    Passed my referees exam yesterday, so should be able to start to make some money refereeing later in the summer. It will cost me about £70 to get set up with all the gear again but I can claw that back after about 3 games and then start to make about £25 per week. That should be an extra £100 a month for debt busting!!!

    Looking forward to paying bills is really strange. We went on to our snowball last night and played about with paying a little bit more a month and seeing how quickly the debt could disappear, its really is strange seeing the impact an extra £50 per month could make.

    I'm sat at work now thinking of all the things I could ebay to get some extra cash in, we have quite a few dvd box sets, I'm going to have a look and see how much they go for.

    I think I might be tidying the garage, the loft and all the cupboards this weekend looking for stuff to ebay. It would be good to get everything ebayed and sorted before we go away.

    Thank you - we are feeling very jolly at the moment!
    I don't yet have my timetable so it might still all fall apart.

    I have become a Phoenix Trader and have done 1 brochure drop which brought in a few orders so feel quite pleased with myself there.
    I just checked my bank account to make my PAD and discovered that out tax credits must have been sorted as the money is there (still no paperwork so don't know what I have for when) but i have paid £50 of it plus the £50 from my ebay sales of old baby stuff and rounded my balance so £106.49 off the B&Q card today. i think we might need to start making our PAD to our 2nd card in the hit list so the payments we have made can credit the account and we can ring up to make a final payment without worrying about overpaying.
