I wondered what was meant by 'roadkill' (was hoping it wasn't literal!) Fab news, Aesop.
I've agreed to refund the troublesome ebay buyer :mad: though I still have no idea what he's complaining about. I'll minus it from my total when I get the item back and pay out (at least not much - so much hassle over nothing!) The rubbishness of this is counteracted by;
- £100 from a friend I did some work for which I thought would be unpaid (won't count till I get it though)
- My current ebay bids stand at £88 and all finish over the weekend.
So on Mon I should be able to say I've made target, and be £100 ahead for Feb! :beer:
Hope all have good weekends.Debt-free & saving for the next big adventure

Ok, so I have £42.50 from Ebay sales, £2.00 from a scratch card and £18 from cashback.... and my bonus has been confirmed although I wont count that til it's in my bank next week.I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...0 -
Haven't checked my savings in a while (not that its really worth it with these rubbish interest rates) but I have a few small amounts to add for Jan interest £5.48 and £3.44
Posted the eBay parcel £4.40
Quite a few Amazon and Play sales today tooNot been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550 -
I got a payout from my hospital saturday fund to the tune of £36.40 because my dental bill was £52 and I got money back:j
I am breathing a huge sigh of relief today because my housing benefit has been reinstated so I have received a cheque for £830 this month and will receive back payment to 21 November so I am expecting another cheque for over a thousand pounds at the end of the month. I tend not to include this money in my totals - the huge back payment will be returned to my ISA because I have had to resort to using that for my rent - thankfully I now have an appointment to show my receipts at a neighborhood office, it has taken me a month to get that appointment:mad:
I am starting to make some money from my business but not a lot just yet..will I ever get off this benefit? (insert banned confused smilie here).
Hope everyone is well?0
