    Well pleased with myself today - I have set up my first overpayment on the Egg card! It won't come out till 31st October (by which time a normal £100 payment will have come out too) and it's only £75 BUT it's bringing it down and the fact that I have set it up and 'committed' to it on my spreadsheet is a considerable move for me.

    I have also sold a CD on Amazon today, OK I only get just over a quid but it's all helping.

    Something is selling on EBAY and still has quite a few hours left to go with 3 watchers, that's something else to add to the pot. Well as long as it goes, with the P&P for over £6 so I can transfer it out of PayPal! :rolleyes:

    Having a NSD today - I don't intend on going out out anywhere.

    My fiancé is off over to his best mates later leaving me with the house to myself so I intend to do some tidying/vacuuming/dusting (bedroom really needs dusting!) and spoil myself with a pizza for lunch! I still have a pizza left over from a BOGOF the other month.

    I might have a look through DVDs and CDs and see if I can list anything else on Amazon although that *will* be being ruthless as I am pretty sure most of what is left I am quite attached to. We'll see. I certainly don't think I have anything left I can EBAY now. But I will double check.

    Good news is - I feel fine today! No more queasy feelings or stomach pains or fainting. I hope that's the end of it.

    Thanks taxi - yep still in credit but I will go overdrawn by the end of the month due to grocery shopping and other pending bills coming it out.

    However it's so much better than it was and (touch wood) it should be better in November as well.

    Pregnant? :eek: Don't say things like that.

    I don't think so......really hope not....would be amazed if I was....will let you know in a few weeks though! ;)

    OK, so you will still go overdrawn a bit, but you are far more in control of the egg card than you ever were over the overdraft so that has to be a fabulous thing!

    as for the nausea etc...........hmm.....:p

  • Hi LA how's things hun? Going well I hope. Good to see you're Egg balance coming down nicely, and a positive bank account! Hope that you don't have any more dizziness or anything, maybe it was fabby reductions in John Lewis that did it?! ;) Take care of yourself xx

    Hell ATB - how nice to see you.

    I am OK thanks!

    Yes I wondered if it was the reductions in John Lewis too....but then I picked up something that was still £75 in the sale....so maybe not :)
