Chasing daydreams....

true27

Thanks guys!! I'm over the moon about it, especially seeing as they've put it in writing!! I'm going to try reclaiming the bank charges on that account (which more than double the amount of the overdraft) so fingers crossed they will be so helpful with that too :j

Ooh you sound like me with the dream house, even if all my debts were gone I wouldn't be able to afford it but I still call it our house :rotfl:

*crosses fingers* you can get the charges back too

Oh I know what you mean! Its got to be worth at least £300k - pipe dream or what :rotfl: but thats what this is all about ! My little boy asked me today what would I do with £1million pounds - I just pointed at the house!! He then asked me how long it would take to save up a million, apparently £183 pounds a day for 15 years! Hopefully I've got a budding Alan Sugar growing away at home!!

Ok, so I'm thinking I need some kind of plan. We are setting up the DMP with CAB which seems to be going ok, if a little slowly. We have our budget which we've been living with for a while, so we're quite used to everything Tesco value (apart from loo roll and coffee), to driving economically, to using Quidco etc but I need to do more to maximise our income. I have asked for any extra hours that come up at the chippy and I know I'll get them, but there is nothing guaranteed. So, I'm going to try ebay.

I've done it before when I've needed a clear out, and I've made a few quid. So, the immediate plan is to get listing. I've charged up the camera and I'm going to list at least 5 things tomorrow. You have my permission to nag if I'm found hovering on the boards

Will also try and get around to reading EagerLearner's guide to daily clicks and start implementing that - every penny counts and all that!
