    Ebay's quite something, isn't it - I've got my fourth ever sale on there just finished, and the buyer wants combined postage with the fifth - I've figured it out now, but it took ages - I'm not surprised you just want to do a few a day. Hope the rest of the day goes well too.

    Welcome Minky nice to see a lurker coming out of the woodwork :D

    Just got back from dinner at mums, DD is in bed so I am now watching Soccer Aid and my bids going up on Ebay. Happy days :D

    Although on a downside my daughter accidentally dropped her Nintendo DS tonight so looks like another cost I could do without :o

    Hi Doodledo,

    Congratulations on clearing your debt, I love hearing about people who have done it, it is inspirational, especially when you've got a long way to go like me.

    Well done on the new job, good luck with it.

    I'm off to subscribe to your diary now. I like your idea of posting every day to keep on track, I might have to think about starting a diary, it might help me a lot.

    Well no sooner do I start a new diary does a curve ball come in and knock me for 6.

    Last Thursday my DD great nan was rushed into hospital and has been there ever since. She is in a pretty bad way and to be honest I can't see her coming out. I have visited her every day since so have had very little time to do anything else.

    Am having a nightmare month money wise too. I have paid for the final instalment for our holiday and when checking my bank last week I have found out that my child tax credits haven't been paid for May and my insurance for my old car has been taken out again :mad:

    Couldn't get through to the tax credit people for days so have faxed them and the same with my insurance :(

    Sorry to hear about your DD great nan, I'm sure you visiting will be a great comfort to her.

    That's very frustrating about the tax credits and insurance, hope things get sorted there soon.

    Hi there
    Hope you don't mind me jumping on board too and following your journey. I am also debt free and it's just a fab feeling. I found I was spending less and less time on here and far too much on facebook and farmville and I was spending more money again so I'm back on the MSE forums. Oh, and I'm also on the WW plan, online, although to be honest I haven't done much with it............yet!
