    I'm fed up. Just got paid - I was already overdrawn and after paying the bills I am left with a grand total of......

    £33 to live on until the 15th June!!!:eek:
    Plus I've just had to shell out £150 to balance transfer my loan.

    £10 a day has suddenly become very, very important to me.....

    Hoorah, finally properly up and running to get me off the mark for this month. Gosh it's been slow!
    Worked out I've £130 to add from overtime hours worked last week, over the weekend and today. Glad of a day off now :)

    Packed and posted half the Ebay stuff I need to, but ran out of brown tape, and when i went to the Post Office this afternoon to post the ones I had packed, I totally forgot to buy some more. So off out for that first thing!
    Got £17.19 after pees and postage to add for the bits that have been posted today. Will be slightly more to add to that tomorrow thankfully.

    Had a nice little email yesterday to say £20 had gone into my Paypal account for a MS job I did last month. Had almost forgotten I was waiting for it really, as it was my first job for this company so I wasn't sure when they paid, and the job itself took me 5 mins, and 10 mins for the report as they didn't do any of the things they were meant to!
    Also another £8 from MSing, from a company I can't remember what I did for them last month, don't remember doing anything for them. I think it may just have been a phone call, but can't be bothered to get up off the sofa and find my folder!! :D:D
    And another £15 after reimbursements that I've just noticed went into my account earlier this month.
    So an extra £43 to add this morning. :D

    Morning

    My ebay sale yesterday was £3.90 after taking off fees and postage.
    So new total is £38.13.

    I've just asked for 83p from topcashback - I wouldn't normally ask for such a small amount but I don't think anything else will become payable for a while - and I'm impatient!.
    Will add it when it turns up.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    Another two amounts to add today.

    My partner got a call last night from her bridesmaid. She's found a dress she like sfor our wedding that she wants to buy. So my partner returned the dress we had bought to Debenhams and was refunded £80 so we are adding that to the pot.

    We also sold two small items on ebay one fee's are deducted will be £8.40.
