    Well done on your ebay sales! Sorry to hear about the Avon, but it was the first time you'd done it and so there's always time to improve it! I don't know how avon works, but are there any offices or businesses in your area that you could drop catalogues into? We get them here periodically, and people do order from them.

    Thank you x

    Its ok, I didnt think I was going to do very well the first time, I have worked everything out for this stint as I have houses, lots of them, books, lots of them and dedication and balls to make this a success. Thank you for the tip, at the moment I am going to deliver to the houses I have been allocated and I have been telling friends and family and asking them to take into work. So fingers crossed as the debt is mounting up, the ebay sales are a little slow at the moment, and I cant find a mobile phone which I want to sell :mad: oh well back to the hard work

    How are you? x

  • Received statement for gas and electric and well I am shocked about this, were only £1.06 in debt on our gas! £208 in credit on our electric. I think they must have made a mistake to be honest!

  • What a windy day today but its not going to stop me from delivering Avon books. All ready to go. Let me focus on the avon this campaign to try and make some pennies, pounds am hoping.

    also going to pay the cards today, Ive budgeted for it so far, its going to be tight for the rest of the month but will deal with that after they are paid. Still need to make £200 to be worry free.

    Yesterday I found a revolution to cleaning which will save the pennies, make the house feel clean again and give me more cupboard space - Washing up liquid! Yes you read right, my tiles have never been so clean and as for the tap - sparkling. Who needs all the gumpf? Not me anymore! And good for the environment, didnt need to open all the windows wide to get rid of the smell which would normally be burning my eyes, making the house cold, turning the heating on and costing more money... yes I am a little excited about the clean.

    have had to open a case on ebay as a buyer still hasnt paid :mad: got to send an item today which sold and have a couple of items ending tonight, hopefully will sell as there are watchers.

    well must dash as got to go deliver the books and get to the bank. A nice walk for me today.

    Have a lovely productive day everyone.

  • End of the weekend is here but Monday is approaching and on a monday a new week begins, hoping for more productivness! And certainly more get up and go.

    Used my car yesterday, first time since last wednesday though which is impressive for me. Ive actually made a quarter of a tank last me 2 weeks! So impressive!

    Completed 1 survey today - have £6.40 in my one poll account
    Ive got £5 in my mum survey account

    Need to get back on with bingo port too.

    Delivered all my avon books, just hoping I get some orders, have got to deliver a few more when I get these ones back. Fingers crossed. Still got to work out if I made anything at all, got some returns to do also.

    Bought a cash book the other day, 80p. I know its spending out but wanted something which would fit in my handbag and easy to tell everything apart. I am so focused at the moment.

    Time to ebay later. some more bits to put on. Not doing very well at the moment. but got more to list!

    am off for now.

    Hi unsavy, hope you are ok. It's not nice when there's a lot of tension around the house, I hope you manage to get things sorted out ok (((hugs)))

    Well done on your ebay sales though, and fingers crossed for some good avon sales too.

    Great news on the electric and gas though!

  • What an interesting few days and so much I have learnt about myself. I am totally obsessed with my bank account and not spending money! I now check my bank account everyday, I feel guilty driving the car unneccesssary, I feel guilty spending money, all I want to do is make money and save every little penny so I can put it towards debts! I feel so proud of myself that finally I am being sensible with money.

    I was told that being in your overdraft really effects your credit rating, something I've never thought of, I go into my overdraft every month. So now it's my thing to keep in the black! My friend tried to apply for a credit card in her bank who she has banked with for 10 years and they refused her! She doesn't have any credit cards store cards or loans just an overdraft and a mortgage. After a few questions they discovered that she too goes in her overdraft every month and they said that can effect it! It all makes sense now! So no more going in the overdraft! First time for years!

    Neglected the house this week so next week I am cracking on with it!

  • And I need to research how to make wholemeal fruit bread, we've taken a liking to it and it's costing me a fortune so I need to weigh up making it. If it's cheaper I would even go as far as buying a bread maker and making all my bread!

  • Another £58.10 withdrawn from paypal! And another bag of rubbish! Slow day but achieved something!

    Really need to loose weight too, I have found so many lovely clothes in the back and beyond, from my slimmer days. I better start on the weight loss plan seriously again.

    So much to do and so little time to do it in!
