  • Keep looking up prices on musicmagpie but have yet to take the plunge and actually sell anything to them. I've looked at batch cooking but can never find anything that the whole family will eat!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

  • sold my 2 rabbits. 5 pound each. can clear the shed out when it gets a bit warmernow took clothes down to recycle shop £3 each. every little helps. Didnt get budgeting loan not surprised to be honest. Having to redecorate living room as my mum suggested painting over my wallpaper but all these weirdbubbles started appearing. will have to wait till i can afford it now. Plan is to get my hb and pay off credit card. I will use my income support to pay the rent from now. Been sorting the garden but only so much you can do with this rubbish weather. Paypal harrasing me for £15.79 so going to pay that tuesday as they are getting on my nerves.Getting down a bit as not working and applied for so many jobs with no response. Taking ct1 and ct2 off my sig cos i know they are being paid and therefore i dont have to worry about them.

  • Put my old rabbit hutch on freecycle on saturday and it was gone by monday night. Brilliant. Took some stuff to the tip, just a few more bits. Gota get behind the shed and im dreading whats behind there. Got to go doctors, think i have ibs. had several appointments but after last one the doctor gave me some meds and said if i dont improve i will have to see a specialist so will see what happens. Provident due friday, by next week i should have paid prov1 off. Owe my sister £13 and got to pay car insurance into bank tomorrow. Cant wait to go back to college, im so bored. Kids are bored because of rubbish weather.
    Made a complaint to my ha about windows and not heard anything yet. Need to get to registry office and get birth certificate, its just money thats stopping me atm. Still job hunting. Applied for a community care grant as i didnt get a budgeting loan but again not holding my breath for it.

  • You always seem so busy and full of energy. I have given up on making lists as I just feel worse when i don't do anything on them. ;)
    Good luck at Drs. Hope all goes well.

  • Not happy. ct1 took my money from my benefits, then send me letters threatening baliffs. I really dont think they know what there doing. Got £80 student finance which was nice as wasnt expecting it till easter. So paid £5 to council, some for petrol and sorted behind the shed, lots of old slides, trampolines and swings, its all at the side of the house at the moment and it need taking to the tip. Got more medication from the docs if theres no improvement this time he will refer me to a specialist, funny he said that last time. House is a bomb site but not even bothering till the kids go back to school, i clean up and they make a mess. Always the case. Things still dropping off my credit report, my experian report should be getting there, alot stil on equifax, but no more applications for credit so just gona re order in september and forget about it till then.
