CravingSaving

Good morning, I am at rock bottom financially (and emotionally) but tring to look on the bright side so today I shall be......

• Taking gold jewellery around town to see who gives me the best price. I have 26g. The current market value is approx £27 per gram or £850 per troyounce (31.10 grams), but if I can even get a third of this I will be relieved. Failing that I shall offer them to Lois Jewellery or Hatton Garden Metals online traders.

• Taking 10 Xbox games back to Game to trade for cash. I theoretically could make more if I Ebayed, but it is such a faff to do one at a time on there and not guaranteed to get any bids.

• Popping into work to get boss to sign off on Housing/Council Tax benefit claim.

• Trying to organise a bring n buy sale in the local hall where I can try to sell all the bits n bobs that aren't Ebayable!

• Cancel DVD service. Another £7 p/month saved.

• Cancel subscription to Which? magazine. Shame, as this has proven to be a valuable money saving tool, but at £10 p/month, it has to go.

• Ebaying old mobile phone and all my perfume.

I had better come home with some cash in hand, or I am stuffed

Morning all

I'm still ploughing through my filing, which is actually somewhere along the way to looking a bit like a system. It was in an unbelievable mess. No wonder I was so stressed every time I had to find a document!

Today I have/will:

- check online banking
- update/check accuracy of spending diary for this week
- check for/do surveys
- laundry on airer
- send parcel back to Asda (hope they'll honour cancellation of contract without a fuss, but not holding out too much hope)
- make hot cross buns (seriously, I am addicted to HCBs, and have worked out they will cost me v. little to make, so here goes) and bread

I was very happy yesterday to see on my latest cc statement (which, naturally, I filed, immediately!) that the amount of interest I'd paid was £10 less than the previous few months. Still a long way to go, but so nice to see things moving in the right direction

Hope everyone enjoys the end of the week

Hello All,

Today as well as the usual packed lunches and bringing flasks of coffee and multipack cans to work, I am going to go on to Valued Opinions and claim my £10 as I think I have now done enough to claim it. Then I am going to browse Amazon to see what I can buy with my £5 from Just The Answer. Think it's going to be a good day :-)
