  • Adding £10.50 from voucher's I used on my shopping today.

    We spent load's at the supermarket so I am hoping to only have to do a small shop next weekend.

    I am going to make some cakes with the eggs from my hens and I am really looking forward to my week off work, which is very soon.

    I am going to visit my grandma whom I love very much :j
  • End of Aug and I'm now up to £3,804.8. Most of that has been eBay sales and the odd bit from surveys.

    Does anyone else get frustraited by people not reading the ebay listings and then complaining about items? Last week a woman contacted me to complain that a DVD that I clearly listed as special features and box only didn't include the movie even though I made a point to writing in the listing that I had lost the movie disk. This week A guy who bought a camping lastern that was clearly marked as sold without charger contacted me to ask why it didn't have the car charger with it... I never even mentioned a car charger. It's just so frustraiting.

    hi lilac and trying hard,funny cagne was here the other day looking for the oldies was starting to think it was just me lol.
    trying hard hope you are well hows things .
    the kitchen is finished and looking great and the boiler should pay for itself in 2 yrs ,i will load a photo
    lilac the baby is so cute but not as cute as your 5 year old with her annie locks in her uniform.
    i think we should try something different next year ,holiday fund, christmas fund,car or house fund so people can set their own target 12 in 12 is £1000 a month and there is no danger i will get there .what to you think
    dribble your way to your dream??????

  • Hi elly, am fine thanks finally got a job so just playing catch up on bills and debts.

    I like the dribbling dream and I would definately join in, £12,000 next year would be way out of my league as was £11,000 for this year.

    My dream would be to be debt free by my 45th birthday which is 21 months away:eek: Only £19,000 to pay off :o but something big to aim for, we pay just under £600 on a DMP so taking that off to find £8,000 over 21 months makes it more achievable, around £400 a month..... sounds easy doesn't it?
