This year I have a plan - Getting DF in 2011

debtbegone

I ended up missing MPSS last night, got talking and started putting the world to rights! Been to the PO with the first lot of parcels and need to knuckle down and get the last lot wrapped, if I'm on the ball I could have that done before dinner!

P - I've got a wee spreadsheet that I've cobbled together that will calculate the actual profit from what I've sold, then break that down to show my cut from sales of my sisters stuff. 27p is the lowest cut I've got from an item so far but I suppose it's getting rid of the clutter and gradually adding a little bit to my totals.

WRAPPING!!!

Hope you got the wrapping done....if not why are you online!!

hehe, I'm half-way there with the wrapping. Nipped on to see if any of the auctions ending around now were selling (couple of little ones, woop) and of course I end up procrastinating as soon as the laptop's opened :rotfl:

Everything WILL be wrapped before I go to bed tonight or I'll never get it in the post tomorrow!

I've procrastinated far, far too much this past week. I think that's what's got me in a bit of a funk again so I've got to actually keep myself busy, not pretend to be keeping myself busy

Sold around £30 worth on ebay tonight which has spurred me to get my butt back into gear! Get cracking every day with the 3rd job and list more of the massive pile of stuff on ebay.

I had been doing really well on cutting back on fizzy juice again, but blew that all this weekend :mad: so that needs to get back on track too if I'm ever going to shift this belly!

So this weeks aims are to:

• Drink no more than 5 cans fizzy over the whole week
• List at least 5 items on ebay every day
• Go for a 2 mile walk at least twice this week
• Spend at least 3 hours a day at job 3 to keep the money coming in
• Have 4 NSD's
• Get items wrapped the day they're paid for and posted asap!

I'll probably think of more but those are the ones that pop into my head right now. Need to go answer a couple of questions on ebay, fingers crossed for a couple more sales!

Oh, and is anyone a member of topcashback? If you are and fancy sending me a wee invite I'd be happy

• List at least 5 items on ebay every day - Just about to get listing todays
• Go for a 2 mile walk at least twice this week - think I picked the wrong week to start this, the weather is awful. Did cycle 2 miles though.
• Spend at least 3 hours a day at job 3 to keep the money coming in - tonight!
• Have 4 NSD's - big spendy day today as had to pay for parts for the car
• Get items wrapped the day they're paid for and posted asap! - after listing but before job 3

:shocked: I don't actually know where today has gone to! Better get cracking. In good news I'm slightly ahead of target for both my £5 a day and my mini challenge, woop!

• Drink no more than 5 cans fizzy over the whole week - Not going to be achieved
• List at least 5 items on ebay every day - 5 yesterday & 5 today
  
• Go for a 2 mile walk at least twice this week - did my first 2 miles today!
  
• Spend at least 3 hours a day at job 3 to keep the money coming in - have done an hour, need to crack on
  
• Have 4 NSD's - small spendy day, had to buy a couple of car care bits.
  
• Get items wrapped the day they're paid for and posted asap! - have posted up to yesterdays, need to get todays done now.
  

I'm kindof sticking to plan, apart from the juice bit which I really need to cut down on to get the weight to shift! My mum cleverly bought more (she's a total juice fiend) but bought the kind I like specifically. She thought she was doing good, argh, when it's there I drink it, when it's not I don't.

Oh dear! It's been a wee while since I've posted it felt like a really busy week but I seem to have got nowhere near what I wanted done. eBay got a bit abandoned after Tuesday, need to get back on track with that asap!

I'm sitting a wee bit ahead on the £5 a day, but a wee bit behind on my mini challenge, so that needs to be rectified with a dose of proper hard graft this week, well ebaying till my eyes go square :rotfl:

Purpleroses

Hey! was wondering where you were. Hope you didn't have any damage with the gales.

I managed 15 listings on ebay tonight woop! must keep going

debtbegone

Well done on the listings! I didn't get any done yesterday and probably wont tonight either The massive pile of clothes has got considerably smaller, though I've still got another black bag full to get through! I'm thinking I'll give them a whirl on auction, once round on bin, then bundle the lot up and try them is sized lots once. That's a fair bit of time to have stuff hanging round my room if they don't sell until lots though so if I'm going to have my room back before the summer I'd better get cracking with it!

We were lucky with the gales, just lost a couple of fence planks. It was really strange the way it was coming in waves and I was honestly expecting it to be worse. Did you get any damage with yourself?

Need to do some recalculating of my totals this week once the bills come through

debtbegone

I've made up for my no listings yesterday and went on a massive spree tonight :shocked: needs must, especially as my laptop seems to be playing up a bit!

Have realised that I'm not as far ahead with the debtbusting as I wanted to be because I'm forging ahead on point 3 of my 2 year plan: having my own car. It's making me batty not having my own wheels but should be on the road in the next couple of weeks if all goes to plan.

I'm going to get a couple more things up tonight then it's bedtime as I was seriously knackered this morning and nearly slept in.

Hope everyone's having a good week!
