    Hey DC well done on the budget. I really need to take a leaf out of your book. I too am in the poo for the next couple of months. I wonder if there is any kind of plan we could work on together to egg each other along.

    I have 5 things on ebay now thanks to your inspiration. Just sold a bookcase. There was a bidding war in the last five minutes! Very exciting. Still only got £27 but hey its £27 more than I had.
    If you have any ideas that we can challenge ourselves on give me a shout.

    Thanks to you I have finally put my stuff on ebay and 5 things (yes 5) sold while I was still listing!!! Only £12 in total (all DD's old clothes) but not bad considering I was going to chuck it all.....

    I'm learning.

    Bank have been trying to contact me. I suspect because I'm living in the deep end of the overdraft. So I rang them, of course they want to sell me a loan to clear it. Well I've been there done that and it failed, no more. I will dig myself out.

    More stuff to be ebayed today, six to parcel up and post. And must find some more streams of income from somewhere...

    Am very glad to see the end of March. Means I'm a little closer to being out of the poo. Still going to be difficult, particularly the next 7 days, but I'll get there.
    Have a serious ebay session planned for Saturday.

    7 days, you can get there. One day at a time. Payday for me so I will be working out a very tight budget later. Bliss! Agree with Poles, keep checking the diary and we can all pull each other through You have already inspired me to get back on ebay.

    Bloomin' BT. Examining phone bill and I'm paying some stupid £40.80 a quarter for a calling plan - what ? I don't need this plan thing cios I have a hub phone.
    But can you cancel it ? Nope been through every option possible on the number and it's all about ordering this and that.

    Am cross, have emailed them, vented actually. Gimmee my money back !

    See off I went into thed eep end, of course I now realise you can't have BT Broadband without a calling plan. So therefore I should be researching cheaper broadband options. But I've been here before I don't want to change suppliers because BT is so reliable, therefore I'm paying through the nose. Why can't they just offer Broadband at a reasonable cost without any add ons and excessive charges.
