Yeay! £40 odd on its way to me from quidco. About flipping time as I've been waiting ages for some of it!
That's more than the minimum payment on the small card so :jAnother 40 or so minutes on work then I'm going to settle down and watch glee on e4+1

I usually don't get anything because I don't normally buy stuff and up till last year I was named driver on ex oh's insurance so I didn't even have that. Managed to build up that amount from ebay purchases over quite a few months, buying a new bed and some bits for my mum & sister. A very nice bonus!
Want to get two new items on ebay tonight, I've got quite a lot of bits ending between now and Sunday so better keep my bum in gear. Need to nip to the Post Office this afternoon though so i should really get those bits wrapped up.The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Nothing listed by me last night
Have a lot ending tonight though, hope some of the ones with watchers get bids to push my total up as just 8 have bids at the moment.
Have oodles of work to do and should really be getting on with that instead of browsing the net!The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

£38 profit from items that ended last night with bids & have been paid up
Still waiting on payment for another 5 but I'm very happy with that! Going to grab myself a late lunch then get back to work. Lots of computer based stuff at the moment so I like to do it in little chunks or I get stiff and sore-eyed. The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

I've had a couple of good sales from the items that ended today, by good I suppose I mean way better than I was expecting! I've got a million and a million things to do today so no listing till at least tomorrow.
I had a nice surprise when i checked my ban account as I'd got a small tax refund from hmrc :shocked: They refunded me my overpayment, didn't even request it or anything!
Downside to the past few days is that I've had to buy a few wee small bits & pieces for my car, but they're necessary and I really can't wait to be back on the road
That's probably going to come across as quite silly for someone who's trying to drag herself out of debt, but I really think it'll help me mentally by just being able to jump in the car whatever the weather and escape for a while, rather than being cooped up in my bedroom trying to avoid everyone else as they're driving me crazy!

Wow, my eyes are being all weird today. Everything seems to be blurry, think it might be too much of the artificial random lights at work
Today I'm going to be brave and see if B*rclaycard will give me a 0% bt, got a letter in the post a few weeks ago but still haven't tried it but if they did it would help greatly with the bos card and take a wee bit of pressure off me.
Doing a stack of relists on ebay, some of the bits that didn't sell I'm going to try them bundled up in lots to shift them, they've been round on auction and on bin with best offer so I think that's the best way. If they don't go in a lot then it'll be off to the recycling with them.
Think it's going to be another busy week!The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time

Well stoopid BC refused me a card, doh! Why send me bumph tempting me with balance transfers if you're not going to accept :sad: I'll just have to keep chipping away little by little at the bos.
Found a few bits to sell in the shed loft tonight while I was rooting around. There's a fair bit of my brothers old toys so I'll have to see what he says about them, and really should list all the stuff in the house first!
I've been pottering about at my car today, hopefully I'll be back on the road very, very soon. SO can't wait! Might even get to drag myself to a few boot fairs through the summer, even if I only end up making pennies at them it's more than I would have if the stuff's just lying about in boxes
I'm going to have to sit down with my bills, income, expenditure and all that jazz and work myself out a stric budget for the coming months, then STICK to it so I can actually see a difference in the amount of debt I have and actually get myself below 10grand by the end of March, that's my wee mini aim at the mo :cool2:The debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
