    Good morning one and all!

    Yep, it's time for my weekly blurb - which means that it's FRIDAY!!

    **I am down to a double number of repayments!!**

    Well, I have been online and moved all my pennies around. Must sit down with OH this evening and pay the dreaded CC.

    My first fleabay item sold last Sunday and was posted this week. I have managed to put another item on for 10 days starting last night - hopefully I can just keep doing one every Thursday, and keep things ticking over. I might have a a bit of a session on Sunday, but I get bored quite easily and then get overwhelmed sorting out all the posting afterwards, so would rather keep things simple! :O) My second item ends this Sunday - 2 bids and 6 watchers, so hopefully the price will keep going up!!!

    I don't think there is much else to report really! Oh, I am working this Sat as an 'extra' so that will be a few extra pounds de to me next Friday!! YAY!!

    Catch you all laters, happy debt dusting! x

    happy payday Nat's (still jealous you get them so often lol)

    well done for listing another item after selling one, you're certainly much better than i am, i've just given up. I'm probably going to go to a local car boot at some stage though when there's no risk of drowning.

    Good morning All!!

    Well, another fleabay item sold. Will send that tomorrow! Have updated my signature accordingly - will just log clear profit after postage and fees!

    Need to either up the amount I am putting on fleabay or seriously consider trying to find a boot fair to sell at! I need more money!! Well, who doesn't?? lol (or do overtime, but feel that I spend enough time here as it is... would rather do something outside these 4 walls!)

    Hope you are all having a good start to the week?

    Good morning All!

    Sorry I have been a bit lax in writing recently - it's just that there's not really been anything to say.... but now there is!

    I have asked my OH if I can take a small break in repaying him - and he's said yes! I don't like doing it, but he has agreed that for June I don't repay anything! Gotta love him. My reason for this is that I have a hen-do at the end of the month and just other little bits and pieces that are cropping up that I just dont have the money to cover - a lot of them relate to my brothers wedding, and as I am hoping he will only get married once, I want to take part as much as poss. I would rather take a repayment break than have to ask OH for some more pennies. And, I am hoping to have some money left at the end of the month that I can pay back to him in a lump sum!

    Oooh, major excitement.... have 41p due to me from Q.co!

    Other than that - not a lot to report really. We bootfaired last weekend and took just under £150 - that is now winging its way into the saving account for our holiday in September. DSS did really well with his toys and games - he took about £90! A vast sum when you are 10, lol!

    Right, work calls - really busy this week, and next week will be too!

    I hope you all have a lovely, extra long weekend! Nats x

    hi Nat, your OH is lovely to give you a payment holiday and at least it's not for wastefull reasons. Sounds like you did really well at the car boot, i've never taken that much. Usually around £90 but i've always been pleased with that as it's better than nothing.

    Hi LT - I hated asking OH for a repayment break - but I just couldn't see any other option. Luckily everyone is on a budget for the hen-do (so much so that the transport to and from the airport this end has just been reduced from £50 return to £18) - so I am hoping there will be money left at the end of the month to pay him something!

    I love bootfairing!! When I was stood out on Sunday I was wondering if there was a business opportunity out there.... bootfair other peoples stuff and just take a cut!!? I find the worst bit sorting the stuff in the first place, so if someone else did that I would be quite happy to sell it for them!! lol

    At least the holiday saving pot is filling up nicely - might even be enough in there come September to cover all the spending money as well!

    Morning All!

    Well, not a lot to report really! (just for a change!)

    Online banking has been checked and money shifted around accordingly - and that is about the highlight of my debt-busting this week!

    Have to sort out the CC this weekend and hopefully get some more items on fleabay... weather doesn't look good enough to bootfair!

    I honestly don't think there is anything else to write about - dull isn't it? lol

    Hope you all have a great weekend and don't get blown away!! Nats x

    hi, i know what you mean, feels a bit light for things to do at the moment, though i shouldn't complain, i guess for me it means i'm almost debt free and can't really improve on my current DFD
