My Very Long Journey

Well I spent all last night listing some more CD's on Music Magpie, have netted myself another £9.30 so once that's received I'll pop it in the money pot. Have also had a statement from a catalogue today telling me that I'm £6 in credit so have just e-mailed them and asked them to close the account and send me a cheque for the credit. There's not massive amounts of money coming my way but all the small amounts are slowly adding up.
Am really short on money this week and got another week until payday so will really have to tighten my belt over next few days, unless of course OH gives me the £150 he usually gives me every month. Keep your fingers crossed that he does.
Have got 2 items listed on e-bay but there's no watchers on either of them so a slight disappointment there and no Amazon sales for me today12/04/2019

I didn't receive money off OH so I'm really disappointed with that. I have however had an email off one catalogue telling me they are sending a cheque for £6 which is the amount I've overpaid them, have had an e-mail off Quidco stating they are sending me a £40 payment and I'm waiting for 2 cheques off MusicMagpie totalling approximately £18. Plus it's payday on Friday and I fully intend on sending a big cheque off to Moorcroft and clearing the debt12/04/2019

A very boring day today money wise. I did however receive the £2 from Amazon and the £40 from Quidco so I'm just waiting for a little bit more and then it'll be bye bye Moorcroft.
Took a few hours flexi time again today and it was lovely to be home early to potter around and do a few jobs. Plan tonight is a nice hot bath, read my book and curl up on settee and watch some TV12/04/2019

Have had enough money from Quidco and MusicMagpie and Amazon to pay off debt number 1 so today I'll send a cheque off to Moorcroft to pay them off. I've still got a long way to go but it feels good to be able to put a red line through one debt.
I still haven't had the cheque off OH but when I do it's going to make a huge difference to the brilliant gift shop balance. I'm going to see if I can get that one paid off by the middle of February instead of the end! Only got 2 items on e-bay and they are 99p listings so not going to make millions there unfortunately. Really need to think of different ways to make money.12/04/2019
