    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Well done!

    I've had a down/up/up/down week - things were improving with refind from MFI but today my car brokedown and something has happened to the tension/fan belt and the alternator has gone. I am in Leeds but fortunately my mum is lending me her car until it gets fixed. I LOVE my mum.

    It will cost at least £200 to fix - so i'll be using challenge money but as it is still money that would have been debt I'm going to still count it in for now as otherwise I'll feel too demotivated.

    On the up side, my saab ebay item is now going for £100 with a day to go so fingers crossed (it could pay for part of the car!).

    I don't think the AA man quite understood why I would be crying over the car engine. oops.

    Amazon is still doing well for me. I have sold 8 books over the weekend so far and average at 2 books a day. I am on first name terms with the girls in the post office:-) We went to buy bookcases today as the books are everywhere. Managed to get one in the free ads which is the size of 3! My total is now up to £1209.12 with three items on ebay finishing tomorrow and currently at £21. Going to try and put some more on ebay tomorrow.

    Hey Sea

    Did you have any luck with that lamp thingy?

    Yours sounds a bit different but we use bendy lamps at work to look at things under the microscope.

    I have been fairly organised as I have a veggie box for each letter - although some letters have more than one box! Have occasionally had an issue when the children have been helping - found Taylor in the 'c' box earlier. :rotfl: Really nice to see them on shelves today though.

    I know what you mean. I have two kids, OH and puppy! We are in an old cottage which has a lot of corridor space which is where the books are - or is that should be! Many are in the living room at the moment while I am getting sorted out.
