£4 to my Mum today

With all the interest in Nick Skelton I wish I'd kept his autograph I got from 20 years ago when he was jumping at our local horse show - would be putting that on eBay right now!

Hi beccie, been off the boards for abit and now back on and catching up with everybody. Sorry to hear about your hols hope things work out, when is the latest you can leave it to decide whether you go or not. Well done on paying your debts, every little helps. Since last time i was on i have managed to pay off my smallest debt and now am concentrating on my overdraft which is about £600. Settingmyself a target of paying at least £400 by xmas, fingers crossed. When i first started on these boards i hoped to be DF by summer next year but have realised thats not possible, but if i manage my OD i will only have my CC left, which is'nt bad compared with how much debt i started with. Keep up with the good work.x

Hi Amber, nice to see you back lots of people popping up again which is lovely. Well done on clearing a debt :j

Oh, and I've decided tonight to find 35 things to list on eBay. I just have to find them and put them in the craft room ready for photographing. Easy right? So don't let me make any excuses!

I had alot of dvds and computer games to sell recently, did'nt fancy using ebay just cos of the number of stuff i had so used music magpie, a friend had used it and was happy with it. Easy to use and i got the full value that they quoted me( they say if any are damaged or wont work they will not pay you for it or return it) but me and my friend got the full value, cos over 25 items i did'nt have any postage to pay and they came to the house to pick up the parcel. Would use them again.x

Think i may have to join you on the ebay challenge i have more than 35 stacked in the corner just need the motivation now.
I remember putting 100 on in one weekend sometime last year why cant i do it again the pennies would come in handy.
Good luck and keep us posted

Amber - I do keep meaning to check some stuff through MM, must do that soon.

HWG - I found 42 things last out of a box in the wardrobe in the bedroom which are now stacked neatly in the corner of the craft room ready. It seemed to work - by knowing I only had to find them, I got them and did it, if I knew I had to list too I probably wouldn't have done, even if it had only been a few items. I'm weird

At this stage I'm putting everything on for 99p - the pennies will add up and I just want the stuff gone. That way it's 100 free listings a month as well, instead of waiting for a free weekend and then me never getting round to it!

£50 to my Mum today

Can't believe I almost forgot the biggest bit of news - I helped my Dad claim back his PPI and he gave me £400 of it yesterday :j:j:j

Oh and £15 to my brother - I'm not doing well at remembering anything today

Must be the distraction of 2 dogs in the office - I've been looking after OH's parents one all week but I have my bosses dog to look after till Wednesday now as well. They get on together but keep tearing round the office chasing each other - what have I let myself in for?!
