    Back to it this morning. Have a long to do list and planning a NSD. Ebay listings now up to £75.

    Have adjusted budget and spreadsheets and all is looking on track so far for November.

    I have sold another book on GM:)

    Been working on 2011 budget and it looks like I may be able to start saving next year. I am looking to pay my dad back the remainder of the money I owe him within the next four weeks, then I will get started on my remaining debt. Can't wait to be debt free again!!! Just seems like such a short road to get into debt but a long one to get out of it again!

    Better get on as need to get the kids up for school and want another cuppa first!

    Have a good monday everyone!

    Morning!

    Two more NSD to add to the total taking me up to 8 now.

    EBay listings have all ended and I made a huge £299.56:) Have taken fees off and will need to take off postage costs too. I am really chuffed with this total and it will help enormously.

    Most of the money made will go towards paying Dad back and some off the credit card.

    Had a crappy day yesterday. Burnt myself badly in the kitchen and ended up in A&E. Got to go back today to have it redressed. Plus side though. Cant get my hand wet so the kids will have to do the washing up....there is a bright side to everything:D

    No NSD yesterday. Went to tesco and got some shopping and ordered some christmas presents too. Trying again for today!

    Thanks Beanie.

    Its very sore today so I am going to be taking some more of those very good pain killers. I had it redressed at outpatients yesterday and it is very blistered, looks really nasty:(

    My new account with Nationwide is now opened, so once I have sorted out the credits in and DD's out, I can close my account with Santander. Their customer service is truly appalling! I am currently trying to make sense of Nationwide's online banking as it so much different from Santander:)

    I need to go into town today to pay in some money to the bank and a couple of cheques for closing bank accounts which had a few pennies in them.

    I shall try and pick up some more christmas presents so I can cross them off my list. So no NSD for me.

    Fair bit of housework to do. Got the kids washing up as I can't get my arm wet, but I am doing most of the rest although it is a bit of a struggle!
