Music Magpie

    These are definite amounts of money that will be coming in and will more than cover debt number one. Am not going to cross the debt off yet though until every penny is passed onto Moorcroft.

    Tonights money making job is to list another 10 books on Amazon, have got 100's of books I just need to get them listed.

    Not yet Woowoo, I may concentrate on a one of the catalogues I used to get me through Christmas. My credit limit was only £125 so it's a nice small smount. I've just listed 15 books on Amazon so I've got about 30 of them listed there at the moment, I just wish some of them will sell now :)

    It's nice to get the smaller ones cleared, even if they're not the highest interest, it's good motivation x

    Yeah I think clearing small but annoying debts is the best motivator!
