    Hi!
    Today, I had:
    -checked my emails
    -checked my online banking: £588 overdrawn!:eek: Courtesy HSBC charges, £260. I've got other basic bank account at Barclays, I need to set up dd there. Funny enough, this debt is relatively small, but because charges I can't keep up with other bills. We've always managed, better, worse, but OK. But because bad weather and chrismas, more bad weather, I had cancellations with my business and lower income and that's the result.
    -had a breakfast
    I will:
    -go to my three customers
    -cook a tea
    and I'll see what else.
    See you later!
  • Morning all and welcome to searching_me and susie-sue

    Hoping for a NSD today, fingers crossed.

    Today I will:
    Read MSE email
    Check Surveys
    Check Bank Balances
    Homemade lunch
    Walk home instead of going to the gym
    Try and do daily clicks
    Sort out the pile of clothes I "found" yesterday - some to go onto Ebay methinks :D
    Declutter the bedroom - got distracted by some gypsy weddings last night :o

    Best of all its hump day :j

    Have a great day
    xx

    I would like to give some of the bingo websites a try. I believe there is a forum and some advice on MSE Forum somewhere - can someone please point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,

    Morning all! Today I will:

    Check Onepoll.
    Update finance income/outgoings spreadsheet.
    Check my last outstanding credit card balance to see if I can pay it off when I get paid :)
    Leftovers for lunch
    Home-made soup has been taken out the freezer for dinner tonight


    I'm having zero luck with eBay. Someone wants to return shoes I sold her as they'd been used. I listed them as used! I'd only worn them twice but still re-heeled and toed them to make them sellable! Grrr... Thinking of a big boot sale instead. I have a van I can borrow so wouldn't need to hire one. Anyone had any experience of them? Are they worth it?

    I'm no expert Alibear but I wouldn't refund her...they were listed as used so what did she expect?? It's her own fault! Just be polite about it & explain it was clearly listed, & if she's not happy then she should try her luck selling them on?

    Hi all. I'm pleased to report a NSD yesterday.

    I was away overnight in York last night (for work) so raided the hotel room of all of its toiletries, tea, coffee and sugar this morning (sadly no biscuits though).

    Will spend as close to my £5 lunch allowance as I can, then eat only the sandwich and take the crisps, drink, chocolate etc back for the kids, and put it all on expenses :D
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
