    Well I really need to clear the debt as it will effect a new mortgage in the future. Oh I so need to do this and really crack on with some selling and making some pennies. I just want to get the finances sorted, the best I can.

    I have been gathering bits to ebay, just need to sit down and get on with it. Prob start tomorrow. Also need to check online banking and do another budget as some things have changed. Just need to sell sell sell. Sell and more sell.

    You can do it unsavy! You will get there! Just think, all the selling will mean you can pay off your debts, get the mortgage and enjoy your new house without loads of clutter.

  • Hi everyone, well I went through my makeup bag and the amount of brand new makeup and nail vanish, it's unbelievable how much I have wasted. So I've made up bundles according to brand and have list 4 lots, about 8 more to go. So fingers crossedthey will do well.

    Also relisted 25 items! Hopefully they will go this time. Also been looking on eBay at a few items to see if they go and then I'll list mine.

    Not using car, have actually made £20 last me nearly 2 wks which is very good as I would normally do £30 a wk.

    Also did a food shop for the week, £39 and that was with £5 of luxuary posh chicken aka precooked ready to eat chicken for oh to have in his sandwiches, I wouldn't normally buy but I was told he fancied chicken and my cooked chicken is dry - nice hey!

    I hope your are all ok and happy x

  • I am so fed up today, I cant believe how bad my luck with money is at the moment, I need to find £100 for 2 direct debits by the 6th of December, I am feeling so down and have been crying at what I keep going through with all this. Why have I got into this mess?

    I was given a bag of clothes today which I will wash and ebay, feeling really bad about it but I cant do anything else, I desperatley need the money. I cant carry on feeling so down with it all. I need to work really hard now. I cant believe my bank account is so bad. Its so scary!

    Thank you xx I just keep thinking why! I have a whole house full! I am going through every drawer, cupboard and sorting out so much to eBay. If it hasn't been used it's going.

    I am glad you would also, I feel a little guilty still but am desperate!

    Have you been to the doctor? I'm not a pill-taker normally. I very rarely even take a paracetamol when I have a headache, but about 12 years ago I went to see my doctor as I kept having these periods of despair. I was prescribed prozac. I know it's not for everyone but it really helped and I was only on it for 4 months. Since then, whenever i've felt the same feelings come back i've taken the pills again. In the past 12 years i've been on them about 4 or 5 times, for a period of no longer than 4 months.

    I'm not advising you to be a pill popper but sometimes these things help. I never thought i'd be on prozac! Maybe you should talk to your doctor and see what he says. xx
