    Well the final box set sold while I was at work, so off to the Post Office again tomorrow and I will have made over £50 :D I mentioned to someone at work that I was selling them and she's taken the last series off my hands, so that saves Amazon fees too :j

    I have a good amount of items which have watchers on Ebay now, so I'm pleased with that. I'm determined to bust the last of this pesky debt before my birthday, even if I end up with backstrain from carrying parcels to the Post Office!

    This new positive attitude seems to have worked well today as I have bought a bargain Christmas present for my mum (New diary for £1.75 inc postage!), done some washing, cleaned the kitchen and finally folded the mountain of washing!

    Money Post

    PAD/Spends - £90
    Entertainment - £18.13
    Groceries - £45.71
    Purse - £24 (all small change is going into my coin jar - I'm starting another Sealed Pot Challenge in the New Year)
    Outstanding loan - £560.15
    Outstanding credit card - £31.37

    Ebay News25 items for sale
    10 have watchers (one has 13!)
    3 have bids totalling £17.99

    I have suspicions that Ebay will do me quite well this time, so any money I make will be paying off the credit card in full and I will use my Amazon money/any leftover Ebay money to put towards the loan. I've started putting my outstanding loan figure in my signature for inspiration. It's so close to being paid off now :D

    I was quite productive yesterday evening. I folded the washing in Washing Mountain (Sock Summit still remains, but that's a battle for another day) and did more washing as soon as I got home from work. I also emptied out all the bins and filled a bag with stuff from our very untidy bedroom. I spent a lot of money on postage yesterday for my Amazon parcels - four box sets cost nearly £8 to post, but the money will eventually come back so I'm not too bothered.

    An 8am start time coupled with my normal morning disorganisation meant I had to buy lunch. Bad Fresian. However, I did have lunch with a friend I hadn't seen for ages so I think that evens up my dodgy karma :A

    Instead of caving to the urge to have cheese on toast last night and sit with my feet up, I made a pot of Student Noms (tomato, chickpeas, sweetcorn, peas and lashings of garlic) which I had for dinner last night and which will be lunch and dinner today. Honestly, the gleam from my halo is blinding me :rotfl::rotfl:
  • Hmmm...your dinner sounds....errr....interesting. Yes, I think that's the word I was looking for! :rotfl:

    You really are so close on that loan now aren't you - and it'll be great to see the credit card off in full this side of christmas too. I must get some bits on eBay again - it's all small stuff and the motivation is lacking. I need a kick! :o

    Evening all!

    £39ish has been requested from my Amazon sales account, so that should be with me sometime next week, woohoo!

    I also received Good Post today - £13 of Tesco vouchers (Yay!) and a letter telling me that Scottish Power will soon be sending me a cheque for £136 in overpaid electricity. Woo and indeed Hoo :D:D:D That should help to blast the Blessed Loan!

    Tomorrow I head to Englandshire for work, which is a bit of a pain as I'm back on Thursday night (!!) but we're going out for dinner - myself and some of the team - so that should be really good fun. I'm going to try and keep it MSE though as although the cost of dinner will be reclaimable, I have to wait for the money to come through so have to be a Good Fresian.

    On the housework front, I have done loads of tidying up tonight. The house almost looks respectable. I'm now about to treat myself to curling up in bed with my new book - it keeps the heating costs down if I'm under the duvet :rotfl:
