Had to share this with someone!

Hiya
I finally got an insurance payout on our cats vets bill so paid it straight off the barclaycard. We're finally under £1000 in debt. This has given me real incentive to spend as little as possible and pay the rest off by christmas. This means I need to find about £50 a week. I've got £65 coming on quidsco in a month or two so that's one week I don't need to worry about! So, fingers crossed and i'd better find something to put on ebay!
January budget
Nothing left!

    We've got lego but wheras I managed to sell younger sons Thomas the tank engines the lego is still a much played with item. Do I sneak in and take it in the night or is that taking things too far? Thomas the tank engines sell well too, so do oxford reading tree reading books if you have any lying around!

    Well my DS1 is 20 & DS2 is 18, so apart from the Technic Space Shuttle, they don't play with it any more so I didn't have that problem! :D

    Oxford reading tree books were great - all school ones tho :( I did like Biff & Chip! And we got Letterland too...Clever Cat & Kicking King...didn't like them as much.
