A Budgeteers Quest to be Debt Free & Mortgage Free By 40

DedicatedDFW

Got another item listed on e-bay :T That is it for today - now just to hope for the bids to start coming in Especially hoping that i sell some of my larger items and the more expensive things

Looking for things to list inevitably meant i got a few more things done - as i pottered about moving items, choosing a home for some things - so things are a bit more streamlined now I also discovered i have a drawer with lots of xmas cards in - that space will be very welcome later in the year in fact i might just pop those in with the gift stash and then i have some room for my notebooks great

Also going through my box of papers was good - i now put all my papers in this one place as they come in - the letters, ideas i jot down, MS paperwork, updates in my to-do list and then they are all there ready to be gone through. I have included in the box paperclips, highligher pens, to-do list, pens, pencil, scissors and post-it notes. Then when i go through the box i lift each item out one at a time and create piles of papers which are then to be filed, shredded or if action needs taking it goes in the to-do list book So having gone through this there's been a fair bit of rubbish thrown out, paperwork shredded, and papers filed away :T

Now i want to get some pretty paper to cover the box in so it looks nice when i use it - i always like things that look more cheery

Work bag is ready for tomorrow too

A busy week - though not a single MS :eek: but i have f/t and p/t work to do. Roll on Friday i say :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Looking forward to tea and hopefully a relaxed evening watching a film as we didn't get to do that yesterday

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend x

Hi all

Well another Monday and another late start from me In my defence when i went to bed last night - and for a couple of hours before that i was absolutely full of energy, wide awake and raring to go - but at 11pm at night on a sunday where are you going to go? So i went to bed knowing it was work for me today and wanting a good nights sleep - i finally nodded off only to wake up at about 3am sick _pale_ - finally felt my tummy had settled enough to return to bed at 5.30am and have had a small snooze since then - oops

Not sure how my tummy is going to be today but i still have to go to work... Just having a cuppa and am not sure thats settling too well _pale_ its going to be an interesting commute :eek::rotfl:

Checked my e-bay things already today - an expensive item i had listed had a watcher who's no longer watching but another less expensive item has several watchers only 1 item has a bid on at the mo. though i did sell an item on buy it now :T:T:T Must try and not keep checking everything :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Looked for MS's - none, bad news then on the money front but in all honesty a bit of a relief not to be rushing around and writing up reports - that'll last until the bills come in then :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Have a good Monday all

Hope you are feeling better now DDFW.

Well done on the sale and good luck with the rest of the listings!

Hiya all

Well i am very tired - but thats hardly surprising given the lack of sleep this weekend - i am not sure if i was ill due to a tummy upset or if it was maybe tiredness / over-tiredness

Still not managed to bag me a MS but i am not looking again today and i will not check again until tomorrow Part of me easing myself into a slower pace and like i say i'm glad of the rest at the moment although it'll be a bit of a shock when the money doesn't come in and the bills have to go out :eek:

Hopefully the loss of MS money will be replaced by e-bay money for now so fingers crossed for some bids please people

I have checked e-bay quite a few times - there's one or two with watchers so thats good - hope they pop bids on *must stop checking it all the time* :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Will try and push myself to 10 new things being listed on e-bay this week

Night all x

Hiya everyone

I'm not sure i've much to report but i like to log in every day as i think it helps to keep me on the straight and narrow

Yesterday i picked up some reduced price ready meals - 6 meals for £6 - considering they cost almost £3 each full price i was quite happy with this and i had one yesterday which was a really filling and enjoyable meal too :T

Have checked e-bay again :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - i know, i know, i can't help myself - looks like i'll be left with alot of the smaller items but i am hopefule some of the bigger and more costly things will sell - ooh! fingers crossed

I couldn't get onto my e-mails last night which then meant i couldn't do any surveys so will try and catch up on these tonight :cool:

Checked on-line banking - nothing unexpected, done 1x free bingo and moved onto second one

I have p/t work and f/t work for the next two days - i am so looking forward to the weekend

Checked for MS's - none for me to apply for and i have none lined up either :eek:

This weekend i'll be starting my future planning book it's actually fallen at a good time as i can work on it this weekend and my birthday is in september so its like a fresh start and fresh plans for my own year

Hope everyone has a good day

Yay for cheap meals! Always more satisfying I think!

Hey Dedicated - glad to see you are doing well - and I know what you mean about logging in helping to stop you err into Spendy Mistakes.

Hiya Pickle

Hope all is well in pickle-land

Just checking in and keeping the spendy elves in check Nothing much to report today - been to p/t work and f/t work. 2 x p/t shifts tomorrow and 1 x f/t shift.

I resisted snacking temptation at the shop so the total goes up to £3 for the bike :T

After being up and out of the house over 15 hours ago :eek: i've just tried to get onto my internet banking and can't - hope its sorted later and hope there's a chunk of umexpected money deposited :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Watchers still on e-bay but no bids as yet - really hoping to net a bit of a profit from this

Right supper will be ready in a mo. - have a good evening all
