Supposed to be getting some family photos done at 3 but other than that i think im just going to do free bingo.

    Hey JP do take it easy. enjoy the ice cream and hope it starts to feel better soon.
    Elly - charity shops don't sound like a sofa activity to me. Does Bri know???!! Must feel good tho to get out and do something just don't overdo it.
    SSN - frustrating about amazon. I've not used either of the places you mentioned sorry. Have you tried ringing amazon - they were quite helpful when my nephew was having problems setting up his selling account.
    headache much better today - just background niggles and belly ache gone. got work this afternoon so glad about that. DH was supposed to be out all day tomorrow but its cancelled. yay! so get a day all together woohoo.
    Enjoy saturday everyone.

    Started the challenge strong with a few VERY good sales on Ebay (2 x items purchased for £20 a few years ago sold for £200) but now sold everything I hoave available! Few buyer problems as well, so not going near Ebay for a while! :mad:

    However, managed to make £30 on a popular PTC site over the last few weeks, and worked out over the course of this year i'll get a projected income of at least $6,000...woo hoo! (currently works out at about £3,500)....Well happy with that! I'd post a referral link and another link to download a guide I did, but not sure if i'm allowed. PM me if you want it - can i do that?!

    Also got £40 from free bingo, but i can't be trusted not to spend it all in the hope of winning more!
  • Sitting here in the depths of despair after finally taking my head out of the sand. I'm £11,000 in debt and my family have no idea. I'm sinking faster than the titanic and have no idea what to do. It's all my own fault and there's no excuse for it. I'm a grown woman who was lonely and the lure of credit cards was just too easy when you've no will power and I find myself in debt with nothing to show for it except sleepless nights and panic attacks. Reading your story has given me hope that I can get out of this mess. Starting this morning I'm setting myself a challenge to clear this once and for all and learn from my mistakes. Stop panicking cos it's done now and cant turn the clocks back.
    Thanks for the inspiration people.

    Awww Dolly you've found the right place! Don't be in despair we're all in this together be it saving for a house deposit/business deposit, paying off debts or paying down the mortgage! Top tip is - get yourself over to the debt free wannabe forum and post up your predicament and your SOA (statement of affairs) and I'm sure people on there will help you work out how you're going to tackle this challenge! Also there should be advice on how to tell your family etc :)

    Does anyone know whats up with DYu?

    I'm adding £40 this morning from exchanging some old holiday money!!
