Hi DDFW

I am good thanks. Just catching up and wanted to say how amazingly well you're doing on the overpaying front. Your EBay stamina is a joy to behold!!

Have a great weekend and do try and take some time out for yourself. You're working so hard on the debt busting and if the family stuff is also a burden then you're carrying a lot. Take it easy if you possibly can

Hi Dedicated!

It has been a while, but my word, I am impressed with how well you are doing: congratulations! You keep going - you're doing brilliantly!

Must go...in the middle of cleaning the shed *shudders*, but was just having a much-needed break. xxx

Pickle! :j:j:j Lovely to see you again hon. how are you doing? I do miss your thread

Aw thanks! Really wanting to clear target 3 debt this month - no idea at the moment how mind but i'll just have to pop my thinking cap on methinks :think: Not just now though - far too run down to think of anything at the mo. Typically after having a quite fun filled weekend it has taken its toll on me yesterday and today

Shed cleaning - you are very brave

Hi everyone

As i said i am feeling very rundown - i really should have asked for that blood test at the docs - must do so asap methinks

Do need to start pondering how i'll clear the full balance of target 3 this month in order to stay on target :think:

I am due some more cashback this month so that will help. I also need to chase a company for cashback of £50 - not sure when that will be paid.

i am still fairly close to payout on a couple of survey sites.

i need to list new things on eb*y - so i also need to find these new things for listing.

i need to put in a claim *again* with the post office for yet another missing parcel

i will of course have the usual payment to make

And i will have the funds to pay that i am no longer paying to other debts

And i need to start eating out of the cupboards and freezer

DedicatedDFW

So this evening i have re-listed all of my low value items that did not sell on the bay of e.

I have also made a list of the items i will list tomorrow that have never been listed before - total starting value of all items is £65 so if they all sold at the start price great - but of course no guarantees of this.

I do have quite a few unsold higher value items - but as i don't want to pay for the listings a second time these can wait for a free listing weekend

had questions about some of the things that didn't sell asking me to put them on at 99p instead - err nope.

I'm also due about £12-odd in from sales of books and the bay of e and £30-odd from cashback. So a total of about £50 definitely due in

i also have a further £160 outstanding in cashback - some of it claimed for as it didn't track - despite clearing cookies and some of it tracking but not yet confirmed :undecided

i have the other £50 cashback that i need to chase tomorrow so that will make a definite £100 due in that i can pay off my balance.

Tomorrow or later i'll also go over my bank account and double check if there is anything extra i can throw at the debt in there :think:

When i do that i can also check what the extra payment will be this month to the bill - £100 is budgeted for so will see what will be left over from the rest
