  • Not done an awful lot today with regards to moneymaking. Am waiting for all the pennies to make their way to me. I have decided that the next debt to clear will be the Brilliant Gift Shop. My balance is currently £118.98 and I'm aiming to clear it by the end of February, af course if I can clear it quicker all the better. Not had any sales on Amazon today, I always get slightly disappointed if I list loads of things and then nobody buys them. Am absolutely searching the house for things to e-bay but not having much luck in finding anything :(

    Amazon seems very quiet at the moment hopefully it will start to pick up soon. I have lots to ebay but just cant get motivated plus I have a feeling there wont be much spare cash for many people this month so maybe i should wait until the end of the month.

  • Have got a chest of drawers currently on e-bay, due to end in about an hour and I'm desperate to sell them. Only selling for £30 but it would be a nice little bonus to the debt account so fingers crossed it'll sell.

    Have been feeling ill for the last few days, am on antibiotics for a chest infection but they are making me feel really sick and thus I'm not really in the mood for debtbusting :(

    I still haven't paid all my pennies into the bank, hopefully if I'm feeling better tomorrow it can be the job for the day. Have managed to find a DVD and a set of CD's to list on Amazon so will get onto that right away. Will post back later with an update on the drawers.

  • Drawers didn't sell :( will drop the price a little and relist them later on. I really need to pop to Asdas to do some shopping. I have a pair of jeans to take back and still need to get the money bags changed into notes. I'm hoping the postman will bring me something nice in the mail. Something to cheer me up.

  • Unfortunately no big fat cheque :( and spent way too much money in Asda so the day doesnt appear to be getting any better. I have however received my postage paid sticker from Music Magpie so can get the CD's and DVD's all packed up and ready to post on Monday. Am chilling out this afternoon and watching a DVD with DD and will be wracking my brains looking for things to e-bay. Have got my trusty notebook and pen at the ready to make a list.

  • Have taken some flexi time today and been home since 3.00. Have been very productive with my time, packed up the music magpie package, sold a book on Amazon so packed that up too and plan to find another 10 cd's for music magpie. Also managed to find 2 items that I can e-bay so will be taking pictures of them and popping them on this evening.

    Made a MASSIVE list of jobs I need to do this weekend and so far have done 9 out of 18 so I'm half way there. Off to do the other 50% now.
