When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

Lemon_Tree

thanks for your kind words, i do feel that i should be doing better. I try and aim for between £900 - £1000 each month but because of the credit card spend this month i wasn't able to.

Hey LT :wave:

Wow, your monthly payments are amazing! You'll definitely have that debt busted by next year! Woo hoo.

Like your list btw - have you ever sold any toiletries? I was surprised how well some of my stuff went for on ebay.

Yippee it's payday......
updated my accounts and Mr LT's which has caused some changes:

Payment to Bank of M&D £200
Payment to Norbert £673

at least it's a positive change.

finished work at silly o'clock this evening but although i wasn't able to finish everything i needed to do at least i won't have to do more work on Monday morning. Which is good as my parents are now coming round for coffee.

have one of my worst challenges this weekend, i must acquire/order some new over the shoulder boulder holders, another bone broke in mine today so i'm now at critical mass for them.

La Es i have to admit i haven't ever sold toiletries on ebay, i do have a lot of Sanctuary bubble baths/oils etc which will realistically never be used. Trouble is i've grown to hate ebay over the years, buyers can be so bloomin greedy and strange.

urm are you not off on Monday?

Lemon_Tree

yes i am, but i was going to catch up on some work for deadlines whilst Mr LT was at work in the morning, now i don't need to. Yay!

was hoping for a financially good day today, had to return things to B&Q, Argos and a local department store, well returned everything but the last but then bought some bedding in the Dreams sale, some vacuum storage bags in argos, and some things in Dunelm. All things were necessary (i guess) and those that weren't strictly essential make our newly decorated living room look lurvely

Well done on the payments! Hope you can be enjoy the lovely palace you've made!

Hi to all on here

Lemon_Tree

Thanks Pippi, it will be even more lovely when we've cleared out all the [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL]. Looks like i'm going to have lots of things listed on the notice board at work. I've started slow and steady and listed 2 things on friday.

Lemon_Tree

well have had enquiries about one of the things i listed on the notice board at work already which is good news.
today i have....
sorted out the airing cupboard - couple of old things to take to the vets.
sorted out the outside cupboard under the stairs and the outside 'bunker'. Have binned a load of stuff, and OH has lots in his car for the charity shop.
got some things to list on freecycle
spare footstool given to my parents
couple of storage boxes from the bedroom now in cupboard understairs along with the calor gas heater.
i will declutter this house if it kills me!
