The countdown to the start of my new life

Looks like the post I made didn't arrive!!
How are your wedding plans going? I have a new diary with pics of my wedding dresses (link in sig)

Hi Jellie, I'll pop and find your diary in a mo.

Plans are coming along ok, am waiting for my dress to arrive. The flowers came last week and I think they're great. It's just saving the money for the rest now I think.

I have joined Barefoot Books as an ambassador to sell books. It's a bit like Usbourne but this can be done all online if you choose and it's FREE to join with no costs to me.
If any of you are ever in the market for books and gifts for pressies etc (kids) then please check out the link in my profile.

I was just writing about not buying any more books but I might not be able to resist this for pressies!! Can you give us a reminder in a couple of months and I'll see what gaps I have left to fill in my Christmas shopping list!

Thanks Jellie will do.

I've worked out I only need to find £100 to be able to pay off the credit card (pc that we bought last w/end plus desk and chair) by the end of the month. I am going to root around for Ebay tomorrow. Have a couple of online MS to finish, tho not sure if they'll pay out in time.

Just did a Will Hill bonus refund, but won so that's £5 already found. Silly thing is we're totally skint this month, but should be better next month. Not sure what is going on, but we have 2 weddings next month plus a birthday meal and a leaving meal so really need to get making some pennies.

I need to go to the shop to buy milk and bread. Am debating whether or not to do a full shop. The freezer is almost empty but I could squeeze a few meals out of it. I think I'd just be putting off the inevitable by not shopping, but am also trying to make the money last a bit better.

I have some ebay items ending tonight and three more to put on. Running out of ebay items now. but on the flip side, seem to have some bulkier items which will be better in a carboot sale which we might do at the end of the month.

£26 received this morning from TCB but I had already included that so still need £95 for the credit card.

sold 6 out of 10 items on ebay tonight plus did a P!nec0ne survey so once that is all paid I need £68 to pay off the credi card. I CAN do this, just need to think how lol

*Jellie*

You're doing so well!
I know what you mean about putting off shopping. I'm trying to stick to store cupboards and freezer as much as I can but I think tomorrow I'll have to go and get a couple of things for the fridge!

£10.48 requested from TCB. Now down to just over £55 needed for the credit card. A few more bits listed on Ebay last night.

I also caved and did a proper shop as I got a free delivery code emailed to me so used that as my answer. £49 so not too bad at all

I've had 3 p!nec0ne surveys this week which is brilliant. Also got a last minute mystery shop yesterday which I completed quickly. Sold some jewellery today, only a pair of earrings so small amount. I'm not near my spreadsheet so can't get an exact figure that I need to get for the CC which is frustrating, but I think it's something like £30ish now which is great.

DD1's passport came back through today so mine is next which is £79. Will set the next phase back, but it's all part of the grand plan and we want them for early next year so worth the money.

I have decided that when the CC is gone and we are concentrating on some savings then I am going to buy something after each target of say £100 of extra money earned so I don't feel deprived. OH wouldn't care but I do. I have my eye on a tassimo machine, food processor and pizza oven, completely luxury items but paid for with "extra" earnings has to make it ok.

Sounds like a good plan to me yb. Well done with your sales, you sound very focussed and determined again. Go girl!
