Got home to a letter from Wescot saying that they have one of my Lloyds CCs now. So whilst I was doing a letter for them, I printed off all the other letters. They are all ready to go now and I have just enough change for 2nd class stamps. My £10 is needed in the petrol tank
. Skint again until Wednesday.
But at least my free pack of contact lenses have been dispatched :T

Hi Emz, glad to hear you got your letters all printed out for your creditors. :T
I feel your pain re the petrol situation, I'm down to my last 31 miles according to the thingy that tells you how far you have left!! Will have to muster up £10 from somewhere too, to keep me mobile ;-)
Great that you got the free contacts, everything is always better when its free0 -
Posted my letters off yesterday and put the £10 in my car. Hoping that will last me to Wednesday.
Also joined Hummingbird's Christmas bonus challenge. Figure I need to start saving a bit for Christmas presents.
Ebay items are doing rubbish, 1 bid for 99p on 1 item and that's it. Don't think I will make my £10. Not sure how I am going to get the rest of the bed money. 15 days left to order it and £75 to get :eek: - £5 a day. Hmmm, maybe it is possible?
Off to have my dinner

Heya Emz,
Hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunshineI am thinking about joining in with Hummingbirds Christmas bonus challenge myself! Many moons ago (before I got into the debt mess) I used to budget for birthdays and Xmas but all that has gone out of the window the last few years! Would be good to have a bit set aside for pressies this year so might start saving now!

Hi Donna
Go for it!! I'm just putting loose change away at the moment for the challenge. Planning on changing it up at the bank every so often and then have the notes all ready for Christmas shopping at the beginning of December.

Right, just done a DIY beauty job on myself. Legs hair free, toenails painted and fringe chopped.
Ebay items ending in the next hour, and I've got the grand total of £1.98 so far. I've bid on a £15 Amazon voucher which ends on Thursday so really hoping I can get some more towards it. Only bid up to £15 for it so if someone wants to outbid me, they can!!
Put another 25p into my Christmas savings. Only some odd 5p's I had. Only 2 days to go with no money - doesn't sound too bad when you put it like that :cool:.

Umm, since when did eBay start to restrict listing items in certain categories?? Out of the 10 items I listed last week, 6 were cosmetics/skincare items. I have just tried to relist some that didn't sell and they said I have to wait 26 days as I have reached my limit on those kind of items!! :mad: - 6 items is hitting my limit??? They are having a laugh. I've got a good account with no negatives or neutrals and I always pay my fees on time. Ebay used to be fun, now it's just a joke.
Going to have to find another way of getting this bed money :mad:
