    I managed to get 11 items on ebay over the free listing weekend. Bad weekend for spending though and this week wont be much better. I have done the budget for March and we're officially skint lol. Oh well, the bills are paid and that's the main thing. One day, one day, we'll keep plodding.

    OH is home ill today and I feel slightly bleugh too. DD2 has a nasty cough and we all really need to be better for a big weekend this weekend. I did go to the shop this morning and bought fresh orange juice, cold tablets, vitamins etc to get us tip top again quickly. The windows are open to rid the house of germs. We WILL NOT be ill.

    January 2011 OP = £100 / Daily interest = £8.46 / Balance = £81,245.90
    February 2011 OP = £80 / Daily Interest = £8.43 / Balance = £80,929.68

    February has seen a reduction of 3p per day in interest, and a month off the total term. When you look at this then I realise that we are making progress no matter how small. :beer:

    That's great! Well done. Maybe I should figure out how to do daily interest as the rest of my figure aren't that inspiring!!

    Jellie there was a calculation on someone's thread to work it out, I'll try and find it and pm you the link.

    This morning I have requested £9 from TCB and posted three ebay parcels.

    Paying any interest is bad but at least with the money offset we can see a decent difference in the interest we pay each month!

    Glad it's working for you Jellie.

    Day off today and had my nails done, but I did get them half price, so kind of MSE.

    25p on onepoll, but nothing else to report sadly
